Ma. Morini et al., PARTIAL MOLAR VOLUME OF DODECYLTRIMETHYLAMMONIUM HYDROXIDE IN WATER AND NAOH AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS, Colloid and polymer science, 276(8), 1998, pp. 738-742
The partial molar volume of dodecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide in wate
r and aqueous NaOH solutions was measured. The addition of NaOH did no
t affect either the micellized or the unmicellized molecules. The expa
nsion on micellization is much larger than in dodecyltrimethylammonium
bromide systems, which reflects the stronger ionization of the hydrox
ide surfactant micelles, when compared with that of the bromide amphip
hile.
