basic properties and applications of viscoelastic wormlike micelles. Viscoelastic wormlike micelles are important microstructures that relate to rhelogical properties of fluid in different applications. Recently
studies of structure and dynamic properties of wormlike micelle have extended to different surfactant type such as anionic
zwitterionic and polymeric surfactants. Applications have been found in oil fields
drag-reducing agents for district heating and cooling and thickeners for personal and home care products.
