Thermoreversible gelation of poly(vinylidene fluoride) in phthalates: the influence of aliphatic chain length of solvents.
TL;DR: A model has been proposed, based on electronic structure calculations, to explain the conformation of PVDF chain in presence of various phthalates and their complexes, which offer the cause of higher gelation rate for longer aliphatic chain length.
Micellar solution with pH responsive viscoelasticity and colour switching property
J. Linet Rose,B. V. R. Tata,Yeshayahu Talmon,Vinod K. Aswal,Puthusserickal A. Hassan,Lisa Sreejith +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an aqueous micellar system showing pH responsive viscoelasticity and optical properties was reported. But the authors did not consider the effect of pH adjustment pH dependent changes in bulk properties and the microstructures responsible for the behaviour.

Aggregation and Rheological Behavior of the Lavender Oil–Pluronic P123 Microemulsions in Water–Ethanol Mixed Solvents
Oyais Ahmad Chat,Nighat Nazir,Parvaiz Ahmad Bhat,Parvaiz Ahmad Bhat,Puthusserickal A. Hassan,Vinod K. Aswal,Aijaz Ahmad Dar +6 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the use of a biocompatible and temperature sensitive self-assembled P123 based formulation for lavender oil solubilization that can be beneficial in the cosmetic industry wherein controlled release of fragrances and so forth is demanded.

Study of refolding of a denatured protein and microenvironment probed through FRET to a twisted intramolecular charge transfer fluorescent biosensor molecule
TL;DR: An easy and efficient method to study the microenvironment, and unfolding and refolding of a protein is presented and reveals the roles of spacer group of gemini surfactants, 12-4-12-2Br− and 12-8-12,2 Br− on refolding and unfolding of BSA.

Effect of adding glycols to the micellar properties of Tween: small-angle neutron scattering and turbidity measurements
Rakesh Kumar Mahajan,Jyoti Chawla,Mandeep Singh Bakshi,Gurinder Kaur,Vinod K. Aswal,Prem S. Goyal +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and turbidity measurements have been carried out on the nonionic surfactants Tween 20 and Tween 80, in the presence of diethyleneglycol (DEG), triethylenedlycol(TEG), ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGMEE), and ethylenegleycol mono butyl ether(EGMBE), and the results show that the shapes of the Tween micelles are oblate ellipsoidal, which do not change predominantly in the
