Abstract
Solutions based on polymer-like micelles of ionic surfactants attract the attention of scientists as stimuli-responsive systems that can transform from a low-viscosity Newtonian fluid to a viscoelastic solution having a viscosity of up to 10 kPa s and an elastic response. The shape of micelles and their length are determined by the balance of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions; therefore, the use of various low molecular weight substances or functional nanoparticles as additives can significantly change the rheological properties of such solutions and impart new stimuli-responsive properties to them. This review presents the most commonly used methods for controlling the properties of multicomponent solutions of wormlike surfactant micelles, including nanocomposite systems. Modern areas of practical application of such systems and prospects for their development are described.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Science, Series C (Selected Topics) is a journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences. Series C (Selected Topics) includes experimental and theoretical papers and reviews on the selected actual topics of macromolecular science chosen by the editorial board (1 issue a year). Submission is possible by invitation only. All journal series present original papers and reviews covering all fundamental aspects of macromolecular science. Contributions should be of marked novelty and interest for a broad readership. Articles may be written in English or Russian regardless of country and nationality of authors. All manuscripts are peer reviewed
