On the concentration-induced growth of nonionic wormlike micelles.
(2008) In European Physical Journal E. Soft Matter 27. p.261-273- Abstract
- We present a comprehensive study of the concentration-induced growth of nonionic wormlike micelles in dilute solutions, below the overlap concentration, where we combine static and dynamic light scattering and NMR self-diffusion. The data are analyzed in detail in terms of the number-averaged contour length, assuming an exponential size distribution, as predicted by theory, and that the micellar flexibility can be described by the wormlike chain model with a certain persistence length. A very good agreement between the different experimental methods is obtained. The number-averaged contour length increases with increasing micelle volume fraction. The data are consistent with a power law, where the power law exponent is in the range... (More)

A very good agreement between the different experimental methods is obtained. The number-averaged contour length increases with increasing micelle volume fraction. The data are consistent with a power law, where the power law exponent is in the range 0.5-0.8, depending on the system. The result is in reasonable agreement with the theory of living polymers.
