Temperature-jump study of elongated micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide

Abstract
A study of the kinetics of elongated micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in aqueous solutions containing potassium bromide has been performed by means of a T-Jump technique, using light scattering to probe the relaxation. The relaxation time has been measured as a function of the surfactant concentration, salt concentration and temperature. The T-Jump results combined with rheological measurements provide information on the stress-relaxation mechanism of these systems
