J. Bach et al., ENTHALPIES OF MICELLE FORMATION BY HEXADECYLTRIMETHYLAMMONIUM BROMIDEIN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION CONTAINING PENTANOL, Journal of physical organic chemistry, 8(2), 1995, pp. 108-112
Titration calorimetric data show a dramatic change from endo- to exoth
ermic deaggregation when pentanol-hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (
CTAB) mixed solutions are injected into an aqueous solution containing
pentanol. The results are interpreted in terms of a change in the str
uctures of the aggregates in solution from simple CTAB micelles to mix
ed amphiphilic microheterogeneities when pentanol is added.
