We have directly observed the <i>in situ</i> self-assembly kinetics of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, equipped with a stopped-flow device that provides millisecond temporal resolution. This work has elucidated one general kinetic pathway for the process of PEC micelle formation, which provides useful physical insights for increasing our fundamental understanding of complexation and self-assembly dynamics driven by electrostatic interactions that occur on ultrafast timescales.

AbstractIn this study, direct evidence for the formation of magnetite via a green rust intermediate is reported. The Fe(II) induced transformation of ferrihydrite, was quantified in situ and under O2-free conditions using synchrotron-based time-resolved energy dispersive X-ray diffraction. At pH 9 and Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratios of 0.5 and 1, rapid growth (6 min) of sulphate green rust and its subsequent transformation to magnetite was observed. Electron microscopy confirmed these results, showing the initial rapid formation of hexagonal sulphate green rust particles, followed by the corrosion of the green rust as magnetite growth occurred, indicating that the reaction proceeds via a dissolution-reprecipitation mechanism. At pH 7 and Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratio of 0.5, sulphate green rust was the stable phase, with no transformation to magnetite.
