Structural characterization of mixtures of chitosan and oppositely charged alkyl ether carboxylates
Mixtures of oppositely charged polyelectrolyte and surfactants are widely used in many applications and their aggregation is driven by several forces, ranging from electrostatic to hydrophobic interaction. In our investigation we will study the effects of the addition of chitosan to three alkyl ether carboxylates, differing in their molecular structure and as a consequence showing very different micellar aggregates in solution. From the SANS experiments the corresponding mesoscopic structural picture shall be derived, which then allows for a detailed understanding of the correlation between surfactant structure, mesoscopic structure of these mixed hybrid materials and their properties.
