Abstract

Rheological measurements on aqueous solutions containing a constant concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and increasing the concentration of counter ion additive, M2X, where X 2− represents 4-methoxysalicylate (4-MeOSa2−) and 3-, 4-methylsalicylate (3-, 4-MeSa2−), exhibit the presence of (i) spherical (SM), wormlike (WM) and branched (BWM) micelles for X 2− = 4-MeOSa2− and (ii) spherical, wormlike, branched micelles, small vesicles (SVs)/planar bilayer sheets (PBLS) and multilamellar vesicles (MLV) for X 2− = 3-, 4-MeSa2−. Zero shear viscosities measured with respect to M2X showed first and second maxima which were used to calculate flow activation energies (E a) at various M2X.
