Vinod Kumar,Geetha M Sai,Rajni Verma,Katie R. Mitchell-Koch,Debes Ray,Vinod K. Aswal,Prachi Thareja,Ketan Kuperkar,Pratap Bahadur +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized the micellization and morphology transition induced in aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) solution by the addition of the antioxidant propyl gallate (PG) using tensiometry, rheology, and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques combined with the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation approach.

Micellization and clouding singularity amid the mixture of EO-PO-based star-block copolymer and cationic surfactants in aqueous solution
TL;DR: In this paper, a micellization study on mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) (PEO-PPO) star-block copolymer, Tetronics®1304 (T1304) with several cationic conventional and Gemini surfactants (GS) using plethora of physicochemical techniques viz. cloud point (CP), tensiometry, fluorescence, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and small angle neutron scattering (SANS).

Contrasting effect of 1-butanol and 1,4-butanediol on the triggered micellar self-assemblies of C16-type cationic surfactants.
Vinod Kumar,Rajni Verma,Dwarkesh Satodia,Debes Ray,Ketan Kuperkar,Vinod K. Aswal,Katie R. Mitchell-Koch,Pratap Bahadur +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the selfassembly in aqueous solutions of three quaternary salt-based C16-type cationic surfactants with different polar head groups and identical carbon alkyl chain was investigated using tensiometry, 2D-nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (2D-NOESY) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental stretch 550 m length and width 7 m was considered for structural evaluating the pavement using light weight deflectometer (LWD) and BBD for low volume roads.

A comprehensive insight on H-type aggregation in Congo red-surfactant systems revealed through spectroscopic and electrochemical study unified with a simulation framework
TL;DR: The spectral results for CR showed a hypsochromic shift below the CMC for both the surfactants, which indicates the resultant CR-surfactant complexation through ion-pair formation, which further inferred H-aggregation of CR in the pre-micellar region, and Job's method is employed to determine the stoichiometric ratio between CR and the individual surfactant.
