Abstract: | The effects of Tris-HCl buffer solution on the cmc of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were studied by surface tension measurement. The result shows that the effect of the buffer solution depends on the interaction between CTAB and NaCl and the structure accelerants of water, Tris. A series of parameters, including the critical micelle concentration (cmc), the surface tension at cmc (γcmc), the adsorption efficiency (pC20), and the effectiveness of surface tension reduction (∏cmc) were obtained from the surface tension measurements in the presence of glycine with different concentration in the Tris-HCl buffer solution at 27°C. In addition, maximum surface excess concentration (Γ max) and minimum surface area per molecule (Amin) at the air-water interface were estimated according to the Gibbs adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters (Δ C p,m , Δ H m,tr , Δ C p,m,tr ) of micellization for CTAB in the absence and presence of glycine at different temperature were also been obtained. |
