Self-assembly of Fibres in Alkylcarboxylate—Sodium Silicate Systems
Fibres of macroscopic size (up to 5 cm in length) formed spontaneously in initially homogeneous systems containing alkali metal salts of saturated n-alkylcarboxylic acids and sodium silicate. After drying, these fibres resembled wool or down, with some being in the form of dense strands which lamina...
