Abstract

Folding of hydrocarbon chains and reduction in micelle size are observed as the number of headgroups (h) on the new single-chain cationic surfactants increases from (h = 1) to bident (h = 2) or trident (h = 3, see picture). The aggregation number is dramatically decreased and the fractional charge on the micelle increases with the increase in the charge at the headgroup.
