Popis: The micellization and adsorption of two short chain perfluorodiols 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-nonafluorohexane-1,2-diol (nFHD) and 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctane-1,2-diol (tFOD) are examined from a thermodynamic point of view as a function of temperature and methanol content. The microenvironment of the fluorinated aggregates is evaluated by the fluorescence probe method using pyrene and a molecular rotor 1,1-dicyano-4-p-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,3-butadiene (DMAPhC). The formation of micellar aggregates being evidenced, the results are discussed in terms of the polarity and of the cohesion behavior of the micellar aggregates by taking into account the methanol (MeOH) effect. The critical micellization concentrations thus determined are compared with those given by surface tension measurements. Micellar and adsorption thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energies, enthalpies, and entropies are determined together with the surface areas. The results are compared with literature data and discussed. A model for describing the adsorption process of the fluorinated compounds upon the influence of methanol is finally proposed.
