Classic L-alpha phases as opposed to vesicle phases in cationic-anionic surfactant mixtures

Article Abstract:

It has been shown that vesicles in aqueous cationic-anionic surfactant mixtures not not form spontaneously. These vesicles may be produced by shear forces that are the result of the mixing of the components.

Vesicle gel formed by a self-organization process

Article Abstract:

Self-organization process of gel formation has been investigated with respect to both the macroscopic and the microscopic changes. The results suggest a strong driving force in this system for self-organization that transforms the disordered micellar state first into vesicle system with formation of surfactant bilayers of the cosurfactant octanol.

In situ vesicle formation by a kinetic reaction in aqueous mixtures of single-tailed catanionic surfactants

Article Abstract:

The extremely dilute kinetically produced catanionic single-tailed surfactant system in situ is examined with the help of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), electronspin resonance (ESR) and dynamic laser light scattering (DLLS) techniques. The spontaneous formation of vesicles in extremely dilute catanionic surfactant systems is discussed.
