Almost thirty years ago the author began his studies in colloid chemistry at the laboratory of
Professor Ryohei Matuura of Kyushu University. His graduate thesis was on the elimination …

Prologue Micelles have been the subject of over 2800 publi-cations since1970. Of these,
1938 are in English, 428 in Russian, 161 in Japanese, 123 in German, and 79 in French. 1 …

Molecules which possess both hydrophilic and hydrophobic structures may associate in
aqueous media to form dynamic aggregates commonly called micelles. Interest in these …

This volume and its companion Volume 1 chronicle the proceed ings of the International
Symposium on Micellization, Solubiliza tion, and tficroemulsions held under the auspices of …

During the last decade there has been a renewed interest in research on supramolecular
assemblies in solutions, such as micelles and microemulsions, not only because of their …

Molecules or ions which are amphiphilic, ie contain at the same time a hydrophilic and a
hydrophobic (normally an alkyl chain) part frequently display in aqueous solutions a …

A molecular theory for the formation of mixed micelles is developed here as an extension of
our earlier theory for single-component micelles. The theory permits the calculation of the …

Simple geometrical considerations indicate (as previously noted in 1955 by Tartar) that most
of the common small soluble micelles must be ellipsoidal rather than spherical in shape. It is …

The many remarkable physico-chemical properties of aqueous surfactant systems, as well
as their numerous practical applications, can be referred to the tendency of the nonpolar …

Conclusion Surface preparation of Ti02 and treatmentof the sample following Pt contact
formation has been shown to be highly important in the fabrication and properties of Pt/Ti02 …
