7 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables.-- Printed version published Jul 2004.-- Presented at the 17th Conference of the European Colloid & Interface Science Society, Firenze, Italy, Sep 21–26, 2003.A vesicle-to-ribbon transition has been observed in extremely dilute 1-O-(L-arginyl)-2, 3-O-di-decanoyl-sn-glycerol dichlorohydrate (1010R) surfactant systems by means of static light scattering. At concentration as low as 0.005 mM the solutions scattered significantly. From the angular dependence and molecular weight of the aggregates a vesicular structure is suggested. Increasing surfactant concentration in water induces the vesicle-to-ribbon transition at concentrations as low as 0.5 mM. This transition is accompanied by a strong decrease of scattered intensity and change in angular dependence. Lowering the pH at a fixed concentration can induce the same transition. Both parameters change the protonation of the surfactant, inducing an increase in preferred surfactant head-group area. Those findings are congruent with the observed surface tension behaviour as a function of surfactant concentration and suggests an explanation for the widely different critical micellar concentration (c.m.c.) as determined by different techniques.Spanish CICYT for partial support of this work through Grants MAT2001-1188-CO2-02 and PPQ2000-1687-CO2-01.Peer reviewe
