Abstract

Wormlike Micelles (WLMs) provide the basis for structure and rheology of many consumer products such as laundry detergents, shampoos, body washes, dish detergents. Rheology determines key “touchpoints” of the consumer in handling of products, including the dispensing, pooling, spreading and dissolution of products in use, as well as process transformations such as mixing and bottle filling during manufacturing. This project developed molecular simulation tools to describe the structure and dynamics of WLMs for elucidating the mechanisms leading to different rheological behavior.
