Journal ArticleDOI
Universal emulsion stabilization from the arrested adsorption of rough particles at liquid-liquid interfaces.
Michele Zanini,Claudia Marschelke,Svetoslav E. Anachkov,Emanuele Marini,Alla Synytska,Lucio Isa +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that surface roughness strongly pins the particles' contact lines and arrests their adsorption in long-lived metastable positions, and the roughness-induced interface deformations around isolated particles are measured to indicate future design rules for particle-based emulsifiers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the aggregation number and charge of ionic surfactant micelles from the stepwise thinning of foam films
Svetoslav E. Anachkov,Krassimir D. Danov,Elka S. Basheva,Peter A. Kralchevsky,Kavssery P. Ananthapadmanabhan +4 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the micelles of greater aggregation number have a lower degree of ionization, which can be explained with the effect of counterion binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic Growth of Giant Wormlike Micelles in Ternary Mixed Surfactant Solutions: Effect of Octanoic Acid.
Gergana S. Georgieva,Svetoslav E. Anachkov,Ingo Lieberwirth,Kaloian Koynov,Peter A. Kralchevsky +4 more
TL;DR: The results contribute to a better understanding of the structure-rheology relations in micellar surfactant solutions and could be useful for controlling the properties of formulations in personal-care and house-hold detergency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle detachment from fluid interfaces: theory vs. experiments
Svetoslav E. Anachkov,Svetoslav E. Anachkov,Ivan Lesov,Ivan Lesov,Michele Zanini,Peter A. Kralchevsky,Nikolai D. Denkov,Lucio Isa +7 more
TL;DR: A detailed theoretical model based on the capillary theory of flotation was developed and successfully applied to predict the experimental force-distance curve of a truncated sphere, whose cut is positioned below the point of particle detachment from the interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscosity Peak due to Shape Transition from Wormlike to Disklike Micelles: Effect of Dodecanoic Acid
Svetoslav E. Anachkov,Gergana S. Georgieva,Ludmila Abezgauz,Dganit Danino,Peter A. Kralchevsky +4 more
TL;DR: The structure-rheology relations in micellar solutions that might be applied for the design of personal-care and household formulations are elucidated.
