Xz. Ren et al., STUDIES ON THE CRITICAL MICELLE CONCENTRA TION OF N-ALKYLBETAINES BY FLUORESCENCE PROBE, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 16(8), 1995, pp. 1295-1297
The fluorescence characteristics of I-5/I-1, and I-3/I-1 of pyrene whi
ch is sensitive to the environment of probe was used to study the crit
ical micelle concentration(cmc) of N-dodecylbetaine and N-tetradecylbe
taine. The effect of salt concentration on the cmc values was studied.
Tile results obtained indicate that cmc values determined from the pa
rameters I-5/I-1, of pyrene are close to that from the surface tension
measurements, and more accurate than that from I-3/I-1.
