Abstract

AbstractThe surface properties and mixed micellization behavior of binary combinations of an ionic liquid surfactant, namely, 1‐tetradecyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide ([C14mim]Br) with common cationic surfactants viz. tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide and tetradecylpyridinium bromide in the presence of sodium bromide (NaBr) were investigated by surface tension and conductivity measurements. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and interfacial parameters, such as the maximum surface excess (Γmax), minimum area per molecule (Amin) and surface pressure at the CMC (πCMC) were determined from the surface tension data. The CMC and Γmax values were found to decrease with increasing salt concentrations. The and values are negative indicating the spontaneity of micelle formation.
