Abstract

In the present study, we have investigated the effect of nature of surfactant, chain length and counter-ion on the mixed micellization behaviour ofvarious cationic surfactants, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB), dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) and cationic gemini surfactant, bis(tetradecyldimethylammonium)hexane dibromide(C14-6-C14,2Br) with surface active ionic liquid (SAIL) tetradecylisoquinolinium bromide [C14iQuin][Br]. The interactions and mixed micellar behaviour of cationic surfactants and SAIL in aqueous medium have been studied by employing conductometry measurements and 1H NMR technique. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) and various thermodynamic parameters like standard Gibbs free energy of micellization (ΔGm0), change in standard enthalpy (ΔHm0) and entropy of micellization (ΔSm0) have been calculated from conductometry measurements. Mixed micellar parameters such as ideal cmc (cmc*), micellar mole fraction (X1m), micellar interaction parameter (βm) and activity coefficients, (f1 and f2) have been evaluated by applying Clint, Rubingh and Motomura theoretical models. Synergistic and non-ideal interactions have been found between SAIL and surfactants.
