Abstract

Oligomeric surfactants possess superior physicochemical properties making them a promising future in applications, but cumbersome covalent synthesis and purification seriously impede their development. Recently, dynamic surfactants fabricated via non-covalent interaction have attracted considerable attention. Here, we developed a dynamic oligomeric surfactant by simple neutralization reaction in situ without extra inorganic salts, and the degree of oligomerization can be flexibly changed in 1 ~ 3 by controlling the molar ratio. Through surface activity, dynamic light scattering, rheology, and freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy, it was found that the pseudo-gemini or trimeric surfactants are readily to form viscoelastic wormlike micelles and show remarkable thickening ability, as similar to that of conventional covalent oligomeric counterparts. However, due to the nature of non-covalent bond, the viscoelastic fluid based on pseudo-oligomeric surfactant is highly thermosensitive compared with common oligomeric surfactant systems. Additionally, a scaling law of correlating C * with the degree of oligomerization was revealed for the first time in viscoelastic oligomeric surfactant system, which is convenient for forecasting the overlapping concentration and controlling the viscoelasticity of solution.
