Abstract: | The anionic dye 8-anilino-1-napthalensulfonic acid ammonium salt, or ANS, was used as a fluorescent probe to investigate the behaviour of dye-surfactant interactions in aqueous solutions of Triton X-100 and the Brij and polyoxyethylene tridecyl ether (POE TDE) series of polyoxyethylene non-ionic surfactants. The fluorescence behaviour of the dye with the non-ionic surfactants was examined in micellar media. The concentration of surfactant was kept well above the cmc to investigate the interaction of the dye with surfactant micelles. In this investigation, the relative fluorescence enhancements, binding constants of the dye to the surfactant micelles and aggregation numbers of the micelles were determined, from the analysis of spectroscopic data. |
