Micellization of Sliding Polymer Surfactants [PDF]
Following up a recent paper on grafted sliding polymer layers (Macromolecules 2005, 38, 1434-1441), we investigated the influence of the sliding degree of freedom on the self-assembly of sliding polymeric surfactants that can be obtained by complexation of polymers with cyclodextrins. In contrast to the micelles of quenched block copolymer surfactants,

Effect of gabapentin on solution surface properties and micellization behavior of betaine-based surfactant ionic liquids [PDF]
This study investigates the surface properties, micellization, and electrical conductivity of betaine-based ionic liquids (ILs) composed of [R-bet][Br] where R represents the C4, C6 and C8 (specifically [C4bet][Br], [C6bet][Br], and [C8bet][Br]) in ...

Micellization: A new principle in the formation of biomolecular condensates
Phase separation is a fundamental mechanism for compartmentalization in cells and leads to the formation of biomolecular condensates, generally containing various RNA molecules.

Micellization in the presence of polyelectrolyte [PDF]
We present a simple model to study micellization of amphiphiles condensed on a rodlike polyion. Although the mean field theory leads to a first order micellization transition for sufficiently strong hydrophobic interactions, the simulations show that no ...

Thermodynamics of micellization of oppositely charged polymers [PDF]
The complexation of oppositely charged colloidal objects is considered in this paper as a thermodynamic micellization process where each kind of object needs the others to micellize. This requirement gives rise to quantitatively different behaviors than the so-called mixed-micellization where each specie can micellize separately.

The effect of various media (aqueous, NaCl, urea (U) and thiourea (TU)) on the micellization and adsorption activity of varied mixtures of imipramine hydrochloride (IMP) and benzethonium chloride (BZCl) is investigated via tensiometry.

Characterization of biosurfactants’ micelles formation using fluorescence measurements: sodium taurocholate as case of study [PDF]
Background and purpose: The evaluation of micellization parameters of surfactants that aggregate gradually, such as bile salts, is not trivial. In this work, different probes and data treatment models are tested to set up an analytical method based on ...

Analytical modeling of micelle growth. 2. Molecular thermodynamics of mixed aggregates and scission energy in wormlike micelles [PDF]
Hypotheses: Quantitative molecular-thermodynamic theory of the growth of giant wormlike micelles in mixed nonionic surfactant solutions can be developed on the basis of a generalized model, which includes the classical phase separation and mass action models as special cases.

Kinetics of membrane micellization by the hydrophobic polyelectrolyte poly( 2-ethylacrylic acid) [PDF]
Rates of pH-dependent micellization of multilamellar vesicles by the hydrophobic polyelectrolyte poly(2-ethylacrylic acid) (PEAA) have been measured turbidometrically.

Non-equilibrium effects of micelle formation as studied by a minimum particle-based model [PDF]
The formation of self assembled structures such as micelles has been intensively studied and is well understood. The ability of a solution of amphiphilic molecules to develop micelles is depending on the concentration and characterized by the critical micelle concentration (cmc), above which micelle formation does occur.
