Effect of ethoxylation and lauryl alcohol on the self-assembly of sodium laurylsulfate: Significant structural and rheological transformation

Investigating the effect of a simplified perfume accord and dilution on the formation of mixed-surfactant microemulsions

“…Surfactants are broadly shown to self-assemble into (a) discrete entities such as spheres, prolate ellipsoids, cylinders [11][12][13] or (b) continuous geometries wherein they are connected through macroscopic distances into hexagonal (1D), 14,15 lamellar (2D) [16][17][18] or bicontinuous/sponge phase (3D). [19][20][21] These three dimensional structures, also referred to as liquid crystalline structures, provide high viscosity and uidity to surfactants.…”

“…and resulting in skin disease; increased in sensitisation reaction in seborrheic dermatitis patients; and may lead to the development of benign, premalignant, or malignant tumour, morphological change of epithelium cells, organ toxicity (predominantly heart, liver, lungs, and brain), ophthalmic irritation, cataract formation, carcinogenic effect, and hair loss upon long term exposure.
