Distinct character of surfactant gels: a smooth progression from micelles to fibrillar networks.
نویسنده
چکیده
Gel formation by surfactant molecules is argued to be a process similar to micellization rather than crystallization; it is controlled by thermodynamics rather than kinetics. The properties of surfactant-based gels are compared with those of gels with crystalline fibrillar networks, and questions associated with the nature of these gels are raised.

Surface roughness directed self-assembly of patchy particles into colloidal micelles.
Colloidal particles with site-specific directional interactions, so called "patchy particles", are promising candidates for bottom-up assembly routes towards complex structures with rationally designed properties. Here we present an experimental realization of patchy colloidal particles based on material independent depletion interaction and surface roughness. Curved, smooth patches on rough co...
متن کاملVesicle--biopolymer gels: networks of surfactant vesicles connected by associating biopolymers.
The effect of adding an associating biopolymer to surfactant vesicles and micelles is studied using rheology and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The associating polymer is obtained by randomly tethering hydrophobic alkyl chains to the backbone of the polysaccharide, chitosan. Adding this polymer to surfactant vesicles results in a gel; that is, the sample transforms from a Newtonian liqu...
متن کاملEffect of pH on Structural Properties of Heat-Induced Whey Protein Gels
Formation and structure of whey protein heat-induced gels (100 mg mL-1) through heat treatment at 80 °C and pH modifications at three pH values of acidic (2), isoelectric (5.6) and neutral (7) were studied. The obtained results indicated that the nature of the primary gel networks was different at each pH value. The heat-induced gels produced at pH of 2 and 7, had acceptab...
متن کاملمقایسه میسلهایکازئین (Casein Micelles) در شیرخاموپاستوریزهبی چربی درpHهای مختلف با میکروسکوپ‌های الکترونی نگاره و گذاره
In this research some properties of the casein micelles in the raw and pasteurized milk were studied by electron microscopy. SEM and TEM were used to evaluate the differences in acidified casein micelles of raw and pasteurized milk at the Iso Electric Point (pH=4.6). Milk samples were taken from research pilot plant of The College of Agriculture. Milk was pasteurized by the L.T.L.T. method in t...
