Non-equilibrium effects of micelle formation as studied by a minimum particle-based model
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 ...

This graphical abstract illustrates the steps carried out in the laboratory study, including saponin modification and characterization, surface tension, interfacial tension, contact angle, adsorption, and surfactant injection tests. Abstract In this study, three forms of saponin surfactants extracted from the Camellia sinensis plant (CS1, CS2, and CS3)

Premicellar aggregation of amphiphilic molecules: Aggregate lifetime and polydispersity
A recently introduced thermodynamic model of amphiphilic molecules in solution has yielded, under certain realistic conditions, a significant presence of metastable aggregates well below the critical micelle concentration -- a phenomenon that has been ...

Applying high gradients during diffusion nuclear magnetic resonance experiments allows for the determination of isolated microenvironments in ternary solutions composed of an imidazolium‐based ionic liquid, water and alkali metal halide. Two separate water populations are detected, forming either the isolated solvent network or the first solvation ...

Interaction of Caffeic Acid with SDS Micellar Aggregates
Micellar systems consisting of a surfactant and an additive such as an organic salt or an acid usually self-organize as a series of worm-like micelles that ultimately form a micellar network.

Abstract The novelty of this study is to present a multilayer framework for predicting the air‐entrained porosity of cement paste based on the molecular characteristics of nonionic surfactants. Air‐entraining agents enhance concrete durability against freeze–thaw damage; however, their development is labor‐intensive and cost‐prohibitive.

Reversed amphiphilic assembly mechanisms of Pluronic® F127 in high‐ethanol content
Temperature‐dependent reversed amphiphilic self‐assembly of F127 in ethanol‐rich condition was investigated. Abstract Pluronic® F127 (Poloxamer 407) is a thermoresponsive triblock copolymer widely used for drug delivery and templating for porous materials, owing to its temperature‐dependent micellization and gelation in aqueous systems.

ABSTRACT Over the past few years, dicationic alkylammonium bromide dimeric surfactants have emerged as promising agents for numerous biotechnology and medical applications. However, there have been few studies examining their behavior within a biological context, particularly regarding the impact physiological buffers have on their physico‐chemical ...

ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between surfactant molecular structure and cleansing performance is essential for the rational design of high‐performance detergents. In this study, we investigate the effect of propylene oxide (PO) chain length on the detergency of nonionic surfactants through a combination of experimental measurements and ...
