Amphiphiles are synthetic or natural molecules with the ability to self‐assemble into a wide
variety of structures including micelles, vesicles, nanotubes, nanofibers, and lamellae. Self …

Dimeric and oligomeric surfactants are novel surfactants that are presently attracting
considerable interest in the academic and industrial communities working on surfactants …

Dimeric (gemini) surfactants are made up of two amphiphilic moieties connected at the level
of, or very close to, the head groups by a spacer group of varying nature: hydrophilic or …

The first reports on gemini surfactants concerned bisquaternary ammonium halide
surfactants. Their biological activity in aqueous solution was studied [13, 16, 17], and …

Abstract Specific conductance of (0.3 to 3.0) mmol· kg− 1 sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate
(SDBS) and (3.0 to 30.0) mmol· kg− 1 dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) has been …

Quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), as the surface active compounds, are widely used in
medicine and industry. Their common application is responsible for the development of …

The properties of anionic-rich and cationic-rich mixtures of CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium
bromide) and SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) were investigated with conductometry and …

This paper reports our recent investigations in the synthesis, characterization, and solution
self-assembly of giant gemini surfactants consisting of two hydrophilic carboxylic acid …

Abstract Hypothesis Wormlike micelles (WLMs) formed due to the self-assembly of
amphiphiles in aqueous solution have similar viscoelastic properties as polymers. Owing to …

Three series of new oligomeric cationic surfactants were synthesized. These amphiphiles
are trimeric and tetrameric oligomeric quaternary ammonium chlorides, with spacer groups …
