Highly Viscoelastic Wormlike Micellar Solutions Formed by Cationic Surfactants with Long Unsaturated Tails
Abstract
Cationic surfactants having long (C 22 ) mono-unsaturated tails were studied in aqueous solutions containing salt using steady and dynamic rheology. The surfactant erucyl bis(hydroxyethyl)methylammonium chloride self-assembles into giant wormlike micelles, giving rise to unusually strong viscoelasticity. Under ambient conditions, the viscosity enhancement due to surfactant exceeds a factor of 10 7 . Some samples behave as gel-like solids at low temperatures and revert to the viscoelastic (Maxwellian) response only at higher temperatures. These samples display appreciable viscosities (>10 Pa·s) up to very high temperatures (ca. 90 °C). Salts with counterions that penetrate into the hydrophobic interior of the micelles, such as sodium salicylate, are much more efficient at promoting self-assembly than salts with nonbinding counterions, such as sodium chloride. Changing the surfactant headgroup to the more conventional trimethylammonium group reduces the viscosity at high temperatures.

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.
