The electrical conductivity of four surfactants, sodium caprylate, sodium laurate sodium palmitate and sodium stearate in molten acetamide has been determined at 90Β°C. Conductivity measurements show that micelles are formed in acetamide solution. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) has been determi

## Abstract Investigations on the selfβassembly of block copolymers in solution have in some way a less wellβstudied history than the study of their phase separation in the solid state, and many aspects are yet not completely understood. Here we focus on the behavior of a specific class of copolyme
Abstraet--A calorimetric study was made of micelle formation by a polystyrene-b-polyisoprene block copolymer in n-hexadecane which is a selectively bad solvent for polystyrene. A value of -44.0 + 4.0 kJ mol-~ was obtained for the enthalpy of micellisation, in good agreement with a value of -40.7 +2.
