Determination of Aggregation Parameters of Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide from Probe Absorption |

| Authors: | O A Amire F E Layemo H D Burrows |
| Abstract: | The mean aggregation number (n) and the critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of reverse micelles formed by hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide have been determined by means of an optical absorption probe (acridine orange). The procedure to obtain these quantities from absorption spectrophotometric measurements is described. The CMC and mean aggregation number are in satisfactory agreement with published results obtained from more sophisticated methods. |
