Abstract
The behaviors of low-concentration aqueous solutions of 10-undecenoic acid and its sodium salt were studied by several techniques. The acid does not have a critical micelle concentration, but gives an emulsion of very small droplets at (0.8–1) × 10−4 mol dm−3. The emulsion was clearly visible by eye at 0.002 mol dm−3. The sodium salt has a stepwise aggregation process, giving premicellar aggregates at 0.023 ± 0.008 mol dm−3, which grow to form micelles at 0.117 ± 0.007 mol dm−3. The compositions of the solution and the micelles were also studied.
