Background:

  • Surfactant mixtures exhibit complex behaviors not fully described by ideal models.
  • Understanding synergistic interactions in mixed surfactant systems is crucial for various applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the phase behavior and thermodynamic properties of alkyltrimethylammonium bromide (CnTAB) and Triton X-100 mixtures.
  • To determine critical micelle concentration (cmc), free monomer concentrations, and micellar composition.
  • To evaluate activity coefficients and excess free energy in the micellar phase.

Main Methods:

  • Surface tension measurements and potentiometry to determine cmc and thermodynamic parameters.
  • Pulsed Field Gradient Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (PFG-NMR) to measure free monomer concentration of Triton X-100.
