Addition of lipophilic nonionic amphiphiles, such as short EO-chain polyoxyethylene dodecyl ether (C12EOn, n = 1−4) and monolaurin (ML), to the dilute micellar solution of sucrose hexadecanoate (P1695) induces a sharp increase in viscosity that is attributed to the one-dimensional micellar growth. With successive addition of the nonionics, the viscosity gradually decreases and, eventually, a phase separation occurs. In the maximum-viscosity region of the mixed systems, a viscoelastic solution with a rheological behavior typical of the interwoven network of wormlike micelles is obtained. The oscillatory shear behavior of the systems can be described by the Maxwellian model in the region of low shear frequency. The ability of the lipophilic nonionics to induce micellar growth in the mixed system decreases in the following order: ML ≈ C12EO1 ≈ C12EO2 < C12EO3 < C12EO4. A similar effect of the hydropilic group is observed in the sucrose dodecanoate (SM1200)/C16EOn aqueous system, although the micellar growth...
