Investigation on the mixed micellar systems of cationic surfactants with propylene glycol and its oligomers

On mixed binary surfactant systems comprising MEGA 10 and alkyltrimethylammonium bromides: A detailed physicochemical study with a critical analysis

“…In this study, the parameter was found to be composition dependent like earlier reports on anionicnonionic mixtures of sodium oleate with the alcohol ethoxylates and that of sodium decylsulfate with poly(oxyethylene) glycol n-nonylphenyl ethers [36][37][38]. We have herein reported the average values (g ave ) as very often done [2,17,39] to assess the extent of interaction. The g ave were found to be −1.52, −0.88, and −0.65 for MEGA 10-C 16 TAB, MEGA 10-C 14 TAB, and MEGA 10-C 12 TAB combinations, respectively.…”

Influence of Nonionic Surfactant on Alkaline Hydrolysis of Methyl Violet Catalyzed by Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide

“…Even, naturally occurring surfactants are found to be mixtures. [6,7] There has been a persistent tendency toward replacement of individual surfactants by their mixtures which find potential applications in the areas like detergency, food and cosmetic productions, pharmaceuticals, enhanced oil recovery, and surfactant-based separation processes, textiles and paint productions. [8][9][10][11] Mixed micelles formed by ionic and nonionic surfactants attracted attention of many workers owing to their extended colloidal stability compared with micelles formed by pure nonionic surfactants.…”

Influence of Ionic Surfactants on the Formation of Liquid Crystals in Oleic Acid/Glycol/Water Systems

“…These low surfactant contents stand out against the usual required surfactant percentages in liquid crystals [6][7][8]. This could occur because in aqueous media, certain glycols can form a new structure involving hydrogen bonding between the water molecules and the OH free group of glycol, in which media the aggregation conditions of the surfactant can be noticeably modified as has been speculated in other studies [9][10][11].…”
