Structural effects of flow on elongated alkylglycoside micelles
Alkylglycosides are non-ionic surfactants that are synthesised from renewable resources. They are used in several products, but their physico-chemical properties are not very well understood. Preliminary scattering experiments have shown that hexadecylmaltoside (C16G2) self-assembles into long rigid cylindrical micelles. Rheological experiments revealed that C16G2 samples are viscoelastic and shear thinning. These properties make C16G2 an interesting candidate to replace fossil-based surfactants currently used to obtain specific rheological properties of formulated products. With this proposal we want to determine how the structure and orientation of the micelles are affected by different shear rates to learn more about the alkylglycoside self-assembly.
