| Abstract | In the aqueous mixtures of sodium alkylcarboxylate and alkyltrimethylammonium bromide, large unilamelar vesicles can be formed spontaneously or by sonication as the total carbon number in the HC chains is 19 (or larger). Vesicle formation can be influenced by changes of pH, molar ratio of the two surfactant components, and the polar head group of cationic surfactant. Micelles may coexist with the vesicles in these mixed systems. The larger hydrodynamic radius (∼200 nm) and aggregation number (∼800) illustrate that the shape of the micelle in 1:1 C9H19COONa−C10H21N(CH3)3Br is rod-like. In some mixed systems, the micelles can be transformed into stable vesicles by sonication — a phenomenon revealed for the first time. The surface-chemical properties of these catanionic surfactant solutions and the stabilities of vesicle have been studied systematically. |
