Micellar Growth in Mixed Cationic-Nonionic Surfactants Systems

The book reports the effect of mixed surfactants system on relative counterion binding constant and couterion-induced micellar growth using piperidinolysis of phenyl salicylate as a kinetic probe. The behaviour of a micelle-forming cationic surfactant, under different conditions, has been investigated using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Rheometric measurements were conducted to ascertain the results obtained from the kinetic studies.
