abstract = {Nonionic ethylene oxide (EO)‐based surfactants are widely
employed in commercial applications and normally form
gel‐like liquid crystalline phases at higher
concentrations, rendering their handling under such
conditions difficult. By incorporating CO2 units in their
hydrophilic head groups, the consumption of the
petrochemical EO was reduced, and the tendency to form
liquid crystals was suppressed completely. This surprising
behavior was characterized by rheology and studied with
respect to its structural origin by means of small‐angle
neutron scattering (SANS). These experiments showed a
strongly reduced repulsive interaction between the micellar
aggregates, attributed to a reduced hydration and enhanced
interpenetration of the head groups owing to the presence of
the CO2 units. In addition, with increasing CO2 content the
surfactants became more efficient and effective with respect
to their surface activity. These findings are important
because the renewable resource CO2 is used, and the
CO2‐containing surfactants allow handling at very high
concentrations, an aspect of enormous practical importance.},
