The structure of micelles and microemulsions
Abstract
From simple micelles in water, nearly spherical aggregates of amphiphilic molecules, to bicontinuous microemulsions, oil and water microheterogeneous mixtures stabilised by a surfactant film with both local and large-scale disordered structures, the world of surfactant-containing systems is fascinating. Depending on a subtle balance of attractive and repulsive interactions between molecules at interfaces, an extraordinarily rich polymorphism of aggregated structures can be observed. After summarising the basic general constraints controlling surfactant aggregation and the formation of interfaces, different structures of micelles and microemulsions are reviewed and related to interfacial film properties and the intermolecular interactions inside them.

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.
