Abstract: The conductivity and rheological behaviors of aqueous solution of cetyltrimetylammonium salicylate in dilute and semidilute range were studied.Profile of plot of conductivity vs.concentration of the system shows two inflection points.The first inflection point corresponds to the critical micelle concentration (cmc),while the second corresponds to the concentration that the rodlike micelles begin to form.The changes of thermodynamic functions of micellization were calculated and the results showed that the micellization is an enthalpy-driven process.The steady-state rheological experiment showed that all systems exhibit shear thinning behavior.When the mass mole concentration of the system is higher than 119 mmol·kg-1,its rheological behavior is in line with Maxwell fluid behavior with a single stress relaxation time.The high viscosity behavior is caused by the linkages between short rodlike micelles rather than entangled wormlike micelles.

Key words: cetyltrimethylammonium salicylate, rheological behavior, short rodlike micelles, three-dimensional network structure
