Detailed physicochemical study and thermodynamic aspects of the interaction between nonionic cellulose derivative hydroxyethyl cellulose and anionic surfactant sodium N-dodecanoyl sarcosinate in aqueous media

Comparative Study of the Aggregation Behavior of Some Ionic Surfactants with Nonionic Triton X-114 in Water and a Water/2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol Mixture

“…In recent years, a broad community of surface chemists has shown a great deal of scientific interest in the physicochemical modifications of surface-active agents in an attempt to improve the functionality of surfactant formulations. In this context, various additives, including salts, solvents, polymers, drugs, etc., have been introduced to the micellar environment of amphiphilic systems to achieve the desired features with various industrial importance in cosmetics, food products, enhanced oil recovery, and pharmaceuticals . Among all the additives, nonaqueous alcohol solvents have been examined mostly in amphiphile-water-solvent ternary systems using both theoretical and experimental approaches. − The exceptional solubilizing and hydrogen bonding potential of alcohols distinguish them as solvents of choice .…”
