Analytical modeling of micelle growth. 4. Molecular thermodynamics of wormlike micelles from ionic surfactants: theory vs. experiment
K. D. Danov, P. A. Kralchevsky, R. D. Stanimirova +3
Hypotheses: The aggregation number and length of spherocylindrical (rodlike, wormlike) micelles in solutions of an ionic surfactant and salt can be predicted knowing the molecular…
Encapsulation of fragrances and oils by core-shell structures from silica nanoparticles, surfactant and polymer: Effect of particle size
T. G. Slavova, G. M. Radulova, P. A. Kralchevsky +1
Oils and fragrances can be encapsulated by using composite shells of silica nanoparticles, polymer and surfactant (potassium oleate). The template for the creation of the core-shel…
Phase separation of saturated micellar network and its potential applications for nanoemulsification
M. T. Georgiev, L. A. Aleksova, P. A. Kralchevsky +1
Phase separation of saturated micellar network, as a result of cross-linking of branched micelles is established in mixed solutions of the anionic surfactant sodium laurylethersulf…
Analytical modeling of micelle growth. 3. Electrostatic free energy of ionic wormlike micelles -- effects of activity coefficients and spatially confined electric double layers
K. D. Danov, P. A. Kralchevsky, S. D. Stoyanov +2
Hypotheses: To correctly predict the aggregation number and size of wormlike micelles from ionic surfactants, the molecular-thermodynamic theory has to calculate the free energy pe…
Vortex in liquid films from concentrated surfactant solutions containing micelles and colloidal particles
E. S. Basheva, P. A. Kralchevsky, K. D. Danov +3
Hypothesis: New dynamic phenomena can be observed in evaporating free liquid films from colloidal solutions with bimodal particle size distribution. Such distributions are formed i…
Cleaning ability of mixed solutions of sulfonated fatty acid methyl esters
Veronika I. Yavrukova, Dimitar N. Shandurkov, Krastanka G. Marinova +3
Here, we present results from a systematic study on cleaning of oily deposits from solid surfaces (porcelain and stainless steel) by solutions of fatty acid sulfonated methyl ester…
