Basic Properties of Wormlike Micelles,use of their attractive macroscopic properties—all of which result from their versatile self-assembly properties and microstructures. In this chapter, we recall the basic properties of surfactant assemblies, in particular, the classical “critical packing parameter” theory which is widely used to pre

Thermo-responsive Wormlike Micelles,viscosity decrease with temperature is a rather general characteristic of most systems. Instead, the unique thermo-viscosifying behaviour displayed by some WLMs and the possibility of imparting a pseudo “sol/gel” transition in specific systems are extensively addressed. These two types of systems sh

Other Types of Smart Wormlike Micelles, have been far less documented: redox potential and hydrocarbons and their use to control the assembly and properties of wormlike micelles. In addition, recent reports of multiple stimuli-responsive wormlike micelles are also described, as well as smart reverse wormlike micelles, to complete this co

Applications of Smart Wormlike Micelles,switchable viscoelastic properties offer opportunities for uses where controllable encapsulation and thickening are needed. A series of potential applications are described in this chapter, including biomedicine, cleaning, as electrorheological and photo-rheological fluids, for templating, and drag
