Abstract

Abstract: Interactions between ionic organic systems, such as surfactants or polyelectrolytes, and divalent or higher valent metal ions have been studied extensively for many years, but still present challenges in understanding the type and nature of interactions involved and also the driving forces behind metal ion binding.
