Description of the research topic:
In the recent years systematic investigations have clearly demonstrated the fundamental effect of non-equilibrium bulk aggregates on the interfacial properties of polyelectrolyte/surfactant (P/S) systems. This non-equilibrium perspective allowed to clarify several peculiar interfacial properties of these systems. However, a few important questions remain to be answered. Previously we have discovered a ‘redispersion/convection/spreading’ mechanism for the delivery of macromolecules to the interfaces. This project aims at identifying and controlling the key factors that responsible for the dynamics of interfacial spreading of P/S aggregates. It is foreseen that this will facilitate the development of novel drug delivery systems. In addition, this project also aims at extending our understanding of the non-equilibrium features at the air/water interface to fluid/fluid (e.g. oil/water) interfaces.
