Giant Micelles: Properties and Applications provides information on the long micelles that occur in many types of surfactant solutions. This book focuses on the theoretical aspects of the formation of giant micelles from different viewpoints, such as molecular thermodynamics, packing, and computer simulations. It also examines their rheological behavior and addresses experimental aspects such as transmission electron microscopy at cryogenic temperature, scattering methods, phase diagrams, linear and nonlinear rheology, and relaxation. The text includes discussion of various applications of giant micelles, including oil production, gas production, drag reduction, and use in shampoo and personal care products.
