SANS investigation of the microstructures in catanionic mixtures of SDS/DTAC and the effect of various added salts

Effect of surfactant head group on micellization and morphological transitions in drug-Surfactant catanionic mixture: A multi-technique approach

“…In equations (2) and (3) region followed by decrease in magnitude when concentration exceeds equimolarity which can be attributed to the steric hindrance offered by more TC molecules as earlier reported in many catanionic mixtures [36][37][38][39][40]. But at αTC = 0.9 in case of TC + SDBS, the highest β m value were found to be present when which might be due to the reason that more TC molecules orient the bulkier headgroups of SDBS molecules in such a array that they release the TC molecules and reduces repulsive interactions there.…”

Investigating the spontaneous formation of SDS micelle in aqueous solution using a coarse-grained force field

“…The measurements were performed in aqueous solution with small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments [42][43][44][45][46][47] and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). 42,47,48 As have been discussed, better experimental characterizations are obtained using both techniques.…”

“…42,47,48 As have been discussed, better experimental characterizations are obtained using both techniques. [42][43][44][45][46][47] The SANS is used to study the hydrophobic region and the SAXS to analyze the head group thickness and the counter ion condensation region. This procedure gives much more reliable information about the micellar structure.…”

“…As have been discussed before different micellar sizes were reported by averaging aggregates with different number of monomers. [42][43][44][45][46][47][48] Therefore, regarding the micellar radius, sound conclusions can be obtained if the size distribution is taken into account. The histogram of the number of aggregates in Figure 1S, supplementary material, shows a polydisperse system with various overlap populations, it is not correct to speak of an average when there are several distinct populations to be evaluated.…”
