Figure 4.
(a) Image at t = 0 and (b) t = 2 h without stirring show limited-to-no micelle adhesion to zinc surfaces. (c) Images at t = 4 h after soaking show large micelles, including ones that form “shells” encapsulating smaller zinc particles. (d) 10% THF cosolvent, t = 2 h, showing micelle adhesion to zinc particles. (e) t = 4 d, soaking, large micelles have settled to bottom of imaging chamber and are diffusing in solution (not attached to zinc surfaces); single-micelle solution diffusion tracks are overlaid.
