Abstract

The phase behavior of aqueous mixtures of polymers and surfactants has been widely studied over the past thirty years. Not only for the academic interest in the richness in the structures formed, but also for the potential this combination holds in a number of different applications, ranging from cleaning products and cosmetics to pharmaceuticals and oil recovery. However, when developing these products, it is essential to know when the species are miscible, when the aim might be to build viscosity, or how to trigger associative phase separation, as for deposition of coacervates in care shampoos. The phase behavior is not only determined by the choice of the polymer and surfactant, but also to a large extent affected by additions of co-surfactants and salt, which will be discussed in this review. Additional aspects to be considered for less-studied, more natural and sustainable polymers and surfactants will also be presented.

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications. Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments. Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
