A Review of Recent Studies on Aqueous Binary Mixed Surfactant Systems

Monte Carlo simulation and theoretical approach to mixed surfactant system consisting gemini and conventional surfactants in aqueous solutions

“…Meanwhile, the gemini and conventional surfactant mixtures have received so much attentions because of their unique physicochemical properties that are superior to those of individual components [12,13]. In some cases, gemini-conventional surfactants interact in such a fashion that the CMC of the mixture is the intermediate in value among those of the CMC of its pure constituents.…”

Dynamic and static radiation scattering in a microemulsion as a function of dispersed phase concentration

“…Among these non-ionic surfactants, polyethoxylated alkyl ones (C n E m , where n is the number of carbons of the hydrophobic and saturated linear chain, and m is the number of ethoxy groups in the polar head) [12] are one of the most useful surface-active substances, attracting the interest of the scientific community, due to their remarkable and unique properties [13][14][15]. In the oil industry, they have been used in metalworking fluids [16], drilling fluid formulations [17] as well as systems with biocide activity [18].…”

Thermodynamics of mixed micelles: Determination of the aggregate composition

“…To resolve this issue, most of the studies suppose a priori that the behavior of the pseudo-phase follows the regular solution theory (RST) [9]. The aggregate composition is then determined by the procedure suggested by Holland and Rubingh [10].…”
