Formation and Dynamics of Self-Organized Structures in Surfactants and Polymer Solutions [Paperback]

The International Symposium on Colloid and Polymer Science was held at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Nagoya, Japan, in October 1996. The program covered both the fundamental aspects as well as technological applications of micelles, microemulsions, monolayers, and biocolloids. Special emphasis was placed on formation and dynamics of self-organized structures, including technical developments, applications, general theory, and results of investigations.Organized structures and dynamics in surfactant solutions.- Formation of structures in surfactant-polymer solutions.- Phase transitions of polymer solutions induced by surfactants.- Controlling microscopic and mesoscopic structures in polymer solutions.- Biocolloids.- Other related topics.
