Abstract

Effect of p-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on micellization of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solution was investigated by twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) dual fluorescence of sodium p-dimethylaminobenzoate (SDMAB). It was shown that β-CD induces the micellization of CTAB and the aggregation of CTAB below CMC as well. A reduced charge density at CTAB micelle interface in the presence of β-CD, due to the incorporation of 1:1 CTAB-β-CD inclusion complex in micelle, was concluded to be the reason for β-CD induced micellization of CTAB.
