β¦ Synopsis
Using the method of dynamic light scattering we have measured the diffusion coefficients D of cetyltrimethykmmonium hydroxide (CTAOH) micelles as a function of CTAOH and NaOH coxentrations at 25Β°C for 0.01 < [CTAOH] < 0.05 M and 0.02 d @IaOH] < 0.5 M. Substantial enhancements in the diffusivity were observed at low [NaO?kIl due to the presence of strong intermicekr electrostatic repulsions. We obtained good theoretical fits to the D versus [mAOH]. maOH] data over the range 0.01~ [NaOH] 4 05 M using linear interaction theory (including both thermodynamic and hydrodynamic corrections to D) with a DLVO-type pair interaction potential From these fits we obtained estimates of the mean micellar hydrodmc radius, R h = 23.4 & and the micellar ~'i-actional ionization, (I = 0.5.

Dynamic light scattering measurements have been performed on micellar solutions of undecylammonium chloride in the presence of 0 to 0.5 mol dm(-3) n-butanol and 0 to 0.2 mol dm(-3) sodium chloride. The results support opposing effects of these additives on micellar growth, with the n-butanol causing
