Structure and Flow in Surfactant Solutions
Abstract
A review is given on rheological data of viscoelastic surfactant solutions. The viscoelastic properties in the discussed systems are due to entangled threadlike micelles. In such solutions that have this microstructure the zero shear viscosities depend strongly on conditions like the charge density of the micelles, the salt and cosurfactant concentration, and the chainlength of the surfactant. For a 1% solution the viscosity can vary between one and 106 mPas. Over extended concentration ranges the viscosities show simple power law behaviour (η° = (c/c*)x with x = 1.5 - 8.5). The largest values for x are observed for systems with charged unshielded micelles and the smallest values for shielded or neutral systems which are close to the L1/Lα-phase boundary. The various exponents are explained on the basis or different scission mechanisms as proposed by M. Cates. Many viscoelastic surfactant solutions show simple Maxwell behaviour.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
