Thermotropic liquid crystals (TLCs) are a series of soft materials with ordered arrangements
of repeating structural units in a certain range of temperature. Specifically, the TLCs …

Over the past two decades, catanionic vesicles fabricated from mixtures of oppositely
charged surfactants have attracted substantial attention because of their potential …

Rhamnolipids represent a promising class of biosurfactants, whose industrial exploitation
could potentially reduce the ecological impact of surfactant-based formulations. In this …

Stimuli-sensitive self-assembled nanostructures are of great relevance for the templating of
nanomaterials and the design of efficient systems for the controlled delivery of molecules …

In this work, we review shortly the current state of knowledge about catanionic surfactant
systems with a focus on the detailed understanding based on the molecular buildup of such …

Hypothesis Some low molecular weight additives can strongly influence the phase behavior
of aqueous surfactant systems, and this offers an important handle to control the properties …

Mixtures of anionic and cationic surfactants display varied aggregate structures. Solid
catanionic systems and metaloamphiphilic complexes, amphiphilic host–guest systems, as …

In this study, cationic dicetyldimethylammonium bromide (DCB) and anionic dicetyl
phosphate (DCP) were mixed to form catanionic assemblies in water, and their colloidal …

In this work we designed a controlled-release drug delivery system formed by a cationic
drug (diphenhydramine hydrochloride, DH) and an anionic surfactant (sodium 2-ethylhexyl …

The abilities of a series of catanionic surfactants (catanionics) to emulsify paraffin oil/water
(PO/H 2 O) mixtures have been investigated. It was found that catanionics with head-to-tail …
