ROLE OF INTER-MICELLAR INTERACTION ON MICELLAR GROWTH

Small angle neutron-scattering and viscosity measurements from 0.1 M C TAC solutions with varying concentrations of KBr(C = 0.0 to 0.1 M) and KCI (C = 0.0-1.0 M) are reported. When compared with similar data on CTAB solutions, these data suggest that the difference in the micellar growths in the above systems is not connected with the common ion eff ect. It has been found that the inter-micellar interactions in CTAC/KC l and CTAC/KBr are different and that leads to differences in the grow th of micelles.
