One of the first SANS TR-resolved experiments to follow the transition from micelle to vesicle induced by dilution of aqueous mixture of lecithin and bile salt. Upon dilution, the shape of the monodisperse micelles changes from small spherical to elongated, flexible and locally cylindrical structures that close after several hours.

TR-SAXS study of the transition from micelles to vesicles in a zwitterionic-anionic micellar mixture. The results reveal transient state of disklike micelles which grow during the initial few hundred milliseconds and then close to form unilamellar vesicles with a narrow size distribution. The radius evolves following an exponential law from 13 to 28 nm in about 600 s. The driving mechanism is very likely the unfavourable edge energy arising from packing constraints characterised by the mine tension. To reduce the edge energy, the floppy micelles coalesce until they reach a critical radius and close.

Vesicles formation and growth in catanionic and zwitterionic systems are investigated by TR-SAXS. Transient disklike micelles are evidenced in the zwitterionic system, whereas vesicles are already formed 10 ms after the mixing for the catanionic mixture. The different mechanisms are explained by the role of electrostatic barrier and bending energy on the formation, growth and stability of vesicles are given.

40. 3 particles is investigated by means of TR-SAXS. The spherical particles are formed within the first 10 ms after mixing and have an amorphous structure. They rapidly aggregate without change of size. Addition of block-copolymer does not influence the size and morphology of the particles but slows the aggregation process. After 50 min, a transformation from an amorphous state to vaterite nanocrystallites has taken place.

The early stages of formation of complexes of calcium phosphate in presence of fetuin-A are followed by TR-SAXS. The formation of primary particles is very fast, less than 35 ms. Acting as a surface stabilizing layer, fetuin-A prevent the aggregation of the primary particles.

The motion of proteins into densely grafted layer polyelectrolyte brushes is investigated by TR-SAXS combined with 20 ms time resolution. The system is composed by a colloidal particles composed of polystyrene sphere (SPB) with chemically grafted chains of polyacrylic acid. The protein is the bovine serum albumine (BSA). The uptake of the BSA is relatively fast and the final state is reached after 3 s. The total amount of adsorbed proteins scales with time as t1/4. The motion is governed by a balance of frictional and external forces.
