Abstract
The gemini-like surfactants have been constructed by compounding N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine (UC22AMPM) and o-phthalic acid (o-PA), m-phthalic acid (m-PA), or p-phthalic acid (p-PA), and are denoted as o-EAPA, m-EAPA, and p-EAPA, respectively. It is well known that inorganic salts have significant effects on surfactant aggregates, and herein the effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) on gemini-like surfactants is explored by rheological and dynamic light scattering measurements, and cryo-TEM. It is found that the viscoelasticity of the EAPA systems first increases and then decreases with an increase of the NaCl concentration. And the optimal NaCl concentrations for these three systems are in the order of o-EAPA < m-EAPA < p-EAPA due to different spacer distances between the two carboxyl groups in the phthalic acid. Similar trends in the N,N-dimethyl oleoaminde-propylamine (DOAPA) and o-PA, m-PA, or p-PA systems were also observed. The results show that an appropriate NaCl concentration will promote gemini-like surfactants to form wormlike micelles (WLMs). Upon further increasing the NaCl concentration, the WLMs transform into vesicles. Excessive NaCl concentration will cause the surfactant systems to reach their cloud point and make the surfactants precipitate out. The mechanism of the effects of NaCl is that Cl- reduces the electrostatic repulsion between the headgroups of the surfactants. This work is helpful in understanding the effects of inorganic salts on the surfactants and this study is useful for exploring the practical applications of gemini-like surfactants.

Abstract
Responsive wormlike micelles (WLMs) constructed by different carboxylic acids are fascinating. However, it is unknown how the position of the carboxylic groups alters the stimuli-response of wormlike micellar systems. Herein, three pH-responsive WLMs based on Gemini-like surfactants (named o-EAPA, m-EAPA, and p-EAPA) were formed and studied through the complexation of N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine (UC22AMPM) and o-phthalic acid (o-PA), m-phthalic acid (m-PA), or p-phthalic acid (p-PA) at the molar ratio of 2 : 1. The viscoelasticity, phase behavior and aggregate microstructure were separately explored by rheological, appearance observation and cryo-TEM methods. The results show that all phthalic acids can protonate UC22AMPM, thereby forming WLMs. However, with the shorter spacer distance between two carboxyl groups in phthalic acid, o-EAPA exhibits the longer length scale of aggregates and a more efficient thickening ability compared to the other two systems. Similar results in the N,N-dimethyl oleoaminde-propylamine (DOAPA) and o-PA, m-PA, and p-PA systems further verify the applicability of this mechanism. Furthermore, the phthalic acid based WLMs are found to exhibit intriguing reversible pH-responsive behaviors, which include promptly switching between a high elastic system and a low viscosity fluid by pH control. The o-EAPA system possesses a larger viscosity maximum, which produces more precipitous viscosity changes as the pH varies. This study is beneficial for the formation of pH-responsive WLMs and to determine their advantages for applications.
