This chapter reviews the different association structures which are likely to be formed by
amphiphilic lipids in the liquid-crystalline state and their corresponding shear flow …

Several samples of a ternary nonionic surfactant/toluene/water system at six compositions
were characterized on the basis of their rheological and phase behaviors at 25° C. Different …

The aim of this work was to carry out a rheological study of aqueous systems containing a
nonionic surfactant derived from sugar. The compositions studied ranged from the micellar …

We have investigated the rheological properties of lamellar liquid crystal formed by nonionic
surfactants at low and high surfactant concentrations with a small amount of octyl glucoside …

Lamellar liquid crystals of the nonionic surfactant dodecyl polyoxyethylene (4)
polyoxypropylene (5) ether (DEP) were investigated by means of phase diagram and …

Structural changes caused by polymer additives in lamellar liquid-crystalline systems have
been studied by polarized microscopy and oscillatory rheology. Four ethoxylated fatty acid …

In the present work, change of rod-like micelle sizes with change of amphiphile
concentration in hexagonal mesophase and the effect of inorganic salt additions on the …

This paper deals with the flow behaviour of aqueous systems of a sucrose oleate with a high
hydrophilic—lipophilic balance (HLB, 15). Influences of temperature (10–45° C) and …

In this paper we present a review of twenty years of research on cholesteric liquid crystals at
the Chemistry Institute of the University of São Paulo. The results on the interaction forces …

The American Society of Rheology (founded in 1929) defined “rheology” as the science of
deformation and flow of matter. Deformation describes the change of matter in terms of …
