Popis: | This paper discusses how ultrasonic relaxation and conductance studies of alcohol (1-pentanol or 1-butanol)-DTAB-water mixed micelles reveal two relaxation frequencies related to the exchange of monomer surfactant and of alcohol between the micelles and the bulk phase. Conductance and time-resolved fluorescence measurements were used to obtain the alcohol distribution coefficients, micelle ionization, critical micellar concentration, and the alcohol and surfactant mean aggregation numbers. Using two models (Aniansson and Hall & Wyn-Jones), information about the forward and backward rate constants, polydispersity of the mixed micelles and the change in volumes of the two exchange processes are obtained and compared with 1-propanol-DTAB-water. Alcohol chain length influence on thermodynamics and kinetics is also discussed. 16 refs., 12 figs., 6 tabs. |
