Counterion binding to nonionic micelles: effect on interactions with silica
This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible... -
Understanding Amphiphilic Self-Assembly in and by Protic Ionic Liquids
The goal of this project is to understand the intermolecular forces that promote amphiphile self assembly in ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), a room temperature ionic liquid (IL)....
