The electrostatic, hydrodynamic and conformational properties of aqueous solutions of succinoglycan have been analyzed by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), proton titration, and capillary electrophoresis (CE) over a large range of pH values and ...
Despite progress during the last decade, the behavior of charged macromolecules, polyelectrolytes, including their interactions is not yet completely understood. In particular, interactions with oppositely charged surfaces, which play a significant role in ...
Placing concrete requires much more water than the cement needs for its hydration. This results in an important porosity in the hardened concrete, which accentuates the degradation of this material. By adding small amounts of polymeric admixtures, called s ...
A family of cationic polyelectrolytes possessing defined chain lengths, narrow chain length distributions, uniform charge d., but substituents of different hydrophilicity at the quaternary ammonium group served as model compds. for adsorption studies. Thes ...
The Pb and Cd binding capacity of alginates were quantified by the determination of their complex stability constants and the concentration of complexing sites using H+,Pb 2+,orCd2+ selective electrodes in both static and dynamic titrations. Centrifugation ...

A modified synthetic boundary expt. of anal. ultracentrifugation has been employed to examine, online, polyelectrolyte complex formation at flat interfaces yielding highly swollen membranes/networks. Systematic expts. with sodium alginate as a polyanion an ...

Superplasticizers (SP) of the “new generation” are essentially polycarboxylate polymers. Polymers of this family can be produced with almost infinite variations in their chemical structure, which allow the fulfilment of specific (tailored) properties. Thes ...

We numerically investigate the competition between phase separation and dynamical arrest in a colloidal system interacting via a short-ranged attractive potential. Equilibrium fluid configurations are quenched at two different temperatures below the critic ...

Methods are provided for producing microcapsules based on two oppositely charged polymers, in particular to optimise the permeability and mechanical stability of microcapsules. The capsules are formed by introducing liquid droplets from an aqueous solution ...

Poly(vinylbenzylammonium chloride) (PVBAC) polyelectrolytes possessing defined chain lengths, narrow chain length distributions, uniform charge d., but substituents of different hydrophilicity and size at the quaternary ammonium group were used as model co ...
