Highly extended conformation of polyelectrolytes incorporated into hybrid threadlike micelles studied by small angle neutron scattering.
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.
