Polymer colloids

Ebook "Polyelectrolyte complexes in the dispersed and solid state I: Principles and theory" is intended to extend the content of this former chapter by bringing together selected state-of-the-art contributions on principles and theory. Progress and new knowledge on theoretical aspects of electrosorption phenomena between PEL and oppositely charged surfaces and of the practically always apparent aggregation and clustering tendency of PEC particles are reviewed.

Ebook "Crystallization of nanoscaled colloids" deals with the processes that create ordered assemblies from disordered nanoparticles. Ordered packings of nanoscale particles can exhibit unusual properties. This work investigates the self-assembly of such particles, a process widely employed for the generation of ordered structures, but not yet well understood. In situ methods are used to observe the assembly of sub-micron polymer lattices and sub-10 nm gold particles into crystalline monolayers and aggregates.

Ebook "Vinyl acetate emulsion polymerization and copolymerization with acrylic monomers" provides a collection and logical organization of the published data - much of it formerly found fragmented throughout various journals and little of it referenced in general emulsion polymerization books. To date, no one source has offered chemists and polymer, surface, or colloid specialists the "big picture" of polyvinylacetate-based latices.

Ebook "Soft and fragile matter: Nonequilibrium dynamics, metastability and flow" provides self-contained and pedagogical coverage of the rapidly advancing field of systems driven out of equilibrium, with a strong emphasis on unifying conceptual principles rather than material-specific details. Balancing theory, simulation, and experiment, this broadly-based, pedagogical account of a rapidly developing field is an excellent compendium for graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics, materials science, and physical chemistry.

Chitosan has received a lot of attention as a carrier for small interfering RNA (siRNA), due to its capacity for complexation and intracellular release of these molecules. However, one of its limitations is its insolubility at neutral pH and the tendency towards aggregation of its nanoparticles in isotonic ionic strength.

The structure and dynamics of networks formed by rod-shaped particles can be indirectly investigated by measuring the diffusion of spherical tracer particles. This method was used to characterize cellulose nanofibril (CNF) networks in both dispersed and arrested states, the results of which were compared with coarse-grained Brownian dynamics simulations.

The isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from milk, a complex mixture of colloidal structures having a comparable size to EVs, is challenging. Although ultracentrifugation (UC) has been widely used for EV isolation, this has significant limitations, including a long processing time at high g-force conditions and large sample volume requirements.

The paper presents the influence of fucoidan (FD) on stability of alumina suspensions in the presence of cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The research results show that fucoidan adsorbs on the alumina surface and that the adsorption decreases in the CTAB presence.

The aim of research was to develop biopolymer films based on natural polysaccharides. For the first time, biodegradable films were obtained on the basis of a furcellaran-chitosan polyelectrolyte complex. The conditions for its formation were determined by measuring the zeta potential as a function of colloid pH, the size of pure components and their mixtures.
