(a) Isometric plots of the normalized and background-subtracted SAXS profiles following the rapid mixing of 25 mM solutions of cationic TTAB and anionic LPFO surfactants. The scattering features represent mixed unilamellar vesicles, which form spontaneously during the mixing process. Each profile was integrated for 1.8 ms, comparable to the dead time of mixing (ca 2 ms), and manifests the growth of unilamellar structures over time. (b) Modelling of the initial and final profiles in terms of single-walled tubes and spherical shells with radii RCyl and RSph, respectively, and wall or shell thicknesses (tsh) as shown in the legend. |
