Conductance of dialkyl sodium sulfosuccinate surface-active agents

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

“…It was found that for silica particles in alkylpyridinium chloride solution the maximum instability was reached at an equilibrium concentration of 2%, respectively 3%, of the cmc of the particular surfactant [18]. In the present case, the experimental results indicate the region of complete precipitation to start at c free,2→3 = 0.11 mM, which equals 4% of the cmc of AOT (= 2.5 mM [23,26]). …”

Premicelle Formation of Double-chain Surfactants and Bile Salts in the Neighborhood of the CMC Region: Application of a Differential Conductivity Technique to the Determination of Micellization Parameters

“…This curve was reported by Mukerjee et al 19 and was created using NaTDC. On the other hand, for an equivalent conductivity, maximum curves in Λ vs. C 1/2 plots, contrary to the typical decreasing plots, were reported for the following surfactants: tetradecylpentadecyl sulfate sodium salt 2 , dioctyl-and ethylhexyl-surfosucinate sodium salts 20 , hexadecyl-and octadexyl-pyridonium iodates 21 , octadecyl-triamyl and -tributyl ammonium bromates 22 , and dyes 23 . In addition, in suitable water-ethanol mixtures, a maximum was observed for octadecylpyridonium chloride, but no maximum was obtained in water alone 24 .…”

Synergism between anionic double tail and zwitterionic single tail surfactants in the formation of mixed micelles and vesicles, and use of the micelle templates for the synthesis of nano-structured gold particles

“…The AOT is known to easily form reverse micelles in the non-polar (oil) media: formation of the normal micelle and related properties of the AOT have been fairly studied [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. Moulik and Mukherjee [51a] have reviewed the physicochemical and the surface chemical properties of this versatile surfactant.…”
