Light scattering experiments were carried out on aqueous micellar solutions of
cetylpyridinium chlorate () in the presence of sodium chlorate
(
) as a function of surfactant concentration. The time autocorrelation
function of the scattered field is found to be bimodal. The slow relaxation time, that is
assumed to be the terminal time of the stress relaxation, is a decreasing function of the
surfactant concentration. The behaviour of the plateau modulus obtained by combining
measurements of the slow relaxation time and of the zero-shear viscosity suggests the
presence of entanglements in these highly fluid micellar
systems.
