The system based on the cationic surfactant 4-aza-1-hexadecyl-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]-octane bromide (DABCO-16) and the organic electrolyte sodium salicylate was studied by tensiometry, conductometry, pH-metry, dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering, and viscosimetry. The critical concentration of micelle formation of DABCO-16 and the electrokinetic potential decrease sharply and the hydrodynamic diameter of the aggregates increases as the concentration of sodium salicylate increases. The rheological properties of the studied solutions are well described by the Maxwell model for a viscoelastic liquid with one relaxation time. Aqueous solutions DABCO-16—sodium salicylate exhibit the properties of an elastic gel and can be used for the formation of compositions with the improved rheological properties.
