The critical micelle concentration(CMC) of CTAB was determined with changes in absorbance at 202nm band of 4-biphenyl acetate($BPA^-$). With $BPA^-$ as a probe, the effect of temperature on CMC of CTAB has been observed between $30^{\circ}C{\sim}70^{\circ}C$. In this range of temperature the values of CMC are $1.18{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}2.02{\times}10^{-4}M$. The free energy(${\Delta}G^{\circ}m$) and enthalpy(${\Delta}H^{\circ}m$)for the micellization of CTAB was negative and the entropy(${\Delta}S^{\circ}m$) was a large positive value. The micellization of CTAB is considered as a spontaneous process and to involve a phase transition. The orientational binding of 4-biphenyl acetate anion to the CTAB micelle interface has been studied with $300MHz\;H^1-NMR$ data. The change in chemical shift of proton in CTAB as well as those of the protons in $BPA^-$ have been investigated by increasing the mole fraction of the anion in the mixed solutions. The changes in chemical shift with increasing mole fraction of anion($BPA^-$) indicate the formation of mixed micelle between CTAB and $BPA^-$. The changes in chemical shifts of methylene protons in CTAB, demonstrate the penetration of $BPA^-$ into the palisade layer of the CTAB micelle.

Mixed micelle formation behavior of cationic surfactant-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous as well as in urea medium from 303.15 K to 323.15 K at 5 K interval was carried out by conductometric method. The differences between the experimental values of critical micelle concentrations (cmc) and ideal critical micelle concentrations ($cmc^{id}$) illustrate the interaction between the amphiphiles studied. The values of micellar mole fraction ($X_1^{Rub}$ (Rubingh), $X_1^M$ (Motomura), $X_1^{Rod}$ (Rodenas) and $X_1^{id}$(ideal) of surfactant CTAB determined by different proposed models and outcome indicate high involvement of CTAB in SDS-CTAB mixed micellization, which enhance by means of the augment of mole fraction of CTAB. The negative value of interaction parameter (${\beta}$) showed an attractive interaction involving CTAB and SDS. Activity coefficients were less than unity in all case, which also reveals the presence of interaction between CTAB & SDS. The negative ${\Delta}G^0_m$ values imply the spontaneous mixed micellization phenomenon. The attained values of ${\Delta}H^0_m$ were positive at inferior temperature, while negative at superior temperature. The negative ${\Delta}H^0_m$ values in urea ($NH_2CONH_2$) medium illustrate exothermic micellization process. The magnitudes of ${\Delta}S^0_m$ were positive in almost all cases. The excess free energy of mixed micelle formation (${\Delta}G_{ex}$) was found to be negative, which indicates the stability of mixed micelle as compared to the individual's components micelles.

Cr(VI) reduction was successfully achieved in the presence of cationic micelles (CMs) under visible light illumination. Micelle formation of cationic surfactants seems to be critical in Cr(VI) reduction. Cr(VI) was reduced very fast above the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of CTAB solutions, but was not reduced at all either below or around the cmc of CTAB. The reduction rate of Cr(VI) was enhanced in the absence of dissolved oxygen, supporting that the removal of Cr(VI) should be achieved via a reductive pathway. When CTAB was substituted by Brij 35 or SDS, the reduction of Cr(VI) was negligible. This indicates that the electrostatic interaction between Cr(VI) and headgroups of surfactants is important in the visible light-induced Cr(VI) reduction in micellar solutions.

The critical micelle concentration(CMC) and the counterion binding $constant(\beta)$ at the CMC of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) in a series of aqueous solutions containing medium chain-length n-alcohols(Propanol, Butanol, Pentanol and Hexanol) have been determined from the concentration dependence of electrical conductance at serveral temperature from $17^{\circ}C\;to\;41^{\circ}C.$ Thermodynamic parameters $({\Delta}G^o_m,\;{\Delta}H^o_m,\;{\Delta}S^o_m,\;and\;{\Delta}C_p)$ associated with micelle formation of CTAB have been also estimated from the temperature dependence of CMC and $\beta$ values, and the significance of these parameters and their relation to the theory of micelle formation have been considered. The results show that an enthalpy-entropy compensation effect is usually observed for the micellization of CTAB. The effects of n-alcohols on the micellar properties (CMC and $\beta$) of CTAB solutions have been also investigated. The addition of n-alcohol to the CTAB solution in a small quantity decreases the CMC value and the counterion binding constant $(\beta)$ at the CMC, but the addition of n-alcohol in an excessive quantity increases the CMC values on the conterary. These results have been explained in terms of the effect of the micelle-solubilized alcohol on the micellar surface charge density.

The criticical micelle concentration (CMC) was measured by using the UV-Vis method for the micellization of the ammonium type cationic surfactants (DTAB, TTAB, and CTAB) in the aqueous aniline solution. The enthalpy change (${\Delta}H^0$) and entropy change (${\Delta}S^0$) were calculated from the dependence of Gibbs free energy change (${\Delta}G^0$) on the temperature for micellization of the cationic surfactants between 290K and 314K. The effects of n-butanol and sodium chloride on the micellization of cationic surfactants were measured and compared with the other thermodynamic functions. All the free energy changes (${\Delta}G^0$) of the micellization were negative, all the enthalpy change (${\Delta}H^0$) were negative, and all the entropy change (${\Delta}S^0$) were positive values, respectively. The micelle formation of cationic surfactant in aniline solution is a spontaneous exothermic reaction, and the iso-structural temperature calculated from the thermodynamic values show that enthalpy and entropy contribution to the micellization are almost the same for the micellization of cationic surfactants

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the counter-ion binding constant (B) for the mixed micellizations of TTAB (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide) with other surfactants (DTAB, CTAB, Tween-20, Tween-40, and Tween-80) in aqueous solution of 4-chlorobenzoic acid (0.5 mM) at $25^{\circ}C$ were determined as a function of ${\alpha}_1$ (the overall mole fraction of TTAB) by using the spectrophotometric method and the conductivity method. Various thermodynamic parameters ($X_i$, ${\gamma}_i$, $C_i$, $a_i^M$, ${\beta}$, and ${\Delta}H_{mix}$) were calculated for each mixed surfactant system and compared with the other mixed surfactant systems by means of the equations derived from the nonideal mixed micellar model. The results show that TTAB/DTAB mixed system has a great positive deviation from the ideal mixed micellar model and the other mixed systems have great negative deviations from the ideal mixed model.

계면활성제용액에 서로 다른 기능을 하는 두 종류의 첨가제를 투입하여 미셀의 미 세구조 전이현상을 규명하였다. 양이온 계면활성제는 CMC 이상의 농도에서 2단계의 미세 구조 전이거동을 나타낸다. 우선 구형 미셀은 첨가제의 투입에 의하여 표면에서의 친수성기 간의 반발력이 감소됨으로써 실린더형 또는 디스크형미셀로 전이가 일어난다. 더욱 농도가 증가하면 이방성을 가지는 실린더형 미셀간의 중첩 또는 hooking 현상에 의한 두 번째 전 이가 일어난다. 이때 미셀 용액은 흔히 점탄성을 나타내거나 확연한 비뉴톤성 유체거동을 나타낸다. 본 연구에선 heptanol의 화확구조적 차이가 물성에 나타내는효과를 규명하고 wormlike 미셀을 형성하는 MaSal에 의한 점탄성 거동을 살펴보았다. Heptanol의 화학구조 의 영향을 보면 약친수성기인 OH기가 알킬그룹과 나란하게 존재하여 밀집된 구조를 가지 기 쉬운 primary heptanol이 가장효과적으로 미세구조 전이를 유도함을 관찰하였다. 다른 이성질 hetanol의 경우 secondary heptanol이 teriary heptanol에 비하여 효과적임을 보이지 만 화학재할수 있는 농도범위가 매우 좁아 대부분 영역에서 비뉴톤성거동을 나타냄을 확인 하였다. 즉 NaSal를 사용한 경우 실린더형 미셀이 존재할 수 있는농도범위가 매우 좁아 대 부분 영역에서 비뉴톤성 거동을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 즉 NaSal 이 첨가된 용액은 선형점탄 성거동을 보이며 몰비가 증가함에 따라 scission 과정이 관찰되었다. 또한 몰농도비에 따라 항복응력과 shear thickening 특징을 보이는데 이는 흐름장의 세기에 따라 미세구조 변화가 일어나기 때문이다.

Benoxaprofen (2-(4-chlorophenyl)-${\alpha}$ -methyl-5-benzoxazole acetic acid) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that causes acute cutaneous phototoxicity. The ability of benoxaprofen (BXP) and its photoproduct, decarboxybenoxaprofen (DBXP) to photosensitize the decomposition of tryptophan was evaluated in various media such as water, ethanol and aqueous micellar dispersions of surfactants. The weak photosensitization of BXP in water was found to be enhanced in cationic CTAB micelle system, but yielded little difference in anionic SDS micelles. In ethanol solution, BXP was determined to photosensitize the decomposition of tryptophan, but no photosensitization was observed with DBXP. All of these results implicate that the anion radical of BXP may play a major role in the photosensitization in hydrophobic micellar phase, forming superoxide through interaction with oxygen as demonstrated by observation that the photosensitization was inhibited by superoxide dismutase.

The cobalt titanate, $CoTiO_3$ nanoparticles have been prepared by calcinations of precursor obtained from a mixture of $TiO_2$ and $Co(OH)_2$ in aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) solution. The nanoparticles were investigated with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) to determine the crystallite size and the phase composition. The spectroscopic characterizations of these nanoparticles were also done with UV-Vis spectroscopy and FT-Raman spectroscopy. XRD patterns show that $CoTiO_3$ phase was formed at calcinations temperature above 600 ${^{\circ}C}$. UV-Vis absorption spectra indicate that the $CoTiO_3$ nanoparticles have significant red shift to the visible region (400-700 nm) with $\lambda_{max}$ = 500 nm compared to pure $TiO_2$ powder ($\lambda_{max}$ = 320 nm). The new absorption peaks (absorption at 696, 604, 520, 478,456, 383, 336, 267, 238, 208 $c m ^{-1}$), which were not appeared in FT-Raman spectra of P-25, also confirm the formation of Ti-O-Co bonds at above 600 ${^{\circ}C}$ and just not the mixtures of titanium dioxide with cobalt oxides.
