Description

Surfactants are ubiquitous, with many important applications in physical and biological sciences. Increasingly, they are being utilised for their liquid crystalline properties rather than in their traditional roles as detergents, emulsifiers or wetting agents. This is because these liquid crystalline mesophases offer a large range of different architectures with varying degrees of structural order and functionality. Presently, surfactants used in these applications are those with behaviours t...
