The mechanism of luminescence by laser light on aqueous solution surfactants

In this study the mechanism of luminescence of aqueous solution surfactants has been considered. It is shown that at the point of micellization the in tensity of luminescence non-linearity depends on aggregate size. Experiment al results on the action of laser light on aqueous solutions of sodium octy lbenzene sulphonate confirm that in the process of photoionization active p arts are taken by not only donor electrons solubilized in micelles but also electrons of surfactant molecules.
