Abstract

We report here on a system (cetylpyridinium chlorate in brine (1 M sodium chlorate)) where giant elongated micelles from. We compare its properties to that of solutions of polymers in a good solvent. The semi-dilute regime is reached at very low concentration with a large correlation length. This situation allows to investigate, using static and dynamic light scattering, the mass distribution and the dynamics on length scales larger and smaller than the correlation length. The results obtained allow to confirm our initial hypothesis: analogy between the solutions of giant micelles and the solutions of polymers.
