Abstract
The micellization properties, solubilization capability, and catalytic effect of conventional nonionic surfactants and amphiphilic compounds of oligomeric (Tyloxapol) and polymeric (Synperonic F-68, Pluronic F-127) structure were compared. The systems studied demonstrate a marked catalytic effect toward basic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl laurate, which exceeds the effect of aqueous alkali solutions by two orders of magnitude. Correlations between the solubilization capacity of aggregates and their catalytic effect were observed. The maximum efficiency was found for the Tyloxapol solution. The synergetic enhancement of the catalytic effect was observed for the mixed Tyloxapol-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide systems in the presence of small amounts of cationic surfactant
