Mixed polymer–surfactant systems have been intensively investigated in the last two
decades, with the main focus on surfactant micelles as the surfactant aggregate in …

Mixtures of surfactants can result in formation of various structures like micelles, vesicles and
inverted micelles. Catanionic vesicular systems are preferred on account of their ease of …

Encapsulating biological materials in lipid vesicles is of interest for mimicking cells; however,
except in some particular cases, such processes do not occur spontaneously. Herein, we …

The physicochemical properties, such as critical micelle concentration (cmc), surface tension
at cmc (γcmc), and surface activity parameters of the mixtures of a new amino acid-based …

The growing demand for surfactants worldwide has a profound impact on the environment
and public health. The quest for environmentally friendly “green” surfactants has driven …

The present work aims to study the interactions of cationic surface active ionic liquids
(SAILs), 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride,([C n mim][Cl], where n= 8, 10 and 12) with …

Structural diversity induced by the chain-length effect in the field of two-dimensional
molecular self-assembly has attracted lots of attention. In this study, the self-assembly …

Hydrated dispersions containing equimolar mixtures of cationic and anionic amphiphiles,
referred to as catanionic systems, exhibit synergistic physicochemical properties, and mixing …

Two rod-shaped macroanions,((C4H9) 4N) 7 [Mo6O18NC (OCH2) 3XMo6O18 (OCH2)
3CNMo6O18](X= MnIII (1), FeIII (2)), with almost identical charge densities and …

The design of efficient liposomal systems for drug delivery is of considerable biomedical
interest. In this context, vesicles prepared from cationic/anionic surfactants may offer several …
