“…Comparing the effect of the presence of porphyrin in the G 0 m is worth noticing that the stability of C 12 TAB micelles is not affected by the presence of porphyrin, whilst for C 16 Since the variation of H 0 m results from the sum of different interactions, such as chain dehydration for micelle formation, hydrophobic interactions between the hydrocarbon chains, ionic interactions between the head ionic groups and counterions, etc., it is difficult, and somewhat speculative, to try to assign accurately the factors responsible for such variations. However, we can hypothesize that the screening of the electrostatic interactions as a consequence of the presence of H 2 TPPS 4− monomers in solution, reduces the enthalpy of micellization, i.e., favoring C n TAB micelle formation [38].
