Dehydration reactions in water have been realized by a surfactant-type catalyst,
dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA). These reactions include dehydrative esterification …

In selective solvents the solvophobic blocks of block copolymers associate leading to the
formation of aggregates. If exchange of polymer chains between aggregates is rapid the …

An all-atom 5 nanosecond molecular dynamics simulation of a water-solvated micelle
containing 60 sodium dodecyl sulfate monomers was performed. Structural properties such …

The compound C60 was successively predicted, 1, 2 revealed, 3 and prepared in
macroscopic quantities 4 within a 20 year period from 1970 to 1990. This molecule repeats …

Block copolymer vesicles can be prepared in solution from a variety of different amphiphilic
systems. Polystyrene‐block‐poly (acrylic acid), polystyrene‐block‐poly (ethylene oxide) …

Over the past decade, ionic liquids (ILs) have become one of the fastest growing “green”
media for chemists and engineers due to their superb physicochemical properties. The …

When detergents and phospholipid membranes are dispersed in aqueous solutions, they
tend to self-assemble into vesicles of various shapes and sizes by virtue of their hydrophobic …

Thoroughly revised, with either entirely new or completely updated contents, this is a
practical manual for the small and large-scale preparation of enantiomerically pure products …

Self-assembly in mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants occurs synergistically because
of attractive interactions between the oppositely charged headgroups. Here, such effects are …

Since the publication of the first edition of Interfacial Phenomena, the interest in interfaces
and surfactants has multiplied, along with their applications. Experimental and theoretical …
