Towards functional materials from polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes

Polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes (PSCs) are used to create nanostructured solid materials through two methods. First, they are combined with co-surfactant and oil to form electrostatically self-assembled amphiphilic complexes (ESAs). These materials exhibit long-range order at the nanoscale for...
