Abstract
The measurement of ultrasonic velocity and density as a function of temperature and concentration of additives were carried out. The variation of ultrasonic velocity and density of micellar solution of Polyoxyethylene (20) cetyl ether (Brij-58, CMC= 0.0086% w/v) in the presence of polymer PVP and PEO were studied at 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15K. Various acoustic parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (?ad), molar volume (Vm), intermolecular free length (Lf), acoustic impedance (Z) and surface tension (?) of aqueous solution of Brij-58 and Brij-58-polymer mixed solutions were derived from these data. The results were discussed on the basis of polymer-surfactant interactions and hydrophobic interaction, which in turn depends upon the structural arrangement of the linkages involved and difference in the chain which binds the hydrophobic and hydrophilic group in the studied surfactant molecule. It was noted that the ultrasound velocity decreases with increase in temperature. The decrease in the value of ?ad and Lf with increase in ultrasonic velocity indicates that there is significant interaction between the surfactant molecule and added polymer PVP and PEO.
