Mixtures of surfactants can result in formation of various structures like micelles, vesicles and
inverted micelles. Catanionic vesicular systems are preferred on account of their ease of …

Anionic–cationic surfactant mixtures are known to exhibit synergistic effects (eg., low critical
micelle concentration, ultralow interfacial tension, middle phase microemulsion formulation …

Colloidal solutions of surfactants that form micelles or vesicles are useful for solubilizing and
stabilizing hydrophobic molecules that are otherwise sparingly soluble in aqueous solutions …

Test results indicate that a lipophilic surfactant can be designed by mixing both hydrophilic
anionic and cationic surfactants, which broaden the design of novel surfactant methodology …

The surfactant structure–performance relationship and application properties in enhanced
oil recovery (EOR) for binary mixtures of anionic and cationic surfactants are presented and …

The present work aims to study the interactions of cationic surface active ionic liquids
(SAILs), 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride,([C n mim][Cl], where n= 8, 10 and 12) with …

Self-propelled oil droplets in a nonequilibrium system have drawn much attention as both a
primitive type of inanimate chemical machinery and a dynamic model of the origin of life …

Developments in the field of photodynamic therapy (PDT) are being made by investigating
appropriate photosensitizers (PSs) and enhancing the penetration effect of light by …

A catanionic surfactant system is an aqueous solution or dispersion of cationic and anionic
surfactants that spontaneously self-assemble into structures such as micelles, vesicles, and …

Current models and concepts are introduced and used to characterize the physical
properties of homogeneous, small molecule, surfactant solutions such as the critical micelle …
