Novel Discrete Micellar Cubic Phase From a Mixture of GMO/Ethanol/Water

TL;DR: In this paper, the ternary phase diagram of glycerol monooleate (GMO)/ethanol/water was reconstructed, and a new phase, denoted QL (micellar cubic liquid), was detected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase transitions in polymer monolayers: Application of the Clapeyron equation to PEO in PPO-PEO Langmuir films.

TL;DR: The 2D Clapeyron law was applied emphasizing polyethylene oxide (PEO) in polypropylene oxide (PPO)-PEO block copolymers, based on new well-defined data for their Langmuir films.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free-energy functionals of the electrostatic potential for Poisson-Boltzmann theory.

TL;DR: A variational formulation with a local free-energy functional of the potential that is suited for employment in simulation schemes based on the ideas of dynamical optimization and also constructs a nonlocal free- energyfunctional of the electrostatic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphology and dynamics of vesicles

TL;DR: The shape and dynamics of vesicles are governed by the competition between curvature energy, geometrical constraints and viscous dissipation in the surrounding liquid as discussed by the authors, which can be explained theoretically using the concept of marginal stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of pyrrolidinium based surfactants.

TL;DR: Three new pyrrolidinium based surfactants were synthesized and characterized as pure aggregate components and in mixtures with 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to understand how the molecular structure of the cationic amphiphile and its mole percentage might affect the physicochemical properties of the resulting aggregates.
