The kinetics and mechanism of micelle-vesicle transitions in aqueous solution
Bi-chained surfactants, e.g. sodium dialkylbenzenesulphonates, can spontaneously form vesicles when salts (e.g. NaCl) are added to water. Critical vesicle concentrations can be readily determined. The kinetics and mechanism for the breakdown and formation of vesicles will be discussed. A mechanism f...
