Abstract
⺠Ethoxylated surfactants form colloidal aggregates in organic solvents. ⺠The aggregation is controlled by entropic and enthalpic factors. ⺠Entropy rules the formation of micelles via the hydrophobic effect. ⺠Enthalpy rules micelle formation by hydrogen bonding between polar additive and surfactant. ⺠SAXS can be used to follow all these influences.
