Synthesis of copper nanowires via a complex-surfactant-assisted hydrothermal reduction process
Article Abstract:
A simple complex-surfactant-assisted hydrothermal reduction process was developed to synthesize copper nanowires with average diameters of ~85 nm and lengths of several tens of micrometers. Results reveal that the surfactant sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) played a significant role on the copper nanowires growth and the concentrations of NAOH, and glycerol also had significant effects in finding the morphology of the final product.

Influence of hydrocarbon surfactant on the aggregation behavior of silicone surfactant: Observation of intermediate structures in the vesicle-micelle transition
Article Abstract:
The intermediate structures of the aggregates in the aqueous solution of an ABA-type silicone surfactant and in the process of an SDS-induced vesicle-micelle transition are described. The electrical conductivity measurements have shown that complex micelles of SDS and silicone surfactant were formed in the solution due to the interaction between the SDS and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) part of the silicone surfactant.

The structure of gemini surfactant self-assemblies investigated by energy dispersive X-ray diffraction
Article Abstract:
Gemini surfactants are characterized by two polar headgroups, connected by a spacer of various kinds, and two hydrophobic tails and it represent an interesting topic both for industry and research. The structure of fully hydrated solid supported cationic gemini 1a multibilayers is studied by means of energy dispersive X-ray diffraction.
