Recent experimental techniques used to investigate shear banding are reviewed. After
recalling the rheological signature of shear-banded flows, we summarize the various tools …

Vesicles constitute an interesting morphology formed by self-aggregating amphiphilic
molecules. They exhibit a rich structural variety and are of interest both from a fundamental …

Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies explains the dynamics of micellar equilibria,
tracking surfactant exchange, and micelle formation/breakdown processes. Highlighting the …

Here, a photoluminescent liquid crystal that exhibits a change of emission color on the
metastable–stable phase transition induced by external stimuli is prepared. A 2, 6 …

In response to intensifying interest on surfactant research brought on by recent innovation,
Structure-Performance Relationships in Surfactants, Second Edition examines novel …

Vesicle structures primarily embody spherical capsules composed of a single or multiple
bilayers, entrap** a pool of aqueous solution in their interior. The bilayers can be …

Vesicles are hollow aggregates, composed of bilayers of amphiphilic molecules, dispersed
into and filled with a liquid solvent. These aggregates can be formed either as equilibrium or …

We review recent developments concerning flow properties and shear induced structures in
surfactant solutions. Different lyotropic phases, ie isotropic solutions of wormlike micelles, as …

Abstract Motivation Surfactants like C 8 E 8 CH 2 COOH have such bulky headgroups that
they cannot show the common sphere-to-cylinder transition, while surfactants like C 18: 1 E …

The shear-induced structure formation in lyotropic lamellar phases containing water-soluble
polymers is investigated. The lyotropic phases consisted of sodium dodecyl sulfate/1 …
