Rheological behaviour of wormlike micelles : effect of salt content
We study the effect of salt content on the rheological properties of wormlike micelles formed from hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in presence of potassium bromide (KBr) and of cetylpyridinium chlorate (CPC10,) in presence of sodium chlorate (C10,Na). Upon increasing the salt concentration, at fixed surfactant concentration, we observe for both systems a maximum of the zero-shear visc...
متن کاملWormlike Micelles Formed by Synergistic Self-Assembly in Mixtures of Anionic and Cationic Surfactants
Self-assembly in mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants occurs synergistically because of attractive interactions between the oppositely charged headgroups. Here, such effects are exploited to obtain highly viscoelastic fluids at low total surfactant concentration. The systems considered are mixtures of the C18tailed anionic surfactant, sodium oleate (NaOA), and cationic surfactants from ...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of surfactant vesicles that transform into viscoelastic wormlike micelles upon heating.
Unilamellar vesicles are observed to form in aqueous solutions of the cationic surfactant, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), when 5-methyl salicylic acid (5mS) is added at slightly larger than equimolar concentrations. When these vesicles are heated above a critical temperature, they transform into long, flexible wormlike micelles. In this process, the solutions switch from low-viscosity,...
متن کاملTime scales in shear banding of wormlike micelles
– We show the existence of three well defined time scales in the dynamics of wormlike micelles after a step between two shear rates on the stress plateau. These time scales are compatible with the presence of a structured interface between bands of different viscosities and correspond to the isotropic band destabilization during the stress overshoot, reconstruction of the interface after the ov...
متن کاملDynamic response of block copolymer wormlike micelles to shear flow
The flow behavior of giant wormlike micelles consisting of Pb-Peo block copolymers in the vicinity of the isotropic-nematic phase transition concentration is studied. We explain the appearance of shear banding close to this transition by critical slowing down of the rotational diffusion. This is evidenced by a combination of Fourier transform rheology, time-resolved Small Angle Neutron Scatteri...
