Abstract

In this chapter, formulation of charge-free nonionic surfactant reverse micelles in non-aqueous media and their structural transformations upon external stimuli are demonstrated. Contrary to the general postulation that reverse micelles usually assembled into spheroid shape with small aggregation number, formation of reverse rodlike micelles and evidence of sphere-to-wormlike reverse micelle transition are demonstrated in surfactant/oil system without the addition of water.
