Unraveling the interaction mechanism of sodium cholate with Tetronic ® 1304: correlation of surface properties and thermodynamics

Abstract Understanding the thermodynamics of intermolecular interactions is essential for evaluating the feasibility and stability of mixed micellar systems intended for nanoformulation applications. In the present study, the interaction between the bioamphiphile bile salt sodium...

Tailoring Pluronic® F127-Gelucire® 48/16 mixed micellar nanostructures for efficient solubilization of petroleum-derived hydrocarbon contaminants

Benzene (a representative monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, MAH) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent hydrophobic pollutants frequently present in petroleum-related waste streams, produced waters, and contaminated aquatic environments. The low solubility of a...
