The aggregation and interfacial behavior of mixtures of anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS) and cationic (dodecylammonium bromide, DTAB) surfactants were investigated. A room-temperature ionic liquid (IL) was explored as a solvent for the SDS/DTAB system and compared to water. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) and composition in mixed micelles were determined for both solvents. Our expe...

Our goal in this study was to investigate theoretically and experimentally the adsorption of ionic surfactants and the role of different factors in the mechanism of adsorption, the adsorption parameters and the structure of the adsorbed layer. We used available literature data for the interfacial tension, sigma, vs. concentration, C(s), for sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in three representative s...

In this study, two different non-ionic surfactants have been evaluated as a plasticizer in lithium polymer electrolytes and compared with an organic carbonate-based plasticizer. To that end, molecular weight structure selected (Triton� X-100 Brij�L23) carbonates (EC:DEC1:1) plasticizers electrolytes. The effect of the content, salt content surfactant characteristics on properties such ionic con...
