Abstract

In this chapter, viscoelasticity control of aqueous solutions using novel stimuli-responsive surfactants is described. The formation of viscoelastic wormlike micellar solutions by these surfactants is switchable by external stimuli such as light irradiation, redox reaction, and pH change. This chapter consists of following three sections: (1) photochemical control of viscoelasticity using (a) photoresponsive azobenzene-modified surfactants, (b) a photoresponsive counter ion, and (c) a novel photocleavable surfactant. (2) Redox-responsive wormlike micellar solution using a ferrocenyl surfactant. (3) pH-responsive wormlike micellar solution by acylglutamic acid-alkylamine complex. Formation-disintegration control of wormlike micelles, and thus, the solution viscosity change, using these stimuli-responsive surfactants, may lead to applications for controlled release of fragrances, flavors, and drugs incorporated into the micelles, and for prevention of printer ink bleeding.
