This is a review article on the rheological properties of mixed solutions of sulfonated methyl esters (SME) and cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), which are related to the synergistic growth of giant micelles. Effects of additives, such as fatty alcohols, cocamide monoethanolamine (CMEA) and salt, which are expected to boost the growth of wormlike micelles, are studied. We report and systematize the most significant observed effects with an emphasis on the interpretation at molecular level and understanding the rheological behavior of these systems. The experiments show that the mixing of SME and CAPB produces a significant rise of viscosity, which is greater than in the mixed solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate and CAPB. The addition of fatty alcohols, CMEA and cationic polymer, leads to broadening of the synergistic peak in viscosity without any pronounced effect on its height. The addition of NaCl leads to a typical salt curve with high maximum, but in the presence of dodecanol this maximum is much lower. At lower salt concentrations, the fatty alcohol acts as a thickener, whereas at higher salt concentrations - as a thinning agent. Depending on the shape of the frequency dependences of the measured storage and loss moduli, G' and G", the investigated micellar solutions behave as systems of standard or nonstandard rheological behavior. The systems with standard behavior obey the Maxwell viscoelastic model (at least) up to the crossover point (G' = G") and can be analyzed in terms of the Cates reptation-reaction model. The systems with nonstandard rheological behavior obey the Maxwell model only in a restricted domain below the crossover frequency; they can be analyzed in the framework of an augmented version of the Maxwell model. The methodology for data analysis and interpretation could be applied to any other viscoelastic micellar system.

磺化甲酯和甜菜碱混合溶液的流变学与巨型胶束的生长和洗发水的应用有关。

这是一篇有关磺化甲酯（SME）和椰油酰胺基丙基甜菜碱（CAPB）混合溶液的流变特性的综述文章，这些溶液与巨型胶束的协同生长有关。研究了添加剂（例如脂肪醇，椰油酰胺单乙醇胺（CMEA）和盐）的作用，这些添加剂有望促进蠕虫状胶束的生长。我们报告和系统化最重要的观察到的效果，重点是在分子水平上的解释和理解这些系统的流变行为。实验表明，SME和CAPB的混合会显着增加粘度，这比十二烷基硫酸钠和CAPB的混合溶液的粘度大。添加脂肪醇，CMEA和阳离子聚合物，导致增效性峰的加宽而对其高度没有任何明显影响。NaCl的添加会导致典型的盐曲线具有很高的最大值，但是在十二烷醇的存在下，最大值大大降低。在较低的盐浓度下，脂肪醇充当增稠剂，而在较高的盐浓度下充当稀释剂。根据所测量的储能和损耗模量G'和G“的频率依赖性的形状，研究的胶束溶液表现为标准或非标准流变行为系统。具有标准行为的系统遵循麦克斯韦粘弹性模型（至少）直至交越点（G'= G“），并可以根据Cates的反应模型进行分析。具有非标准流变行为的系统仅在低于交叉频率的受限区域内遵守麦克斯韦模型；可以在Maxwell模型的增强版本的框架中对其进行分析。数据分析和解释的方法可以应用于任何其他粘弹性胶束系统。
