The size, shape, and flexibility of hexaoxyethylene dodecyl ether C12E6 micelles and hexaoxyethylene tetradecyl ether C14E6 micelles in dilute aqueous solutions were determined at finite surfactant concentrations, c, by static (SLS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments at several temperatures T below the critical points. The SLS results were successfully analyzed with the aid of the thermodynamic theory for SLS from micelle solutions formulated with the wormlike spherocylinder model. The analysis yielded the molar mass Mw of the micelle as a function of c and the cross-sectional diameter d of 2.3 nm for the C12E6 micelles and 2.4 nm for the C14E6 micelles. It has been found that micelles grow in size with increasing c and T, following the relation Mw ∝ c1/2. The hydrodynamic radius RH and the radius of gyration 〈S2〉1/2 of the micelles as functions of Mw were found also to be well described by the corresponding theories for the wormlike spherocylinder and wormlike chain models, respectively.
