Sažetak
The interactions of alkylammonium chlorides (the number of carbon atom per chain was either 12, 14, or 16) with sodium cholate have been investigated by a combination of techniques including light and electron microscopy, surface tension, conductivity, light scattering, and microelectrophoretic measurements. The phase behavior has strongly depended on the molar ratio and actual concentration of oppositely charged surfactants. The change in the composition of the aggregates leads to a shape transformation from globular to elongated micelles to open and/or closed bilayers (vesicles) and precipitation. The length of micelles has been found to decrease dramatically with the concentration shift to the micellar regions of either surfactant. Upon a moderate excess of one surfactant, the mean hydrodynamic diameter of aggregates increases and wormlike micelles and/or open and closed bilayers are formed. Microscopic observations of alkylammonium cholates (novel catanionic surfactants precipitated in and/or close to equimolar region) have shown the presence of a variety of morphologies including twisted ribbons, tubules and bundles of tubules.
