I. INTRODUCTION There has been much interest in studying surfactant aggregation in polar solvents other than water over the last few decades. In a large number of studies various surfactant systems have been mapped and evidence for self-assembly of surfactants in some nonaqueous polar solvents has been published. During the last few years more detailed information on the structure of the aggregates and on the characteristics of the aggregation processes have been provided.
