CMC determination in the presence of surfactant-adsorbing inorganic particulates

Effects of surfactants on the adsorptive removal of basic dyes from water using an organomineral sorbent—iron humate

“…They are, however, influenced strongly by the presence of the "third component" [47], such as dissolved salts [48], ionic organic compounds [49], or even solid particles [50]. It has been shown that micellar activity may be induced in surfactant solutions below the "normal" CMC in the presence of small amounts of solubilized additives (additive-induced micellization) [47].…”

The dispersion-stability diagram of boehmite nanoparticles in aqueous AOT solutions

“…To define the surfactant concentration in this context, one needs to consider the four possible environments for surfactant molecules: unassociated in solution (surfactant monomers), associated in solution (surfactant micelles), adsorbed at the liquidvapor interface, and adsorbed at a solid-liquid interface [11].…”

Micellization Behavior of Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in Presence and Absence of Na2SO4 and MgSO4 in Aqueous media

“…The two fitted lines meet in the curve at the particular point. That point of intersection is known as cmc of the solution.The effective factors, such as the addition of electrolytes, buffer pH, temperature, addition of organic modifiers, ionic strength of the aqueous solution, and presence of additives can change the cmc value from that determined in pure water [8][9][10]. Addition of electrolyte in the surfactant solution decreases the cmc value [11].…”
