Dispersing individual single-wall carbon nanotubes in aqueous surfactant solutions below the cmc
Panagiotis Angelikopoulos,Andrei Gromov,Ailsa Leen,Oleg Nerushev,Henry Bock,Eleanor E. B. Campbell +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersions of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in surfactant solutions below the critical micelle concentration (cmc) have been studied theoretically and experimentally.
The science of dispersing carbon nanotubes with surfactants
TL;DR: This work combines the results from mesoscale and atomistic simulations to develop an understanding of the underlying structure-function relationship of the adsorbed surfactant layer, and derive a number of recommendations for optimal dispersion design.

Directed self-assembly of surfactants in carbon nanotube materials.
TL;DR: The results allow two conclusions for the rational design of nanostructured materials: (i) the size of the central aggregate can not be much larger than that of a bulk micelle and (ii) control of the adsorbed structures is conveniently possible via the (bulk) surfactant concentration.

Cosurfactant and cosolvent effects on surfactant self-assembly in supercritical carbon dioxide.
TL;DR: The impact of alcohol additives on the self-assembly of surfactants in supercritical carbon dioxide is investigated using lattice Monte Carlo simulations, observing that all studied (model) alcohols reduce the critical micelle concentration and short-chain alcohols act as cosurfactants, directly influencing the properties of the aggregates.

Mesoscale modeling of complex binary fluid mixtures: towards an atomistic foundation of effective potentials.
Jörg R. Silbermann,Sabine H. L. Klapp,Martin Schoen,Naresh Chennamsetty,Henry Bock,Keith E. Gubbins +5 more
TL;DR: This paper investigates ways to extract from equilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations of a fully atomistic model of binary mixtures of water and ethanol effective, pairwise additive potentials suitable to describe the interactions between coarse-grained molecules in corresponding mesoscale dissipative particle-dynamic simulations.
