Novel fluorescent probe as aggregation predictor and micro-polarity reporter for micelles and mixed micelles

Smoothly shifting fluorescent windows: a tunable “off-on-off” micellar sensor for pH

“…The micellar aggregation number (AN) of the TX100-SDS mixed system has already been investigated. 21 At any proportion of the two surfactants AN is between 140 (c SDS ¼ 0, AN of pure TX100) and 60 (c SDS ¼ 1, AN of pure SDS). The average molar concentration of micelles [MC], can be easily calculated in these two limiting cases, as [MC] ¼ (1.53 Â 10 À2 -cmc)/AN, obtaining [MC]¼ 1.08 Â 10 À4 for pure TX100 and 1.2 Â 10 À4 for pure SDS.…”

Studies of mixed micelle formation between cationic gemini and cationic conventional surfactants

“…This method involves the use of a hydrophobic fluorescence dye which exhibits different fluorescence characteristics depending upon the properties of solubilizing medium. The changes in these characteristics are used to determine the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and other micellar properties [32][33][34].…”

Investigating Two-Photon-Induced Fluorescence in Rhodamine-6G in Presence of Cetyl-Trimethyl-Ammonium-Bromide

“…Several techniques have been extensively used for determining CMC, aggregate number and the interaction between surfactant and dye molecule [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Fluorescent probe methods [22][23][24][25][26] are one of the most widely used techniques for the characterization of micelle.…”
