Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies - 9780367393120

CRC Press

In order to interpret the experimental results obtained in surfactant science, researchers must have a good understanding of the dynamics of self-assemblies that surfactants and amphiphilic block copolymers can form. This text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the dynamic aspects of these self-assemblies, the techniques used to study their behavior, and the topics for which this knowledge is important. The authors present a concise review of the large body of literature that exists on the topic of surfactant self-assemblies and a unified view of the dynamics of these systems, providing researchers with a useful guide for the systems that they wish to investigate. > Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies explains the dynamics of micellar equilibria, tracking surfactant exchange, and micelle formation/breakdown processes. Highlighting the structural similarities of amphiphilic block copolymers to surfactants, this volume elucidates the dynamics of more complex self-a.
