摘要: Abstract In this paper, we show how to tailor the structure and rheology of aqueous solutions cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate, CTAT, by adding a hydrotrope (potassium phthalic acid, PPA) or changing pH. Aqueous neat CTAT CTAT/PPA binary mixtures were evaluated under different concentrations compared with an analogous surfactant, chloride (CTAC). PPA content promotes substantial increases in micellar flexibility inter-micellar entanglements, resulting higher degree fluid. Increasing pH leads significant low shear rate viscosities comparison at its original pH, because OH ions favor aggregation as well growth worm-like micelles. Nevertheless, increasing produced progressive decrease viscosities. This result is due nature interactions between PPA, ionization functional groups present PPA. Cryo-TEM 1 H NMR measurements evidenced, respectively, microstructural chemical environmental changes upon addition explain rheological properties function fluid structure.
