Notes:
Abstract Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS, respectively) have been measured in H2O solutions of cesium perfluorooctanoate (CsPFO) in the concentration range 65–500 mM (below the phase boundary between micellar and discotic nematic phases). The data have been analyzed with a double-layered ellipsoid form factor combined with the rescaled mean-spherical approximation for the intermicellar structure factor. The scattering curves in the lower-concentration range are fitted well with oblate ellipsoid rather than prolate ellipsoid. Both the aggregation number and the degree of counterion binding increase with increasing surfactant concentration, which is consistent with the concentration dependences of the133Cs and19F NMR chemical shifts.
