Abstrakt: Aqueous solutions of octyl-β-D-glucoside have been examined in a wide concentration range. By combining information from density, viscosity and dielectric permittivity, the transition from molecular to micellar state has been evidentiated. Classical equations for the viscosity colloidal dispersions have been reexamined and applied to get information on micelle shape. A combined analysis of dielectric and viscosity findings indicates a slight and continuous dependence of micellar shape on surfactant content. The role of hydration on micellar stability is significant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
