Rheology and structure of worm-like micelles
Although worm-like micelles have been studied for over 20 years, the diversity of macroscopic behavior and the potential analogy to polyelectrolytes has driven continued study. During the last year, development and application of more realistic scattering models has yielded a deeper understanding of micelle structure. Comprehensive studies on systematic systems are being reported that combine s...
متن کاملThe Rheology of Worm-like Micellar Fluids
This article reviews what has been published on the rheology of worm-like micellar fluids (WLMFs). It is written primarily for those interested in continuum (non-Newtonian fluid) mechanics: it covers the bulk rheological behaviour of typical WLMFs and rheological equations of state (REoS) that reflect this bulk behaviour; it also covers molecular dynamics and Brownian dynamics models that aim t...
متن کاملLattice mesoscopic model of dynamically heterogeneous fluids.
We introduce a mesoscopic three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann model which attempts to mimic the physical features associated with cage effects in dynamically heterogeneous fluids. To this purpose, we extend the standard lattice Boltzmann dynamics with self-consistent constraints based on the nonlocal density of the surrounding fluid. The resulting dynamics exhibits typical features of dynamic h...
متن کاملTargeted worm micelles.
Giant and stable worm micelles formed from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based diblock copolymer amphiphiles have the potential advantage compared to smaller assemblies for delivery of a large quantity of hydrophobic drugs or dyes per carrier. Here we show that worm micelles can be targeted to cells with internalization and delivery of nontoxic dyes as well as cytotoxic drugs. Constituent copolym...
متن کاملSurfactant micelles: model systems for flow instabilities of complex fluids.
Complex fluids such as emulsions, colloidal gels, polymer or surfactant solutions are all characterized by the existence of a "microstructure" which may couple to an external flow on time scales that are easily probed in experiments. Such a coupling between flow and microstructure usually leads to instabilities under relatively weak shear flows that correspond to vanishingly small Reynolds numb...
