Self‐assembly and solution behavior of cationic surfactants in water‐trifluoroethanol environment: An experimental and theoretical approach
Shailesh Padsala,Girase Mayursing,Debes Ray,Vinod K. Aswal,Ketan Kuperkar,Pratap Bahadur +5 more
TL;DR: The micellization behavior of cationic surfactants in water-TFE mixtures is influenced by the presence of TFE, leading to decreased CMC and smaller micelle size.
Magneto-optically induced retardation and relaxation study in a mixed system of magnetic fluid and cationic micelles
TL;DR: In this article, the structural integrity between nanomagnetic particles of magnetic fluids and soft micelles is investigated using the magneto-optical techniques like magnetic birefringence, transmission and relaxation measurements.
Silk Fibroin-Sophorolipid Gelation: Deciphering the Underlying Mechanism.
Parul Dubey,Sugam Kumar,Vinod K. Aswal,Sapna Ravindranathan,Pattuparambil R. Rajamohanan,Asmita Prabhune,Anuya Nisal +6 more
TL;DR: A mechanism for gelation of SF in the presence of different sophorolipids is proposed and it is shown that preferential binding of LSL to SF causes rapid unfolding of the SF chain leading to the formation of intermolecular beta sheets, which trigger fast gelation.
Unveiling the microstructures of micelles from polyoxyethylene alkyl ether-based multi-responsive nonionic amphiphile
TL;DR: In this article, the self-assembly of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether carboxylic acid based nonionic amphiphile known as Akypo® RO90 VG (hereafter written as akypo) in aqueous medium using cloud point (CP), solution viscosity, dynamic light scattering (DLS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements.
Pluronic®-bile salt mixed micelles.
TL;DR: Examination of the interaction of two bile salts viz. sodium cholate and sodium deoxycholate with three ethylene polyoxide-polypropylenepolyoxide (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymers with similar PPO but varying PEO micelles with a focus on the effect of pH on mixed mouselles revealed that P123 forms small spherical micells showing a decrease in size on progressive addition of bile salt.
