Effect of Pentanol and Salt on the Fusion−Scission Kinetics for CTAB Micelles

Abstract: The kinetic properties of aqueous solutions of CTAB with pentanol and KBr are studied with a T-jump device. The transition range from spherical to cylindrical micelles is determined with a microcalorimeter, and the semidilute range with an Oswald viscometer. The kinetic results show that, for elongated micelles, the value of the relaxation time decreases when the salt or pentanol concentration increases. This variation indicates that the decrease of the potential barrier is larger than the increase of the endc… Show more

“…For ethanol and 2-propanol, s R and G 0 are practically not affected, due to the high affinity of these co-solutes for the continuous aqueous phase. However, short alcohols have been shown to intercalate in the palisade layer, and at higher alcohol/CTAB ratios, changes in the rheology may be detected, as reported elsewhere [30]. The more hydrophobic co-solutes, instead, are more likely to interact with the wormlike micelles, either by being encapsulated in the core or localising at the core/water interface.…”

“…For instance, a process was reported which reversibly thickens a viscoelastic fluid by adding trichloroethylene, which is then removed by distillation to restore viscoelasticity [14]. Solubilisation of small organic molecules (alcohol, amines) can modify the packing of the surfactants and therefore alter micellar curvature, promoting aggregate shape modification such as sphere-to-rod transition [29,30]. For instance, a range of molecules with the same C8 chain structure but differing functionalities (octanol, octanoic acid, octylamine and octane) was added to CTAB micelles [31].…”

“…The dynamics at the interface would be quite complicated due to fusion-scission kinetics [17] of CTAB and CTAP and the possibility of formation of liposomes [18] and even nonspherical lamellar micelles [19].…”

“…Medium chain alcohols (n > 4) were found to intercalate between micelles (palisade layer) causing a decrease in CMC and thereby promotes micelle growth. [23][24][25][26] Kuperkar and his co-workers 27 examined the effect of linear alcohols (C 2 OH to C 6 OH) on cationic surfactants and emphasised that upon increasing the hydrocarbon chain length of alcohol (n) there is a marked decrease in CMC, resulting in pronounced micellar growth. Similar behaviour was reported for an ionic micellar system with alcohol chain length up to C 8 .…”
