Controlling viscosity of aqueous surfactant solutions is very important for practical
formulations. This can be done by having polymers interact with surfactants, thereby forming …

Viscoelastic surfactants (VES) are amphiphilic molecules which self-assemble into long
polymer-like aggregates—wormlike micelles. Such micellar chains form an entangled …

Aqueous dispersions of microporous nanocrystals with dry, gas-accessible pores─ referred
to as “microporous water”─ enable high densities of gas molecules to be transported …

Soft viscoelastic nanocomposites based on entangled linear wormlike micelles of cationic
surfactant erucyl bis (hydroxyethyl) methylammonium chloride and aluminosilicate clay …

A combination of viscoelastic surfactants with nanoparticles gives a new class of functional
self-assembled materials promising for a large variety of applications. Nanoparticles …

A new viscoelastic surfactant system based on a mixture of cationic (n-dodecylpyridinium
chloride) and anionic (potassium oleate) surfactants was prepared. The effect of the …

Cellulose ethers are naturally derived ingredients that are commonly used in personal care
products as rheology modifiers, film formers, stabilizers, and sensorial agents. In this work …

We report on the effect of a hydrocarbon (n-dodecane) on the rheological properties and
shapes of the hybrid wormlike micelles (WLMs) of a surfactant potassium oleate with an …

Stable viscoelastic suspensions of bentonite clay particles in semi-dilute solutions of
wormlike micelles of mixed zwitterionic (oleyl amidopropyl dimethyl carboxybetaine) and …

Modern concepts regarding wormlike micelles of surfactants as polymer-like objects that
undergo reversible scission and recombination in solution are presented in the current …
