The influence of the surfactant charge on micellization was studied on
sodium n-dodecanephosphonates, varying the charge of the surfactant i
on from 0 to 2. The effects on the cmc-hydrolysis, micelle composition
, and micelle ionization degree were studied. The increase of one e un
it in the charge of the surfactant species reduces the cmc by about on
e order of magnitude.
