Abstract
Significant correlations become apparent between synergisms of micelle formation in surfactant mixtures and a series of physico-chemical properties and applications. Examples are emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, flotation, washing and cleaning ability. As a result, the effect of a co-surfactant with respect to problems of application can be predicted by a few surface tension measurements only.
