background: a substantial part of the public’s natural radiation dose is due to the inhalation of radon gas. most of the exposure occurs indoors where the airborne concentration of radon and its decay products is usually higher than outdoors. materials and methods: radon activity concentration has been measured twice in 50 classrooms in 5 levels (10 each) during summer and winter using solid-st...

Self-assembled polyelectrolyte–surfactant complexes in the solid state and as nanoparticles are the topic of this review. These materials combine the properties of polymers (mechanical stability) and surfactants (formation of highly ordered mesophases). Their building principle is modular which allows a great variety in their designing as well as their structural and functional properties. Typi...
