The influence of concentration on rheological properties, including shear viscosity, shear instability, transient stress start-up and relaxation, apparent extensional viscosity, viscoelastic behavior, and microstructure by cryo-TEM, were studied with surfactant Ethoquad O/12, commercialized oleyl methyl bishydroxyethyl chloride, with counterion sodium salicylate. Counterion to surfactant molar ratios, ΞΎ, were 1.0 and 2.5. Concentrations for the ΞΎ = 1 series are 5 mM/5 mM, 10 mM/10 mM, 50 mM/50 mM, 100 mM/ 100 mM, and 200 mM/200 mM (surfactant/counterion); those for the ΞΎ = 2.5 series are 5 mM/12.5 mM, 10 mM/25 mM, 50 mM/ 125 mM, 100 mM/250 mM, and 200 mM/500 mM. The experimental results showed complicated rheological behavior with concentration changes. Shear viscosity decreases with increases in concentration for the ΞΎ = 1 series. At ΞΎ = 2.5 apparent viscosity increases with concentration above 10 mM. Viscoelasticity of the solutions also decreases with increases in surfactant concentration. At high concentration, a high shear rate is needed to induce viscoelasticity. A high extensional rate induces supermicellar structures. Gelation was observed during shear for the 100 mM/250 mM and 200 mM/500 mM solution in the cone-and-plate geometry. Cryo-TEM results revealed that all of the solutions examined had wormlike network micelle microstructures.
