Objective THE AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ELUCIDATE THE SPECTACULAR PROPERTIES OF SOME SURFACTANT SOLUTIONS WHERE ELONGATED CYLINDRICAL MICELLES SIMILAR TO POLYMER FORM. EMPHASIS WILL BE PUT ON THE STUDY OF THE REOLOGICAL AND NONLINEAR VISCOELASTIC PROPERTIES OF THESE SYSTEMS. ALSO THE PROSPECTS FOR APPLICATIONS AND MORESPECIFICALLY BIOTECHNOLOGICAL ONES WILL BE CONSIDERED. BOTH THEORETICIANS AND EXPERIMENTALISTS CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROJECT.The aim of this project is to elucidate the spectacular properties of some surfactant solutions where elongated cylindrical micelles similar to polymer form. Emphasis will be put on the study of the rheological and nonlinear viscoelastic properties of these systems. Also the prospects for applications and more specifically biotechnological ones will be considered. Both theoreticians and experimentalists contribute to this project.
