Microstructure evolution in aqueous solutions of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and phenol derivatives
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of phenolic organic organic dopants (phenol, cresol, 4-ethyl phenol and 4-n-and i-butyl phenol) were added to a micellar solution of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM).

TL;DR: Micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), when doped with increasing levels of 4-ethylphenol, show microstructural transitions from spherical micells to elongated wormlike micelles, disks, and subsequently to globular and then to tubular vesicles.

Transition from unilamellar to bilamellar vesicles induced by an amphiphilic biopolymer.
TL;DR: Some unusual structural transitions upon the addition of an amphiphilic biopolymer to unilamellar surfactant vesicles are reported and a mechanism for the polymer-induced transitions in vesicle morphology is proposed.
Small Angle Neutron Scattering Study of Mixed AOT + Lecithin Reverse Micelles
TL;DR: In this paper, the structures formed in a four-component water-in-oil microemulsion consisting of deuterated water added to sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate and phosphatidycholine (lecithin) in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (isooctane) have been probed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS).
