Abstract
Abstract Phase behaviour and static structure of surfactant systems have been studied in much detail, but this applies much less so to their dynamic properties. Structural transitions in amphiphilic systems can be triggered by mixing different amphiphiles. Employing the stopped-flow technique we have studied the kinetics of formation of multilamellar vesicles starting from a micellar solution and a microemulsion containing a semipolar oil. This process has been investigated for various starting conditions and as a function of the charging of the amphiphilic system. The formation process is the faster the closer the starting solution is in composition to the final state and can be slowed down by the presence of ionic surfactant.
