Abstract

The phase and rheological behaviour of mixed nonionic surfactant system – polyoxyethylene cholesteryl ether (ChEO15)–alkanoyl-N-methylethanolamide (NMEA-n)–water was studied at 25 °C. With addition of NMEA to the ChEO15–water binary system, a micellar (Wm)–lamellar (Lα) phase transformation takes place at low ChEO15 concentration. Within the Wm phase region of the ChEO15–NMEA-12–water system, there exists a high-viscosity region consisting of a viscoelastic micellar solution of entangled wormlike micelles, as suggested by rheological measurements. These solutions obey the Maxwell model of a viscoelastic fluid. Substitution of NMEA-12 by its analogue with a longer hydrophobe (NMEA-16) in the mixed surfactant system increases the extent of micellar growth, however, a phase separation occurs before a highly viscoelastic micellar system is formed. This may be attributed to the increase in packing constraints in the lipophilic core of the micelle that favours unidimensional growth.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
