Background:

Non-equilibrium microstructures form during solid surfactant dissolution in water.
Myelin growth is a key microstructure observed with poorly water-soluble surfactants like phosphatidylcholine (PC).

Purpose of the Study:

To quantitatively and qualitatively analyze initial myelin growth in PC systems.
To investigate the effect of silica additives on myelin growth and diffusion.
To elucidate water transport mechanisms during myelin growth.

Main Methods:

Digital video microscopy for observing initial myelin growth (2-4 s) in relation to water flow.
Optical microscopy to study overall myelin growth and the impact of confinement (cover slip-slide distance).
Experiments utilizing silica particles as dopants in the lamellar phase.

Main Results:

Initial myelin growth dynamics were characterized in all directions relative to water flow.
The distance between cover slip and glass slide influences overall myelin growth.
Silica particles induce extensive coiling of myelin structures and affect diffusion coefficients.

Conclusions:

Silica particles significantly alter myelin morphology, causing coiling.
The study provides insights into water transport mechanisms into lamellar phases during myelin formation.
Myelin growth dynamics are complex and influenced by flow, confinement, and additives.
