STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF MICELLES

Abstract

Research was conducted toward interpreting measurements on micelles, the critical micelle concentration, and the forces governing the formation of micelles. Tracer, electrophoresis, diffusion, light scattering, and conductivity methods of measurement are discussed. The collodoidal electrolytes studied included Na and Ag salts of lauryl, decyl, and tetradecyl sulfates. The structure of the micelle, the critical micelle concentration, and the dilute region are also discussed. The new techniques, interpretations, and data obtained considerably clarified the facts about the behavior of solutions of association colloids. It appears that the main difficulty is determining what the monomers are doing.
