Abstract
Micellar solutions of the cationic surfactant 1-bromo-4-tridecylpyridi ne in water and sodium bromide-water were studied by small-angle neutr on scattering. The data were modelled for two-shell ellipsoids with a screening Coulomb potential. The dependences of micellar aggregation n umber, fractional charge, electrical charge and surface Coulomb potent ial on surfactant concentration, ionic strength of the solution and te mperature were obtained. The micellar electrical charge decreases with increasing ionic strength of the solution but does not change with in creasing temperature. The changes in the Gibbs free energy and the val ue of surface tension of the micellar surface (similar to 0.5 mN m(-1) ) were determined. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
