Ml. Antonelli et al., SOLUTION PROPERTIES OF OCTYL-BETA-D-GLUCOSIDE .2. THERMODYNAMICS OF MICELLE FORMATION, Colloid and polymer science, 272(6), 1994, pp. 704-711
Solution properties of octyl-beta-D-glucoside have been examined in a
wide temperature and concentration range, by means of freezing point d
epression, volumetric and calorimetric methods. Partial molal quantiti
es and the variations consequent to micellization have been evaluated
and discussed. Strong support to the hypothesis of a growth of the mic
ellar aggregates was inferred from heat capacity findings.
