Wormlike micelles have been observed and explained in a wide variety of different types of surfactants except sulfobetaine ones. Here, we first report branched worms formed by a C22-tailed amidosulfobetaine surfactant-3-(N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethyl ammonium) propane sulfonate (EDAS). Increasing EDAS concentration in the semidilute region increases the viscosity by several orders of magnitude and forms viscoelastic micellar solution of entangled and branched worms. The intermicellar branching is proved by rheological methods and Cryo-TEM observation. Besides, the rheological experiments indicate that EDAS worms show some advantages such as low overlapping concentration, insensitive to inorganic salt, stable over the whole pH range.
