Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies - Micelles, Microemulsions, Vesicles and Lyotropic Phases

Informationen zum Autor Raoul Zana Klappentext In order to interpret the experimental results obtained in surfactant science! researchers must have a good understanding of the dynamics of self-assemblies that surfactants and amphiphilic block copolymers can form. This text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the dynamic aspects of these self-assemblies! the techniques used to study their behavior! and the topics for which this knowledge is important. The authors present a concise review of the large body of literature that exists on the topic of surfactant self-assemblies and a unified view of the dynamics of these systems! providing researchers with a useful guide for the systems that they wish to investigate. Zusammenfassung Presents a review of the topic of surfactant self-assemblies and a view of the dynamics of these systems.
