ABSTRACT: The wormlike micelles were synthesized by different surfactants and counterion. The first type
is anionic surfactant potassium erucic (KEU) and three hydroxyethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (BTHEAC).
The second type is cationic surfactant octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (OTAC) and vinyl sodium ben-
zosulfonate (NaSS). After comparing, when the molar ratio of n (OTAC): n (NaSS) =1:1, the largest viscosity
of wormlike micelles ...
