Abstract

The enthalpy-entropy compensation in ionic surfactant micellization process over a large temperature range is examined. The surfactants SDS and C16TAB are investigated experimentally, and the enthalpy and entropy changes are evaluated based on phase separation or mass action models together with the other three surfactant systems. The relationship between compensation temperature and the reference temperatures is discussed.
