Pyrene fluorescence intensity and conductivity measurements were used to determine the cmc of two monomeric surfactants namely, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as well as two gemini surfactants, 16-3-16 2Br and 16-4-16 2 ...
Superparamagnetic MnFe2O4 nanocrystals of different sizes were synthesized in high-boiling ether solvent and transferred into water using three different approaches. First, we applied a ligand exchange in order to form a water soluble polymer shell. Second ...
(Figure Presented) Surfactants such as sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) can reduce the interfacial tension between bulk water and bulk n-hexadecane by 42 mN/m. Although reduction of interfacial tension should also take place on the interface of nanoscopic oil d ...
The stacking of positively charged (or doped) terthiophene oligomers and quaterthiophene polymers in solution is investigated applying a recently developed unified electrostatic and cavitation model for first-principles calculations in a continuum solvent. ...
Block copolymers are comprised of repeating chemical groups (blocks) which commonly contain at least one hydrophilic block coupled to at least one hydrophobic block, forming an amphipathic macromolecule. This molecular arrangement drives the self assembly ...
The use of nanomaterials has been shown to be promising in potential applications such as magnetic storage devices, nano-optical devices and sensors, amongst others. Such applications require the disposition of nanoparticles, of a wide variety of materials ...

This paper describes the techniques and physical parameters used to produce stable centimetric water drops in microgravity, and to study single cavitation bubbles inside such drops (Parabolic Flight Campaigns, European Space Agency ESA). While the main sci ...
In this study, we characterize the CCN activity of the water-soluble organics in biomass burning aerosol. The aerosol after collection upon filters is dissolved in water using sonication. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic components are fractionated from a porti ...
We explored the effects of addition of the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 on the stability of aggregates of poly(ethylene glycol-bl-propylene sulfide) di- and triblock copolymers. Fluorescence spectra of pyrene, used as a probe molecule, elucidated the v ...
