This review highlights the relevant issues of spontaneous formation of vesicles. Both the
common characteristics and the differences between liposomes and vesicles are given. The …

Lipid vesicles (liposomes) are closed structures in which (at least) one lipid bilayer
separates an aqueous inner compartment from the bulk external aqueous medium, as in …

Crew‐cut micelle‐like aggregates represent a new type of aggregate formed in solution by
the self‐assembly of highly asymmetric amphiphilic block copolymers. The aggregates are …

Self-assembly in mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants occurs synergistically because
of attractive interactions between the oppositely charged headgroups. Here, such effects are …

It is commonly known that cationic and anionic surfactants cannot be mixed without the risk
of precipitation or instability. However, many studies have shown that not only is it possible …

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

Poly (styrene)-b-poly (acrylic acid)(PS-b-PAA) diblock copolymer vesicles are
thermodynamically stable in solutions of dioxane/THF/H2O or DMF/THF/H2O. The vesicle …

The so-called 'catanionic'vesicles are made from mixtures of cationic and anionic
surfactants. They are attracting much interest because they form spontaneously and they …

Surfactant based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is an interesting area of research for several
petroleum researchers. In the present work, individual and mixed systems of anionic and …

In this manuscript we report pH induced micellar transition in aqueous solution of
cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the presence of three weakly polar aromatic …
