Random Polyelectrolytes and Polyampholytes in Solution
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, H. Orland
The behavior of polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. Various statistical charge distributions along the polyelectrolyte chain…
Adsorption Kinetics of Surfactants at Fluid-Fluid Interfaces
H. Diamant, D. Andelman
We review a new theoretical approach to the kinetics of surfactant adsorption at fluid-fluid interfaces. It yields a more complete description of the kinetics both in the aqueous s…
The Effect of Polyelectrolyte Adsorption on Inter-Colloidal Forces
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, H. Orland
The behavior of polyelectrolytes between charged surfaces immersed in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. A continuum mean field approach is used for calculating n…
Kinetics of Surfactant Adsorption at Fluid/Fluid Interfaces: Non-ionic Surfactants
H. Diamant, D. Andelman
We present a model treating the kinetics of adsorption of soluble surface-active molecules at the interface between an aqueous solution and another fluid phase. The model accounts…
Interfaces and Grain Boundaries of Lamellar Phases
Simon Villain-Guillot, Roland R. Netz, David Andelman +1
Interfaces between lamellar and disordered phases, and grain boundaries within lamellar phases, are investigated employing a simple Landau free energy functional. The former are ex…
Theory and Phenomenology of Mixed Amphiphilic Aggregates
M. M. Kozlov, D. Andelman
We give a short overview of existing approaches describing shapes and energetics of amphiphilic aggregates. In particular, we consider recent experimental data and theory in relati…
Global Phase Diagrams of Mixed Surfactant-Polymer Systems at Interfaces
X. Chatellier, D. Andelman
Insoluble surfactant monolayers at the air/water interface undergo a phase transition from a high-temperature homogeneous state to a low-temperature demixed state, where dilute and…
Protein Adsorption on Lipid Monolayers at their Coexistence Region
R. R. Netz, D. Andelman, H. Orland
We investigate theoretically the behavior of proteins as well as other large macromolecules which are incorporated into amphiphilic monolayers at the air-water interface. We assume…
Roughness-Induced Wetting
R. R. Netz, D. Andelman
We investigate theoretically the possibility of a wetting transition induced by geometric roughness of a solid substrate for the case where the flat substrate does not show a wetti…
Interfaces of Modulated Phases
R. R. Netz, D. Andelman, M. Schick
Numerically minimizing a continuous free-energy functional which yields several modulated phases, we obtain the order-parameter profiles and interfacial free energies of symmetric…
Shape of Mixed Micelles: Cylinders or Spheres? Theoretical Analysis
M. M. Kozlov, D. Lichtenberg, D. Andelman
We develop a theoretical model for the solubilization of phospholipid bilayers by micelle-forming surfactants. Cylindrical micelles, disc-like micelles and spherical micelles are c…
Steric Effects in Electrolytes: A Modified Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, H. Orland
The adsorption of large ions from solution to a charged surface is investigated theoretically. A generalized Poisson--Boltzmann equation, which takes into account the finite size o…
The Lamellar-Disorder Interface : One-Dimensional Modulated Profiles
Simon Villain-Guillot, David Andelman
We study interfacial behavior of a lamellar (stripe) phase coexisting with a disordered phase. Systematic analytical expansions are obtained for the interfacial profile in the vici…
