Interaction between cationic and conventional nonionic surfactants in the mixed micelle and monolayer formed in aqueous medium

Abstract: Mixed micellization and surface properties of cationic and nonionic surfactants dimethyl decyl-, tetradecyl-and hexadecyl phosphineoxide mixtures are studied using conductivity and surface tension measurements. The models of Rubingh, Rosen, and Clint, are used to obtain the interaction parameter, minimum area per molecule, mixed micelle composition, free energies of mixing and activity coefficients. The micellar mole fractions were always higher than ideal values indicating high contributions of cationics in m… Show more

“…It is predictable since the CMC values of the nonionic surfactants are related to the number of carbon atoms in their hydrophobic chain. Increasing the hydrophobic chain length reduce the CMC value [12]. Addition of cationic surfactant to nonionic surfactants results in decreasing the CMC values while there is no significant change in surface tension.…”

“…The solubilization in binary micellar systems has frequently been used with the objective of achieving the synergistic effect. [27][28][29] In these studies the synergistic effect was positive because it increased the solubility of hydrophobic drugs and assigned some systems thermoreversible characteristics.…”

“…This may be due to the coiling of the ethoxylated chains of the nonionic surfactant (C 18-1 E 20 ) around the charged head group (pyridinium ion) of the cationic surfactant molecule (CPC), hence reducing the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged surfactant head groups, as well as to steric interaction between the tails which favours micelle formation [19]. As a result of the presence of a cationic head group in combination with a bulky nonionic polyoxyethylene head group in the mixed micelle, the CMC value is reduced and hence non-ideality is observed [20].…”

“…Commercially, nonionic surfactants containing fatty alcohol ethoxylates are used in pharmaceutical and healthcare applications. Polyoxyethylene (20) oleyl ether (C 18-1 E 20 ) is generally used for high-level soluble expression of different integral membrane proteins [8], whereas cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) is used, for instance, in mouthwashes and nasal sprays. It can also be used as an antiseptic which kills microorganisms, and it also helps to reduce dental plaque and gingivitis [9].…”
