The critical micelle concentration (CMC) for a series of cationic surfactants N-Alkyltrimethylammonium i.e. (C n TAC, n=12,14,16,18) have been determined by electrical conductivity and surface tension methods. The interaction of anionic dye Eriochrome Black T (EBT) with cetyl-trimethylammonium chloride and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) has been investigated spectrophotometrically. The binding constant (K b ) and the surface excess (Γ) were calculated. The results show that with increasing the surfactants alkyl chain lengths, CMC and minimum area (A min ) decreases, while the surface excess concentrations increase. It has been found that the binding constant of CPC is double -fold that than of the binding constant of cetyl-trimethylammonium chloride (C 16 TAC).
