Large hydrophobic monomers stearyl methacrylate (C18) and dococyl acrylate (C22) could
be copolymerized with the hydrophilic monomer acrylamide in a micellar solution of sodium …

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 …

Polyacrylamide hydrogels formed via hydrophobic interactions between stearyl groups in
aqueous micellar solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) present two faces depending on …

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 …

The use of a surfactant mixture of natural and synthetic surfactants as additives in stabilizing
coal-water slurry (CWS) formed from low rank Indian coals has been explored. The surface …

Understanding the nanoscale structure and dynamics of supramolecular hydrogels is
essential for exploiting their self-healing mechanisms. We describe here nanostructural …

In this article, we investigate the effect of hydrocarbon addition on the rheological properties
and structure of wormlike micellar solutions of potassium oleate. We show that a viscoelastic …

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

Wormlike surfactant micelles are widely used in various applications including fracturing
technology in oil industry, template synthesis of different nanoobjects, micellar …

In this work, a bifunctional model was developed to fit and predict the phase inversion point
(PIP) of microemulsions containing polar oils. This model incorporated the hydrophilic …
