ABSTRACT
Surfactants, drug molecules, and macromolecules with multi-interacting sites when dispersed in a solvent like water “walk” from one point to another. The surfactants initially are dispersed, and when their amount is increased, they start aggregating and finally form micelles. Monomer surfactant molecules keep moving from bulk phase to micelle and vice versa. Such molecules have alkyl chains of variable sizes, which act as legs or riders to move ahead in 1D, 2D, and 3D as per their kinetic energy and entanglement with the medium and cosurfactants. Such science becomes most fruitful for phase extractions, dispersion, thin film formation, dyeing, coating, heat dispersing, nanoparticle dispersion, and so on. Friccohesity is measured quantitatively using the survismeter. The science and fundamentals of survismeter are of interdisciplinary nature and their understanding through questions and answers widen applicability of survismeter sciences.
