Abstract

The effect of octanol on the interaction of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were investigated by viscosity, conductivity, differential scanning calorimetry (DCS), polarizing microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and rheology analysis. The aggregation of polymer-surfactant micelles takes place at a surfactant concentration higher than the critical micelle concentration. The long chain aliphatic alcohol (n-octanol) induced rapid structural transformation in the mixed micellar system by unusual cooperative micellization. The rheological behavior of the viscoelastic system reveals the presence of giant aggregates in this system. The lyotropic nature of the giant aggregates was monitored by DSC and polarizing microscopic studies, and which was confirmed by cryo-TEM.
