Abstract

Aqueous solutions of mixed cationic and anionic surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium laurate (SL), have been studied by steady-state rheology and dynamic oscillatory technique. Wormlike micelles can form due to attractive interactions between the oppositely charged headgroups of CTAB and SL. The wormlike micelles formed by CTAB/SL have been compared with that of cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB)/SL by steady-state rheology method. Effects of additional components such as NaBr, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on the micelles formation process have also been investigated. Cole-Cole plot has been applied to study the dynamic viscoelasticity of the wormlike micelles.
