Abstract

In comparison with the widely reported triggers described in previous chapters—namely temperature, pH, and light—this chapter discusses triggers which 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 collection of “unconventional” smart wormlike micelles.
