Critical self-association of bile lipids studied by infrared spectroscopy and viscometry.
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)-attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy and viscometry were applied to study the micellization of two bile lipids, sodium taurochenodeoxycholate (NaTCDC) and sodium glycocholate (NaGC), in aqueous solutions.

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.

Colloidal stability of tannins: astringency, wine tasting and beyond [PDF]
Tannin-tannin and tannin-protein interactions in water-ethanol solvent mixtures are studied in the context of red wine tasting. While tannin self-aggregation is relevant for visual aspect of wine tasting (limpidity and related colloidal phenomena ...
