“…The solution properties and the surface properties also vary with pH. The pH (the protonation degree) dependence of the various solution properties, such as the titration behavior [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] , the critical micelle concentration (cmc) [12][13][14][15][16][17] , the micelle aggregation number 18,19) , the micelle size 7,18,20) , and the aggregate structures [21][22][23][24][25][26] , received much attention. In particular, it is noteworthy that the cmc values and the micelle aggregation number for dodecyldimethylamine oxide (C12DMAO) showed minimum and maximum, respectively, when the degree of ionization, a, is around 0.5 (that is, cationic species: nonionic species ≈ 1:1) 19) .…”
