Systematic Investigation of Sodium Alkylsulphate Micelles Using Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Positron Annihilation Techniques

  • Chapter
Surfactants in Solution

Abstract

The mean aggregation number n of different alkylsulphate (sodium octyl-, decyl-, dodecylsulphate) micelles has been systematically studied versus surfactant concentration (c = 0.03-0.8 mol/dm3) and solution temperature (T = 20-60 °C), by using the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and positron annihilation (PA) techniques. In the first case, the mean aggregation number has been determined from the least squares fitting of the product P(q)S(q) to the scattering intensity patterns. The single particle scattering function P(q) is assumed to arise from ellipsoidal-shaped monodisperse micelles; in contrast, the interparticle structure factor S(q) is determined by assuming monodisperse“mean” spherical scatterers interacting with a screened Coulomb potential.
