Microcalorimetric study of some short-chain nonionic surfactants
Apparent enthalpies of mixing were measured for various surfactants of the general formula CH3-(CH2)(n-1)-(OCH2-CH2)(m)OH(CnEm) in aqueous solution at 25 degrees C. From the experimental data the enthalpies of micellization were obtained. The results are briefly discussed.
