Transition from vesicles to small nanometer scaled vesicles, arising from the manipulation of curvature in dialkyl chain cationic/nonionic surfactant mixed aggregates by the addition of straight chain alkanols.

The addition of straight chain alkanols to the dialkyl chain cationic/nonionic surfactant mixtures of dihexadecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide, DHDAB, and dodecaethylene monododecyl ether, C(12)E(12), has been used to manipulate the mean curvature of the self-assembled aggregates. This induces some sig...
