Abstract
The structures of micelles of the surfactant polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) in 0-50% aqueous N,N-dimethylform- amide (DMF) solutions (pH 7.2, ionic strength 2.44 mM) were investigated by means of small-angle X-ray scattering. At all the tested DMF concentrations, core-shell cylinder micelles formed; that is, increasing the concentration of DMF did not result in changes in the shape of the micelles. These results indicate that increasing the concentration of polar solvents does not always result in changes in the shapes of surfactant micelles.
