Abstract:
SANS measurements revealed that polyelectrolytes, sodium salt of partially sulfonated polystyrenes, incorporated into enormously long hybrid threadlike micelles formed in aqueous solution with a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, have a highly extended conformation with high confinement along the micelles with a radius of 2.3 nm.
