Dimeric and oligomeric surfactants are novel surfactants that are presently attracting
considerable interest in the academic and industrial communities working on surfactants …

Dimeric (gemini) surfactants are made up of two amphiphilic moieties connected at the level
of, or very close to, the head groups by a spacer group of varying nature: hydrophilic or …

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated rapid progress in their power conversion
efficiencies (PCEs)—from 3.8% in 2009 to 25.7% in 2022—and they have received …

The first reports on gemini surfactants concerned bisquaternary ammonium halide
surfactants. Their biological activity in aqueous solution was studied [13, 16, 17], and …

The semifluorinated molecular diblock compounds considered here consist primarily of
covalent assemblages of a linear perfluoroalkyl chain (F-chain, CnF2n+ 1) and a linear …

Gemini surfactants have been the subject of intensive scrutiny by virtue of their unique
combination of physical and chemical properties and being used in ordinary household …

Fluorinated components useful for organizing space at the molecular, nanometer and
micrometer scales include perfluorocarbons, perfluoroalkylated surfactants and …

Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) is a powerful method for uncovering the
structure of soft nanostructured materials. The method is based on ultra-fast cooling and …

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

Gemini surfactants are constructed by two hydrophobic chains and two polar/ionic head
groups covalently connected by a spacer group at the level of the head groups. Gemini …
