Randomized trial evaluates rheological properties in aqueous surfactant systems, suggesting cellulose enhances formulations.

This research examines how cellulose-based nanomaterials affect the properties of cationic lamellar phases in surfactant systems.
Samples were prepared with varying concentrations of surfactants and cellulose additives.
Rheological properties were measured, along with differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray scattering experiments.
Cationic di(hydrogenated tallow) dimethylammonium chloride was used as the surfactant.
The rigidity and yield stress of samples vary with the type of additive and ratio, peaking at specific concentrations.
CNC showed increased rigidity at a surfactant/additive ratio of 100, while higher concentrations led to decreased properties.
Rheological behavior correlated with changes in lamellar organization, indicating complex interactions among additives.

Sabino et al. (2026) studied this question.
