Influence of short-chain alcohols on the micellization parameters of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)

The influence of short-chain alcohol on the aggregation behavior of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) is investigated within a wide range of alcohol concen tration by potentiometric technique. It is observed that aggregation behavi or of SDS is a function of alcohol concentration. Variation of micellizatio n parameters are studied in a wide range of alcohol concentration and the t rend of changing of micellization parameters have been investigated. The va riations of micellization parameters show several regularities. Finally, th e relationships between these regularities and alcohol-surfactant interacti ons have been explained.
