Small-angle neutron scattering from hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles in aqueous solutions
Small-angle neutron scattering measurements have been carried out at 50/sup 0/C as a function of external contrast (different ratios of H/sub 2/O to D/sub 2/O) on 0.12 M solutions of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, with the methyls of the ammonium group protiated and deuterated. The results indi...

Zusammenfassung: | Small-angle neutron scattering measurements have been carried out at 50/sup 0/C as a function of external contrast (different ratios of H/sub 2/O to D/sub 2/O) on 0.12 M solutions of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, with the methyls of the ammonium group protiated and deuterated. The results indicate that most of the surfactant hydrocarbon is in a micellar core penetrated by little, if any, solvent. The micelles are described adequately by a dispersion of monodisperse prolate ellipsoids. There is a significant effect on the size of the aggregates by the isotopic composition of the solvent. |
