Temperature‐Induced Micelle to Vesicle Transition in the Sodium Dodecylsulfate/Dodecyltriethylammonium Bromide System

Abstract

The gradual transition from cylindrical micelles to vesicles on increasing the temperature is demonstrated in the cationic–anionic surfactant system of sodium dodecylsulfate/dodecyltriethylammonium bromide. The transition has been studied by dynamic light scattering studies (see graph), a freeze-fracture technique with observation by electron microscopy, and rheology measurements.
