Nanoparticle size controls aggregation in lamellar nonionic surfactant mesophase

We show that the size of silica nanoparticles influences the nature of their aggregation in an aqueous solution of a relatively hydrophobic nonionic surfactant, C12E4. We present results for dispersions of silica nanoparticles with sizes varying from 8 to 26 nm, in a 75: 25 C12E4/water system, that...
