Enormously elongated cationic surfactant micelle formed in CTAB—aromatic additive systems

Light and Oxygen Protective Properties of Materials Induced by Surfactant Molecular Complex Formation

“…The striking solution behavior is the focus of attention of many researchers (7)(8)(9). By using an electron microscope, we found infinitely elongated gigantic micelle images as the origin of the solution characteristics (10). At the same time we observed coimages of single crystals of complexes which germinated our later findings on the SMC formation in this topic (11).…”

Effects of Sodium Salicylate on the Microstructure of an Aqueous Micellar Solution and Its Rheological Responses

“…The threshold concentration is weakly dependent on temperature. The TEM images taken at low temperatures by Shikata et al showed micrometer-sized linear chain structure in a very dilute regime (22). As the surfactant concentration increased, partly or fully entangled structures were gradually formed in the semidilute regime.…”

Role of quaternary bromides in changing the solubilization site of n‐heptylamine in cationic micellar solutions

“…In contrast, with R 4 N salts the viscosity increased (part I), decreased (part II), and increased again (part III). This behavior is new but akin to that observed with Na salts of organic acids (26,27), which have an altogether different origin (28). With KBr, the continuous viscosity increase may be due to the synergistic effect of Br − and C 7 NH 2 (as discussed in the previous paragraph).…”
