We review theories and experiments on the effects of shear in fluids undergoing phase
transitions. We put emphasis on near-critical fluids and polymer solutions as representative …

Since its discovery more than 60 years ago, the drag reduction phenomenon has achieved
many notable energy saving effects. These achievements have encouraged researchers to …

The molecular constitution of viscoelastic gels is customarily described in terms of networks,
which may have a transient or permanent character. Such supermolecular structures are …

From simple micelles in water, nearly spherical aggregates of amphiphilic molecules, to
bicontinuous microemulsions, oil and water microheterogeneous mixtures stabilised by a …

[Sal'], CTAC solutions form globular (spherical) micelles (5 nm in diameter) and behave as
Newtonian fluids. With increasing [Sal'], these solutions form threadlike or wormlike micelles …

Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies explains the dynamics of micellar equilibria,
tracking surfactant exchange, and micelle formation/breakdown processes. Highlighting the …

Shear thickening of low-concentration solutions of wormlike micelles is investigated using
simultaneous rheological and visualization measurements. Shear-induced structures (SISs) …

The behaviour of two types of drag reducing surfactant solutions was studied in turbulent
flows in pipes of different diameters. Our surfactant systems contained rod-like micelles; they …

In this work, the linear viscoelastic properties of the cetyltrimethylammonium tosilate
(CTAT)− water system are examined in detail. This system forms elongated micelles at low …

A cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB, forms long and stable
threadlike or wormlike micelles in aqueous solution with sodium salicylate, NaSal. This …
