Aggregates, dynamically formed from surfactants in water above a certain concentration (critical micelle concentration, cmc). In contrast to vesicles they consist of a hydrophobic core. 

Understanding the relationships between the interparticle forces, structure formation and final mechanical properties of particle gels is a complex problem, as discussed by Dickinson (2000). The challenge is to control the aggregation dynamics... 

A key issne concerns the treatment of roles a molecular entity can adopt. Rather than performing multiple inheritance from a protein and catalyst class (static multiple inheritance), for example, to derive an enzyme subclass, we instead combine the role object catalysis with the metabolic entity protein through aggregation (dynamic mnltiple inheritance). Thus, the metabolic entity maintains a list of the roles it can assnme along with the context for each role for instance, a protein may assume the role of catalyst for a given instance of a reaction class. In this way, the protein object can adopt differing roles (e.g., catalyst, transporter) in different scenarios. Also, an object can acqnire additional roles easily as they are discovered without having to modify or rebuild its class definition. 

A number of cost studies and optimized cost-benefit analyses of the economic impact of CO2 emissions have been published in the literature (e.g., Manne and Richels, 1991 Peck and Teisberg, 1992 Nordhaus, 1993 Richels and Edmonds, 1995 Tahvonen and Storch, 1994 Nordhaus and Yang, 1996 Wigley et ai, 1996 see also the review by Fankhauser, 1995). Normally, the climate models are reduced to box-type models, while the economic models are represented as aggregated dynamic-growth models,...

Aggregation dynamics of micro-hydrogeis dispersed in iso-octane... 

Abstract Aggregation dynamics of water-in-oil microemulsion containing polyacrylamide gels have been investigated. Gels were formed only in an aqueous phase of water-in-oil microemulsions composed of a surfactant Aerosol OT, iso-octane, and water. Increasing the temperature, the percolation transition first occurred and then the phase separation occurred. The percolation transition was characterized by a steep increase of the electrical conductivity, which was interpreted in... 

Use of various a-type (Lewis base) and p-type (Lewis acid) ligands that can form complexes with the counterion or with the propagating ion pair. This can lead to faster aggregation dynamics of the ligand-complexed ion pairs. 

N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEAAm) in polar and nonpolar solvents using alkyllithium initiators is complicated due to the presence of slow aggregation dynamics of the propagating amido enolate ion pairs similar to ester enolate ion pairs in alkyl (meth) acrylate polymerization. Attempts were made to use different initiators in combination with coordinating ligands to control the polymerization, and only minimum control on molecular weight, MWD, and the stereostructure of the polymers was obtained."""-"""...
