Abstract

The traditional "spokes of a wheel" picture of micelles, published widely in modern organic chemistry and biochemistry texts, is best replaced with a more realistic model having a great deal more disorder.

      Journal of the American Chemical Society2002 124 (42), 12408-12409

      Cryo-etch-HRSEM is introduced as a useful method for exploring colloidal systems. The method fast freezes an aqueous sample (to 105 C in 67 ms), removes some or all of the surface water by sublimation (etching), and magnifies the resulting colloidal ...
