U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Reactivity at Charged Interfaces in Aqueous Media

这项由美国-巴西合作科学计划颁发的奖项将支持罗格斯大学的Laurence S. Romsted博士、圣巴巴拉加州大学的Clifford A. Bunton博士、巴西圣保罗大学的Hernan Chaimovich博士、以及巴西圣卡塔琳娜联邦大学的法鲁克·诺姆博士。该项目将为离子和分子在缔合胶体表面的相互作用提供新的信息。该项目将使四个小组之间的成功合作得以继续，并将继续测试、完善和开发用于处理胶束、微乳液和囊泡等联合胶体反应性的模型。估计胶束和囊泡中物质表面浓度的新方法胶束上特定离子结合效应的定量建模；而离子结合在超声囊泡内部的建模是该项目的直接目标之一。

This award from the U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Science Program supports research in chemistry to be conducted by Dr. Laurence S. Romsted of Rutgers University, Dr. Clifford A. Bunton of the University of California, Santa Barbara, Dr. Hernan Chaimovich of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Dr. Faruk Nome of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The project will provide new information on the interactions of ions and molecules at association colloid surfaces. The project will enable the continuation of a successful collaborative effort between the four groups and will continue to test, refine and develop models for treating reactivity in association colloids such as micelles, microemulsions and vesicles. New methods for estimating surface concentrations of species in micelles and vesicles; quantitative modeling of specific ion binding effects on micelles; and the modeling of ion binding on the interior of sonicated vesicles are among the immediate goals of the project.
