Abstract

The effect of aliphatic alcohols on the micellization of long alkyl chain cationic salts is generally observed as causing a reduction in their critical micelle concentrations. In a study examining for the effect of 2-phenylethanol on the thermodynamic activity of some alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides we have found, using an automated conductimetric titration method, that at low aromatic alcohol concentrations there is an increase in critical micelle concentrations followed by a fall at higher amounts. In this contribution we report on detailed studies examining the effect of a series of aromatic alcohols on the micellar properties of both alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides and alkylammonium bromides.
