Order parameter profile of perfluorinated chains in a micelle
Cesium perfluorooctanoate surfactant molecules, dissolved in water and aggregated into micelles, are investigated by F-19-decoupled C-13 NMR relaxation experiments at three different magnetic fields. The data estimate the order parameter profile of the perfluorooctanoate chain which differs both in magnitude and in shape from the order parameter profile of protonated octanoate.
