Background: A new and simple determination method for critical micelle concentration (CMC) has been developed based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. In the current work, the CMCs for sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and Triton X-100 (TX-100) were determined in aqueous media by SPR of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Findings: The variation of the absorbance of AgNPs in respect of bulk water is a consequence of the micelles formation from the surfactants monomer, here, SDS, CTAB, and TX-100. Under the optimal experimental conditions, CMCs for SDS, CTAB, and TX-100 using SPR technique were 8.6 × 10
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
