Abstract
Solution properties and colloidal assemblies of various surfactants such as hydrocarbon types, fluorocarbon types, hybrid types are reviewed in terms of a single surfactant micelle formation and its solubilization, a mixed micelle formation and its solubilization, a microemulsion formation, an emulsion and emulsification, a vesicle formation, a liposome formation, a surfactant-free emulsion and etc.
