Multiple stimuli responsive novel surfactant systems: molecular design, synthesis and characterization

Abstract:
Surfactant systems have the ability to sense and respond to the polarity of surface/interface and adsorb or aggregate into self-assembly structures, namely micelles, vesicles and liquid crystals. There are a few surfactants which can respond to external stimuli or changes in the environment by readjusting their morphology. For example, the stimuli-responsive shear thickening fluids have been employed to make liquid body armor. However, nearly all of those fluids can be trigged only by one type of environmental factors such as pH, heat, CO2, light, and electric. Multiple stimuli-responsive fluids have realized by employing polymeric surfactants…
