What can isothermal titration microcalorimetry experiments tell us about the self-organization of surfactants into micelles?
The aim of the present review is to give a concise analysis of the thermodynamic parameters obtained from isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) experiments for the characterization of the self-organization of surfactants into micelles. This review is also focused on works describing some methods allowing to overcome ITC limitation and to extract accurate thermodynamic values from ITC data.
