“…The surfactant we used, This average, r~, can be determined by proton NMR spectroscopy. In the NMR spectrum the aliphatic, the aromatic, and the ethylene oxide hydrogen atoms give rise to signals at three distinct positions, centered at about 1, 7, and 4 ppm, respectively [11]. The spectrum of our surfactant is presented in figure 1 and from the integrated signal we calculated r~ = 6.8, in good agreement with the specifications of the supplier.…”
