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…
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…
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…
