Charge morphology

Biopolymers are suitable materials as nanoparticles for clinical applications due to their versatile traits, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low immunogenicity. it is important to control particle size, charge, morphology of surface, and release rate of loaded molecules to use biopolymer-based nanoparticles as drug gene-delivery carriers. 

Cationic surfactants may be used [94] and the effect of salinity and valence of electrolyte on charged systems has been investigated [95-98]. The phospholipid lecithin can also produce microemulsions when combined with an alcohol cosolvent [99]. Microemulsions formed with a double-tailed surfactant such as Aerosol OT (AOT) do not require a cosurfactant for stability (see, for instance. Refs. 100, 101). Morphological hysteresis has been observed in the inversion process and the formation of stable mixtures of microemulsion indicated [102]. 

These compounds may reduce the reactivity of lithium and make the lithium deposition morphology smoother as a result of the spontaneous electrochemical alloy formation during the charging of lithium on the anode. The lithium was plated on... 

Apart from reactions with the electrolyte at the carbon surface, the irreversible specific charge is furthermore strongly affected by the possible co-intercalation of polar solvent molecules between the graphene layers of highly graphitic matrices [139]. This so-called "solvated intercalation reaction" depends (i) on the crystallinity and the morphology of the parent carbonaceous material, which will be discussed in Sec. 

Figure 15 shows a set of complex plane impedance plots for polypyr-rolein NaC104(aq).170 These data sets are all relatively simple because the electronic resistance of the film and the charge-transfer resistance are both negligible relative to the uncompensated solution resistance (Rs) and the film s ionic resistance (Rj). They can be approximated quite well by the transmission line circuit shown in Fig. 16, which can represent a variety of physical/chemical/morphological cases from redox polymers171 to porous electrodes.172... 

The use of interpenetrating donor-acceptor heterojunctions, such as PPVs/C60 composites, polymer/CdS composites, and interpenetrating polymer networks, substantially improves photoconductivity, and thus the quantum efficiency, of polymer-based photo-voltaics. In these devices, an exciton is photogenerated in the active material, diffuses toward the donor-acceptor interface, and dissociates via charge transfer across the interface. The internal electric field set up by the difference between the electrode energy levels, along with the donor-acceptor morphology, controls the quantum efficiency of the PV cell (Fig. 51).
