Light-scattering and small-angle neutron-scattering investigations of double-tailed surfactants in aqueous solutions
Aqueous solutions of sodium p-(1-pentylheptyl)benzenesulfonate (6-PhC/sub 12/SNa) at 45/sup 0/C were investigated using static and dynamic light scattering (LS) and static small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. The SANS studies in D/sub 2/O were performed in the concentration range 0.0099-0.0991 M; Guinier radii (R/sub G/) of 13.7 to 16.6 A were determined. Scattering curves for the more concentrated solutions show an interaction peak which arises from intermicellar correlations; the effect of added NaCl, at a constant surfactant concentration of 0.0845 M, on these interactions was also studied. The SANS measurements were complemented by static and dynamic LS studies on 0.0845 M 6-PhC/sub 12/SNa in H/sub 2/O, with and without added salt. Non-single exponential behavior was observed in the intensity autocorrelation functions, and two interpretations of the slow process(es) are briefly discussed.
