Wormlike micelles are elongated flexible self-assembly structures formed by the aggregation
of amphiphiles. Above a threshold concentration, they entangle into a dynamic network …

Viscoelastic wormlike micelles are important microstructures that relate to rhelogical
properties of fluid in different applications. Recently, studies of structure and dynamic …

For the past decade, hydraulic fracturing has been an effective way of stimulating low-
permeable reservoirs to increase hydrocarbon productivity. The development of clean and …

Certain ionic surfactants self-assemble in aqueous solutions into giant flexible wormlike
micelles that behave as equilibrium polyelectrolytes. In the mid-1980s the micelle− polymer …

The formation of oil-in-water (o/w) microemulsions stabilized by the nonionic surfactants,
polyoxyethylene-10-dodecyl ether, polyoxyethylene-10-oleyl ether, N, N …

Scaling problems and complex produced fluid treatment are amongst the issues attributed to
the use of alkali in Daqing chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. These …

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and rheology are used to probe the wormlike
micelles formed in mixtures of a cationic (cetyl trimethylammonium tosylate, CTAT) and an …

Wormlike micelles have been observed and explained in a wide variety of different types of
surfactants except sulfobetaine ones. Here, we first report branched worms formed by a C22 …

Small micellar aggregates of some surfactants exhibit enormous growth in one dimension
and form very long and flexible wormlike micelles. Depending on the nature of the …

Controlling the morphological characteristics of micellar solutions is important for surfactant
performance and for achieving desired properties. In this work we study how monovalent …
