Abstract
Cationic surfactants bearing a polymerizable styryl headgroup and a variable alkyl chain (Cn-STY with n=8, 12, and 16) have been synthesized. Their aqueous solutions have been characterized by the surfactant critical micellar concentration (cmc) and aggregation number. The photoinitiated polymerization of these surfactants in the micellar state led to stable and transparent or slightly bluish systems. The polymers have high molecular weights (3x10 5 -3x10 6 ) which indicate that the initial micellar structure is not preserved upon polymerization
