(a) Chemical structure of C12Mal2– and HTA+; (b) truncated phase diagram of C12MalNa2 + HTAB + water mixed system at 25 °C. Phases: (A), gel; (B), viscous; (C), precipitate; and clear region indicate the formation of micelle. The dotted line in panel b corresponds to equimolar region. Panel (c), POM and (d), FE-SEM image of 5 wt% C12MalNa2 + HTAB (40:60, w/w) gel respectively. Scale bars (in μm) are mentioned in the microscopic images.
