Chapter 3 Solutionof Surfactants Micelle Formation Applications §1 Solution Properties of Surfactants and CMC Changes in some physical properties of an aqueous solution of surfactants in the neighborhood of CMC such as sodium dodecyl sulfate 2. Micelle Formation and CMC Definition – the concentration at which this phenomenon occurs is called the critical micelle concentration (CMC) Formation mechanism Iceberg structure ?S?or ?G=?H-T?S? Surface activity Adsorption at interface or surface Formation micelle in solution phase (3) Determination Electrical conductivity Mo
