Organic
solvent–water mixed media find applications in industrial,
chemical, and pharmaceutical areas. This work discusses the micellization
and related parameters such as degree of counterion dissociation (α),
change in Gibbs energy of micellization (ΔG
m
0) of an amphiphilic
drug amitriptyline hydrochloride (AMT), and Gordon parameter (G
p) in three polar organic solvents, viz., ethanol
(EtOH), ethylene glycol (EG), and glycerol (GL)–water mixed
media, with a special focus on the effects of a wide range of polarity
changes. A decrease in conductivity of the solution and an enhancement
of critical micelle concentration (cmc) of AMT are found with the
increase in weight percentage (wt %) of the organic solvents in their
mixed media at a pH of 6.7 and a temperature of 303.15 K. The cmc
and absorbance values evaluated from conductivity and dye solubilization
measurements, respectively, reveal that the GL–water mixed
media behave as a better system for AMT compared to the EG–water
and EtOH–water mixed media. The calculated values for ΔG
m
0 in all the compositions of the mixed media were negative, which
increase with the increase in wt % of the studied organic solvents.
