1. The phase behaviour of a ternary system composed of cationic gemini surfactant 2-hydroxypropyl-1,3-bis(myristyldimethylammonium chloride) (14-3(OH)-14(2Cl)), nonionic surfactant polyoxyethylene laurel ether (C12H25(OCH2CH2)10OH, Brij-30) and H2O was studied and its phase diagram was determined.
2. The viscoelastic worm-like micellar solution region was investigated in detail, with an increase in the Brij-30 content or temperature resulting in one-dimensional micellar growth and a maximum appearing in the zero-shear viscosity versus Brij-30 content or temperature curves.
3. Various techniques were used to study the phase transition processes occurring in this system, including cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, small angle X-ray scattering measurements, and differential scanning calorimetry.
