Abstract:

Synergism and amalgamation between bulk solutions and interfaces could be performed by surfactant self-assembly. The self-assembled structures inbulk solutions and interfaces which are one of the main researche areas in surfactant sciences are also the areas of soft matters. In this short review, we summarize the progress in selfassembled systems,  self-assembled structures (specialvesicles), the evaluation of selfassembled structures and properties of surfactant solutions from the Key Laboratory of Colloid and Interface Chemistry (Shandong University), Ministry of Education. We proposed a new opinion of surfactant sciences: Self-assembly of surfactants perform synergism and amalgamation between bulk solutions and interfaces.

Key words: Surfactant sciences; self-assembly; synergism and amalgamation; bulk solution and interfaces
