Abstract

On the basis of the kinetic description of stepwise aggregation upon the release and absorption of surfactant monomers by micelles, the complete spectrum of relaxation times is found for relatively fast establishment of a quasi-equilibrium distribution of cylindrical micelles. These times also include the time required for the establishment of the corresponding quasi-equilibrium concentration of surfactant monomers. The resultant times are compared to an earlier diffusion estimate for the characteristic time of the establishment of quasi-equilibrium state of cylindrical micelles in a solution with a surfactant concentration much higher than the second critical micellization concentration CMC2.
