Journal ArticleDOI
Viscoelastic micellar solutions: microscopy and rheology
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of aqueous solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) with salicylate (from NaSal) as the binding counterion are presented as a function of counterion concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct imaging of surfactant micelles, vesicles, discs, and ripple phase structures by cryo-transmission electron microscopy
TL;DR: In this article, a model was proposed for the ripple structure and the ripple structures were shown to exist as single bilayers, which suggests that the structures observed may result from unbinding fluctuations that disrupt lamellar phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superspreading of water—silicone surfactant on hydrophobic surfaces
TL;DR: Hill et al. as discussed by the authors studied the spreading of aqueous mixtures of six different silicone surfactants on Parafilm, a hydrophobic surface and found that a dispersed surfactant-rich phase is needed for superspreading and that the initial rate of spreading increases with decreasing size of the dispersed phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the Flory lattice model for rigid, impenetrable rods with the experimental ones and concluded that molecular asymmetry alone is sufficient to produce a phase transition from a disordered to an ordered phase.
