Pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether
Pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E5) is a nonionic surfactant. Its critical micelle concentration (CMC) is 7×10−5 M at 25 °C.
Multilamellar vesicle formation
The lamellar phase at 40wt% of C12E5 dissolved in D2O form multilamellar vesicles under shear rate.
