The 20 standard amino acids (together with a few more that are not used in the biosynthesis
of proteins) constitute a versatile tool box for synthesis of surfactants. Anionic, cationic and …

Gemini surfactants are constructed by two hydrophobic chains and two polar/ionic head
groups covalently connected by a spacer group at the level of the head groups. Gemini …

The first reports on gemini surfactants concerned bisquaternary ammonium halide
surfactants. Their biological activity in aqueous solution was studied [13, 16, 17], and …

In this article, we present a holistic approach to predict the interfacial activity of
surfactant/polymer/nanoparticle stabilized Pickering nanoemulsions. Dynamic interfacial …

Gemini surfactant is the family of surfactant molecules possessing more than one
hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head group. These surfactants usually have better surface …

Micelles are prevalent in naturally occurring and biological catalytic reactions. However, it is
only in recent decades that scientists have developed kinetic models clarifying how micelle …

Two cationic gemini surfactants having ester bonds between the hydrophobic tail and the
cationic moiety have been synthesized. The ester bonds were either with the ester carbonyl …

Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense-experience to a logically
unified system of thought. A sound theoretical basis and a rational physicochemical …

A gemini surfactant is an amphiphile possessing (in sequence) the following: hydrocarbon
tail/polar group/spacer/polar group/hydrocarbon tail. Widespread interest in geminis has …

Time-resolved fluorescence quenching (TRFQ) and electron paramagnetic resonance
(EPR) were employed to characterize micelles of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and …
