Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride( DTAC) (Figure1), representingc lassical exampleso fa nionic and cationic surfactants, respectively,h ave been the target of awide range of experimental techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), [1,2] electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), [3][4][5][6] fluorescence, [7] X-ray [8] and neutron scattering, [9] as well as theoretical studies [10][11][12][13][14] in order to shed light on their structure and dynamics.
