“…From SANS curve (Fig. 4) one can see that at low q region the intensity decreases as q -1 that confirms the formation of WLMs in the solution [3]. From the middle part of the scattering curve the local shape and size of the micelles can be obtained [17].…”

“…The powerful approach to analyze WLMs networks structure via rheological data, SANS and cryo-TEM have been developed during last decades and applied mostly to ionic surfactant WLMs solutions. The hydrophobic tail length provides long length to WLMs because of strong influence of hydrophobic interactions on the aggregation number [3,14]. At the high salt content, the crucial drop of a viscosity and relaxation time are observed [13,15,16].…”

The viscoelastic properties and structure parameters have been investigated for aqueous solutions of wormlike micelles of cationic surfactant erucyl bis(hydroxyethyl) methylammonium chloride with long C22 tail in the presence inorganic salt KCl. The salt content has been varied to estimate linear to branched transition conditions due to screening of the electrostatic interaction in the networks. The local cylindrical structure and low electrostatic repulsion was obtained by SANS data. The drastic power law dependencies of rheological properties on surfactant concentrations were obtained at intermediate salt content. Two power law regions were detected in semi-dilute solutions related to “unbreakable” and “living” micellar chains. The fast contour length growth with surfactant concentration was demonstrated that is in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

Printable Alginate Hydrogels with Embedded Network of Halloysite Nanotubes: Effect of Polymer Cross-Linking on Rheological Properties and Microstructure

et al. 2021

Rapidly growing 3D printing of hydrogels requires network materials which combine enhanced mechanical properties and printability. One of the most promising approaches to strengthen the hydrogels consists of the incorporation of inorganic fillers. In this paper, the rheological properties important for 3D printability were studied for nanocomposite hydrogels based on a rigid network of percolating halloysite nanotubes embedded in a soft alginate network cross-linked by calcium ions. Particular attention was paid to the effect of polymer cross-linking on these properties. It was revealed that the system possessed a pronounced shear-thinning behavior accompanied by a viscosity drop of 4–5 orders of magnitude. The polymer cross-links enhanced the shear-thinning properties and accelerated the viscosity recovery at rest so that the system could regain 96% of viscosity in only 18 s. Increasing the cross-linking of the soft network also enhanced the storage modulus of the nanocomposite system by up to 2 kPa. Through SAXS data, it was shown that at cross-linking, the junction zones consisting of fragments of two laterally aligned polymer chains were formed, which should have provided additional strength to the hydrogel. At the same time, the cross-linking of the soft network only slightly affected the yield stress, which seemed to be mainly determined by the rigid percolation network of nanotubes and reached 327 Pa. These properties make the alginate/halloysite hydrogels very promising for 3D printing, in particular, for biomedical purposes taking into account the natural origin, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility of both components.

“…The molecular self-assembly of surfactants based on noncovalent interactions provides a powerful tool for the creation of well-defined structures of certain dimensions, such as vesicles, rods, disks, and wormlike micelles (WLMs) [1]. It is well known that surfactants with relatively long tail can self-assemble into long, flexible, cylindrical chains (WLMs) with contour lengths of a few micrometers at certain conditions [2][3][4][5]. The soft transient networks based on WLMs of the surfactants attract great attention because of their responsive viscoelastic properties and easy way of preparation [6].…”
