The　molecular　geometry　and　the　driving　factor　of　Gibbs　free　energy　are　acted　as　the　preconditions　for　wormlike　micelle　construction.　Bearing　this　in　mind,　the　formation　and　properties　of　the　wormlike　micelles　by　conventional　anionic　surfactants　are　summarized.　The　reasons　restricting　the　wormlike　micelle　formation　and　high　viscoelasticity　in　conventional　anionic　surfactant　systems　are　illustrated.　The　molecular　structure　advantage　of　Gemini　surfactant　in　forming　wormlike　micelles　is　introduced.　Recent　advances　in　anionic　wormlike　micelle　construction,　especially　for　those　formed　by　anionic　Gemini　surfactants　with　long　and　rigid　spacer　are　described　in　detail.　Finally,　as　a　conclusion,　it　is　specially　pointed　out　that　based　on　the　superiority　of　novel　molecular　structures,　Gemini　surfactants　could　become　main　candidates　in　constructing　wormlike　micelles.
