The co-evolution of a strong theoretical framework alongside
application of a range of sophisticated experimental tools
engendered rapid advancement in the study of "giant micelles."
Beginning with Anacker and Debye's 1951 experimental study of
elongated micelles by light scattering and their subsequent
theoretical inference that the thermodynamics of these structures
would have to reflect an opposing force model, theory and
experiment have progressed hand in hand. This progress, along with
growing interest in the practical and industrial applications of
these structures in cleansers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and
energy production, demands a comprehensive, single-source reference
to the current state-of-the-science. Drawing on the expertise of
internationally known scientists, Giant Micelles: Properties and
Applications summarizes the range of behaviors encountered in
solutions of micelles and their applications in industrial
processes. The book introduces theoretical aspects of the
rheological behavior and formation of giant micelles from different
viewpoints including molecular-level thermodynamic theory and
computer simulations. It continues by focusing on the results of a
variety of experimental studies using methods such as
cryo-transmission electron microscopy, scattering techniques, phase
diagrams, linear and non-linear rheology, and chemical relaxation.
Illustrating the properties of giant micelles on solid surfaces,
the book also considers systems of smart micelles that respond to
external stimuli by a change of shape. The authors describe giant
micelles formed from amphiphilic block copolymers as well as
non-covalent polymers that exhibit similar rheological behavior to
giant micelles. Finally, the chapters address current and emerging
applications of giant micelles in oil and gas production, drag
reduction, drug-delivery formulations, and personal care products
such as shampoo. By gathering a range of information into one
