Abstract
Polarized light scattering measurements at a scattering angle of 90° on aqueous solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and chloride (CTAC) each exhibit a pre-micellar maximum as a function of concentration at 20°C. Further evidence from angular light scattering and correlation spectroscopy suggests the existence of a low concentration of large anisotropic structures both above and below the cmc. Interpretations are formulated in terms of thermodynamic and geometrical packing considerations.
