Study on the viscosity of cationic gemini surfactant–nonionic polymer complex in water

Gold Nanorods: Controlling Their Surface Chemistry and Complete Detoxification by a Two‐Step Place Exchange

“…[18,25] Furthermore, 1 H NMR spectroscopy indicated that a small quantity of CTAB remained (see the Supporting Information)-most likely interchelated into the PEG brush because of the known interactions of PEG with surfactants. [26] We have also applied this method successfully to PEG with functionalized end groups, which can undergo conjugation chemistry to attach desired tags, proteins, or targeting ligands while avoiding any unintended adverse biological effects from CTAB.…”

Cleavage of phosphate diesters mediated by Zn(II) complex in Gemini surfactant micelles

“…The critical micellization concentration of a Gemini surfactant is generally much lower than that of a normal surfactant of equivalent tail length due to the hydrophobic contribution from the spacer, which results in a lower water solubility and hence a greater tendency to self-assemble [47]. At the same time, Gemini surfactants show a larger solubilization capacity than conventional surfactants because of the essential structure of Gemini surfactant micelles [48,49].…”

Structural Behavior of Aggregate Assemblies of Cationic Surfactants and Their Mixtures with Triblock Polymers

“…[1][2][3] Mixed systems of cationic surfactants and triblock polymers are widely used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries due to their antibiotic activity. [4][5][6][7] These are also used in food industry, synthesis of nanoparticles, as catalysts, as surfactant-supramolecular assemblies and as drag reducing agents. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] These applications put emphasis on the study of the structural aspects of surfactant-triblock polymer mixtures.…”
