title: Formation of worm-like micelles in mixed N-hexadecyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bromide-based cationic surfactant and anionic surfactant systems.
abstract: Through the descriptive and rheological characterization of worm-like micelles formed by N-hexadecyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bromide and sodium laurate, the formation and properties of the worm-like micelles were affected by the concentrations of sodium laurate and temperature. Additionally, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy images further validated the formation of worm-like micelles.
