Explores polymer behavior in solution, steric stabilization, surfactants, micelles, and colloids, including charged surface interaction and colloidal stability assessment.
Explores lipid membrane properties, including vesicle stability and block-copolymer mobility, and discusses the functionalization of polymersomes for responsiveness.
Explores the formation and properties of micelles, the role of amphiphilic molecules in solubilizing fats, lyotropic liquid crystals, surface tension, and the Gibbs adsorption isotherm.
Covers the properties of soft matter, including self-assembly, polymers, colloids, intermolecular forces, and the significance of soft materials in diverse applications.
