Ultramicroelectrode voltammetric measurements have been made on Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) in aqueous solutions using K4Fe(CN)6 as the electroactive probe and H2SO4 as the supporting electrolyte. By extrapolation, the SDS micellar diffusion coefficient (D
m), hydrodynamic radius (R
m), aggregation number (n), and the molecular weight of SDS micellar in aqueous solutions at various surfactant concentrations are obtained. The partition coefficients, KD
, of the electroactive probe between micelle and water continuous phase are also estimated. The results suggest that the probe is sensitive to the surfactant concentration and reflect the changes of the structure and the hydrophobic nature of micelles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
