Abstract:We performed a structural analysis of aggregates formed by two types of trimeric surfactants based on quaternary ammonium salts�linear-type 3C n lin-s-Q and star-type 3C n tris-s-Q�featuring varying alkyl chain lengths (n) and spacer chain lengths (s) in aqueous solutions. We performed rheology, dynamic light scattering, and small-angle X-ray scattering measurements on the trimeric surfactants and investigated the effects of the alkyl chain length, spacer chain length, spacer skeleton structure, and surfactant… Show more
