“…LSER studies are also based on a thermodynamic approach and provide quantitative information about different solute-micelle interaction phenomena. They can be used to elucidate which mechanisms play a dominant role in Presented at the 21 st ISC held in Stuttgart, Germany, 15th-20 th September, 1996 Previously we demonstrated that the retention index, I, is a good migration parameter to compare different surfactant systems since I is independent of the concentration, molar volume and critical micelle concentration of the applied surfactant [8]. For a given sample compound in a specific surfactant system, SF, a AIsF value can be calculated according to:…”
