The association between a randomly pyrene labeled PAA polymer (PAAMePy55) and a PEO−PPO−PEO triblock copolymer (P123) in aqueous solutions of different NaCl concentrations and pHs has been studied by means of dynamic light scattering (DLS) and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy at 40 °C. At acidic pH values, in the low P123/PAAMePy55 molar ratio regime (i.e., at low P123 concentrations), the relaxation time...
By using absorption and fluorescence (steady-state and time-resolved) techniques, the interaction between a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), randomly grafted with pyrene (Py) units (PAAMePy55), and a triblock copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide) (EO20PO68EO20, P123) was investigated. From the fluorescence data, it is shown that upon addition of P123 a decrease of the (pyrene−pyrene, Py−Py) intra...
Mixed catanionic surfactant systems based on amino acids were investigated with respect to the formation of liquid crystal dispersions and the stability of the dispersions. The surfactants used were arginine-N-lauroyl amide dihydrochloride (ALA) and Nα-lauroyl-arginine-methyl ester hydrochloride (LAM), which are arginine-based cationic surfactants; sodium hydrogenated tallow glutamate (HS), a glutamic-based ani...
