Abstract
The swelling and emulsification dynamics of a soluble lamellar phase of an ionic surfactant is investigated. Upon mixing this surfactant with brine the authors observe a myelinic instabilities at the interface between large vesicles and the aqueous phase. During the early stages of emulsification they observe pearling instabilities. At later stage of emulsification they observe very large tubes with diameters that exceed 50 microns and whose length exceed several order of magnitude its radius
