Abstract

The physicochemical properties of solutions of mixtures of cationic (cetiltrimethylammonum bromide) and nonionic (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate) surfactant, i.e., Tween-80, have been studied. The critical concentration of micellization, adsorption at the interface of a mixture of surfactants solution/air, and the minimum area occupied by a surfactant molecule have been determined. It was shown that, in the whole region of ratios between surfactants, sinergic effects are observed for both micellization and for the process of adsorption at the interface of a mixture of surfactants solution/air. The results obtained have been analyzed according to the regular solution theory (RST).
