Abstract

Binding isotherms of two types of ionic surfactants, CmH2m +1SO4Na (m = 8,10,12) and CnH2n + 1N+(CH3)3C1 (n=10, 12), to human hair in aqueous solutions were examined to clarify effects of hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction of ionic surfactants with hair. The binding isotherms of anionic surfactants showed cooperativity with discontinuously increasing shapes, while the binding isotherms of cationic surfactants showed a Langmuir-type, regardless of the difference of a hair condition.
