Our research is related with transport phenomena (electrical conductivity, mutual and self-diffusion, viscosity, etc.) of electrolytes and polyelectrolytes in aqueous solutions and through polymers.

Some research topics are:

-Binding studies of surfactant-cyclodextrin host-guest compounds

Langmuir 2006, 22, 8663–8669

-Interactions between multivalent metal ions and surfactants

Acta Chimica Slovenica 2009, 56, 45-52.

- Photophysical and conductivity properties of conjugated polyelectrolytes

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2009, 1, 864-874.

- Interactions between surfactants and DNA in aqueous solutions and in gel matrices

Langmuir 2008, 24, 273–279
