Mixed micelles with "green" surfactants
This proposal aims to explore aqueous phase structures and compositions of a series of mixed surfactants. Although standard surfactant mixtures have been extensively studied... -
A structural evolution: hydrotrope-alkyl hydrotrope-surfactant
The aim of the proposal is to improve understanding about combinations of normal surfactants and hydrotropes. The systems of study are reference oil-water interfaces, provided... -
Surfactant aggregation in magnetic ionic liquids
This proposal aims to explore aggregation behavior of common surfactants in magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) and to investigate the effect of a magnetic field on aggregate size,... -
Microemulsions stabilized by magnetic surfactants
Surfactant systems responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known. Our new work has shown for the first time, magneto-responsive surfactants (also being ionic liquids... -
Worm-like reversed micelles with a CO2-philic surfactant
Hydrotropes (Figure 3 A-C) are known viscosifying agents with surfactants in organic solvents1 and interestingly now in supercritical CO2 (scCO2)5. The mechanism is...
