Mixtures of surfactants can result in formation of various structures like micelles, vesicles and
inverted micelles. Catanionic vesicular systems are preferred on account of their ease of …

Hydrogels are physically or chemically cross-linked polymers with the ability to absorb large
amounts of water without dissolving. Elasticity, smartness, and high water sorption capacity …

A stable oil-in-water Pickering emulsion stabilized by negatively charged silica
nanoparticles hydrophobized in situ with a trace amount of a conventional cationic surfactant …

Background Woody tropical plants contain high levels of complex organic compounds that
inhibit the chemical procedures needed to extract RNA or DNA, thus compromising …

Surfactant based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is an interesting area of research for several
petroleum researchers. In the present work, individual and mixed systems of anionic and …

Test results indicate that a lipophilic surfactant can be designed by mixing both hydrophilic
anionic and cationic surfactants, which broaden the design of novel surfactant methodology …

Mixed cationic/anionic surfactants are generating increasing attention as effective collectors
during the flotation of muscovite, feldspar and spodumene ores. Many papers have been …

Physical gels with remarkable properties were obtained by copolymerization of acrylamide
with the hydrophobic monomer stearyl methacrylate (C18) in a micellar solution of …

The structure of a self-assembly formed from a cationic azobenzene derivative, 4-
