Mixtures of hydrocarbon (CH) and fluorocarbon (CF) surfactants can provide important considerations for both theoretical and applied interest. Their properties have been reviewed. Similar to hydrogenated surfactant mixtures, the ones of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon surfactants can also self-assemble into various aggregates, including mixed micelles and vesicles. However, completely different phase behavior and self-assembly of CH/CF surfactant mixtures can be observed because of the repellence between the two hydrophobic chains. Several advantaged techniques, including SANS, SAXS, F- and H-NMR, cryo-TEM, and Freeze-fracture TEM (FF-TEM) have been widely employed to characterize these systems. ... 

Numerous applications have been proposed and suggested for conducting polymers [397], Electrochemical synthesis will undoubtedly become an advantageous technique for many of these applications. Through electrochemical polymerization, conducting polymers may be directly synthesized onto any conducting substrate or form coatings for sensor materials or electrodes. 

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations on the clay-water interface system have been studied by many researchers worldwide since the mid 1990s. The use of MC for clay-water simulation was popular because the stochastic Metropolis algorithm has been used successfully for many other liquid-state physical chemistry (63). This method has strong advantages in sampling conformational surface, and this advantageous technique has been used to find the clay-adsorbate-water equilibrium structure.
