The characteristics of the micelles change dramatically as the alkyl chain length is increased from 12 to 18. In the case or C<sub>18</sub>DMB, large micelles form at very low surfactant concentrations (about 0.2 wt%) and grow rapidly to become entangled at slightly higher concentrations (about 1 wt%). Upon addition of salt, C<sub>18</sub>DMB micelles become very large and semiflexible. At 40.3°C the persistence lengths of C<sub>18</sub>DMB micelles in 0.01 and 0.1 <em>M</em> NaCl aqueous solutions are approximately 1400 ± 200 Å and 1600 ± 250 Å, respectively. The persistence length of C<sub>18</sub>DMB micelles in 0.1 <em>M</em> NaCl solution at 51.5°C is 1650 ± 250 Å. The dynamic light scattering data are consistent with estimated persistence lengths.
