Abstract:Among all the weak interactions, which are operative in the domain of chemistry, hydrophobic effect is one that leads to new structural motifs like molecular self-assemblies viz., micelles, vesicles etc. Worm-like micelles are polymer like aggregates which have been formed in aqueous surfactant solutions in the presence of additives. These are relatively new materials with exciting material properties. These stimuli-responsive viscoelastic materials are interesting from both fundamental understanding as well a… Show more
