Gemini surfactants mixed micellization

This much stronger interaction of geminis with other surfactants in mixed monolayers than in mixed micelles means that there is a strong possibility of...

Mixed amphiphiles systems. Mixed micelles has been a field of extensive research in last decades. Some interesting articles have been recently published focused on the behavior of surfactant aqueous mixtures containing peculiar components, e.g., bile salts, gemini or polymeric surfactants. 

The next section discusses chemical structures, synthesis, and purification of gemini surfactants. Section III reviews the behavior of gemini surfactants in solutions below the CMC. Section IV deals with their behavior at interfaces. The fifth section reviews micelle formation and solubilization. Section VI deals with micelle properties. Microstructure of aqueous solution of gemini surfactants, rheology of these solutions, and mixed micellization are considered in the following three sections. Section X deals with the phase behavior of... 

The chapter is organized as follows. Section II briefly recalls the theoretical aspects of micellar dynamics and the expressions of the relaxation times characterizing the main relaxation processes (surfactant exchange, micelle formation/breakdown). Section III reviews studies of micellar kinetics of various types of surfactants conventional surfactants with a hydrocarbon chain, surfactants with a fluorinated chain, and gemini (dimeric) surfactants. Section IV deals with mixed micellar solutions. Section V considers the d5mamics of solubilized systems. Section VI reviews the dynamics of sur-...
