An improved method for analyzing isothermal titration calorimetry data from oppositely charged surfactant polyelectrolyte mixtures

Structural control of polyelectrolyte/microemulsion droplet complexes (PEMECs) with different polyacrylates

“…Further measurements were performed on the D11 instrument at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble 50,51. The samples were measured at a wavelength of 6 Å with sample to detector distances of 1.5, 8 and 34 m and collimation lengths of 8, 8 and 34 m, respectively.…”

Heat of adsorption of surfactants and its role on nanoparticle stabilization

“…Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a powerful technique for characterizing polymernanoparticle interaction [ 9 ], surfactant-polymer 10 or 11 polymeric particle interactions [10][11][12], micelle formation [ 13,14], and bimolecular interactions [15]. This method is based on the repetitive titration of a certain amount of ligands (e.g.…”

Application of ITC in foods: A powerful tool for understanding the gastrointestinal fate of lipophilic compounds

“…Nevertheless, in relatively simple situations it is possible to obtain this type of fundamental information. For example, the binding constants and number of binding sites have been determined from ITC measurements for interactions between surfactants and cyclodextrins[50,51] and surfactants and polyelectrolytes[52] Interactions involving carbohydrates Polar lipids, such as small molecule surfactants, phospholipids and bile salts, may interact with various types of carbohydrates within foods and within the GIT. These interactions may alter lipid bioavailability by changing their bioaccessibility, absorption, or transformation.…”
