Neutron small angle scattering studies of micellar growth in mixed anionic-nonionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, and hexaethylene glycol monododecyl ether, C12E6, in the presence and absence of solubilized alkane, hexadecane

Small angle neutron scattering, SANS, has been used to investigate the structure of mixed ionic-nonionic surfactant micelles of SDS and C12E6. For solution compositions rich in C12E6, the evolution of micelle size with composition exhibits a pronounced maximum, in qualitative agreement with the theo...
