The Surfactant−Polyelectrolyte Analogy
Open accessAbstract
Certain ionic surfactants self-assemble in aqueous solutions into giant flexible wormlike micelles that behave as equilibrium polyelectrolytes. In the mid-1980s the micelle−polymer analogy was first recognized in the solution properties of cationic micelles at high salt concentrations. Since then an extensive literature has developed dealing with rheological investigations, the use of electron microscopy, and the use of small-angle scattering techniques, among others, to further develop the analogy. Nevertheless, there are significant gaps in our knowledge concerning micellar growth laws, micellar flexibility, and intermicellar interactions in these fascinating systems. Several open questions are presented, and the utility of equilibrium polyelectrolytes as model systems for ordinary polyelectrolytes are noted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
