7 Surfactant Aggregation at High Concentrations. Phase Diagrams of Two-Component Systems 

The onset of formation of approximately spherical micelles from the monomers occurring within a narrow concentration region is a common phenomenon for a large number of amphiphiles, but as one goes to higher concentrations the physico-chem- 

Although a wide range of variability exists, it is possible to make a rough division of the behavior into two groups 

The rheological properties show particularly large changes and in many cases the solutions show a non-Newtonian behavior and for a number of cases pronounced viscoelasticity has been demonstrated. That the classification of a certain surfactant depends very much on temperature is probably best illustrated by the viscosity of
