Abstract

Micellization of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactant mixtures in aqueous solution is reviewed. Simple fluorocarbon surfactant micelles can be characterized by growth from sphere to rod-and disk-like form, which is explained by packing constraint. Non-ideality of the mixed systems with head groups of same charge is summarized using interaction parameter calculated by Shinoda's equation. Examples of mixing of separate micelles in the concentrated solutions are given. The mixed systems with different head groups are described from the stand point of micellar growth and vesicle forming.
