The aggregation behavior of the cationic-rich side of a sugar-based tricatenar catanionic mixture was investigated in water, and it was shown that the excess of cationic sugar-based surfactant enhanced vesicle stability as well as encapsulation properties. Moreover, when the system was diluted. the vesicular solution collapsed into a lamellar phase, whereas, when it was concentrated, no major impact on the shape and stability of the aggregates was observed. We also showed that both an increase in temperature and the addition of salt induced reversible vesicle aggregation, which appeared to be salt-specific, following the direct order of the Hofmeister series. A proper adjustment of these parameters should then enable better control of the shape. stability, and even encapsulation ability of the aggregates formed by these tricatenar cationic/anionic mixtures.
