Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Organic chemistry
  • Ion

His primary areas of study are Ion, Inorganic chemistry, Chemical physics, Hofmeister series and Ionic bonding. His research integrates issues of Molecular physics, London dispersion force, Surface tension and Surface charge in his study of Ion. His Chemical physics study also includes

  • Vesicle which connect with Bilayer and Self-assembly,
  • Nanotechnology that connect with fields like Kosmotropic.

His study in Hofmeister series is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Double layer and Thermodynamics. His Ionic bonding study incorporates themes from Micelle, Solvation shell, Dispersion, Ab initio and Analytical chemistry. His Physical chemistry research includes elements of Microemulsion, Stereochemistry and State of affairs.

His most cited work include:

  • Theory of self-assembly of hydrocarbon amphiphiles into micelles and bilayers (3548 citations)
  • ‘Zur Lehre von der Wirkung der Salze’ (about the science of the effect of salts): Franz Hofmeister's historical papers (734 citations)
  • Theory of self-assembly of lipid bilayers and vesicles (670 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Chemical physics, Ion, Microemulsion, Ionic bonding and Inorganic chemistry are his primary areas of study. Barry W. Ninham studied Chemical physics and van der Waals force that intersect with Classical mechanics. His work deals with themes such as Dispersion, Thermodynamics and London dispersion force, which intersect with Ion.

His Microemulsion study also includes

  • Soft matter that connect with fields like Self-assembly,
  • Colloid that connect with fields like Nanotechnology. His work on Ionic bonding is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Ab initio. His Inorganic chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Salt and Micelle, Aqueous solution.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Chemical physics (18.43%)
  • Ion (18.43%)
  • Microemulsion (12.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Ion (18.43%)
  • Chemical physics (18.43%)
  • Inorganic chemistry (11.32%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Barry W. Ninham mainly investigates Ion, Chemical physics, Inorganic chemistry, Solvation and Aqueous solution. Ionic bonding and Ion binding are the primary areas of interest in his Ion study. His Chemical physics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Microemulsion, van der Waals force, London dispersion force and Bubble.

His Microemulsion research integrates issues from Amphiphile, Bilayer, Membrane and Micelle. Barry W. Ninham interconnects Salt, Hofmeister series, Potassium, Colloid and Solubility in the investigation of issues within Inorganic chemistry. His Hofmeister series research incorporates themes from Chromatography and Kosmotropic.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hofmeister phenomena: an update on ion specificity in biology. (569 citations)
  • Models and mechanisms of Hofmeister effects in electrolyte solutions, and colloid and protein systems revisited (271 citations)
  • Hofmeister challenges: ion binding and charge of the BSA protein as explicit examples. (57 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Organic chemistry
  • Ion

His primary areas of study are Ion, Solvation, Chemical physics, Colloid and Inorganic chemistry. His specific area of interest is Ion, where Barry W. Ninham studies Ionic bonding. The Chemical physics study combines topics in areas such as Adsorption, Quantum, van der Waals force, London dispersion force and Microemulsion.

His studies deal with areas such as Self-assembly, Amphiphile and Micelle as well as van der Waals force. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Colloid, focusing on Nanotechnology and, on occasion, Cell theory, Kosmotropic and DLVO theory. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Electrophoretic light scattering, Potassium, Hofmeister series and Solubility.
