Abstract: | In this study the mixed micelle behavior of an alkyl polyglycoside is compared to a surfactant of polyoxyethylene type, by means of surface tension measurements. The two nonionic surfactants are compared in mixed micelle systems together with an anionic surfactant. The surfactant mixtures are: decyl-beta-maltoside (C(10)M) with dodecyl benzenesulfonate (C(12)BS) and octaethyleneglycol mono n-decyl ether (C(10)EO(8)) with C(12)BS. The mixture of C(10)M and C(10)EO(8) is also studied. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the concentration at which the surface tension reduction is 20 mNm(-1) (C(20)) are determined at different mixing ratios of the surfactant mixtures. By applying the nonideal mixed micelle theory, interaction parameters at CMC (beta(CMC)) and C(20) (beta(C20)) are calculated for the surfactant mixtures. The results show that the C(10)M-C(12)BS mixture has a beta(CMC) parameter of -2.1, whereas the beta(CMC) parameter for the C(10)EO(8)-C(12)BS mixture is -3.3, indicating a weaker net attractive interaction between C(10)M and C(12)BS than between C(10)EO(8) and C(12)BS. This is attributed to a small negative and positive charge of the respective nonionic surfactants. This is supported by a slightly negative beta(CMC) parameter obtained for the surfactant mixture C(10)M-C(10)EO(8), indicating a small net attractive interaction between the two nonionic surfactants.
