Hot Article: Phase diagrams come alive: understanding how to create, destroy or change ordered surfactant structures by polymerizing the counterions

A team of scientists have shown that equilibrium phase diagrams can predict the outcome of polymerization reactions in surfactant systems. The team from Lund University, Sweden and Coimbra University, Portugal, claim that the general trends that should also be relevant for more complex systems.
