Micelle Formation and the Hydrophobic Effect [PDF]
The tendency of amphiphilic molecules to form micelles in aqueous solution is a consequence of the hydrophobic effect. The fundamental difference between micelle assembly and macroscopic phase separation is the stoichiometric constraint that frustrates ...

Protein-Polyelectrolyte Complexes and Micellar Assemblies. [PDF]
In this review, we highlight the recent progress in our understanding of the structure, properties and applications of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes in both bulk and micellar assemblies. Protein-polyelectrolyte complexes form the basis of the genetic

Effective critical micellar concentration of a zwitterionic detergent: A fluorimetric study on n-dodecyl phosphocholine [PDF]
We have investigated the effect of ionic strength on the aggregation behavior of n-dodecyl phosphocholine. On the basis of the classical Corrin-Harkins relation, the critical micellar concentration of this detergent decreases with a biphasic trend on ...

Salinity Effect on the Surfactant Critical Micelle Concentration through Surface Tension Measurement [PDF]
One of the tertiary methods for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the injection of chemicals into oil reservoirs, and surface active agents (surfactants) are among the most used chemicals.

Kinetics of Surfactant Micellization: a Free Energy Approach
We present a new theoretical approach to the kinetics of micelle formation in surfactant solutions, in which the various stages of aggregation are treated as constrained paths on a single free-energy landscape.
