how micelles are obtained give also mechanism
Answers
The mechanism of micelle formation of surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), n-hexyldecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Triton X-100 (TX-100) in heavy water solutions was studied by 1H NMR (chemical shift and line shape) and NMR self-diffusion experiments. 1H NMR and self-diffusion experiments of these three surfactants show that their chemical shifts (delta) begin to change and resonance peaks begins to broaden with the increase in concentration significantly below their critical micelle concentrations (cmc's). At the same time, self-diffusion coefficients ( D) of the surfactant molecules decrease simultaneously as their concentrations increase. These indicate that when the concentrations are near and lower than their cmc's, there are oligomers (premicelles) formed in these three surfactant systems. Carefully examining the dependence of chemical shift and self-diffusion coefficient on concentration in the region just slightly above their cmc's, one finds that the pseudophase transition model is not applicable to the variation of physical properties (chemical shift and self-diffusion coefficient) with concentration of these systems. This indicates that premicelles still exist in this concentration region along with the formation of micelles. The curved dependence of chemical shift and self-diffusion coefficient on the increase in concentration suggests that the premicelles grow as the concentration increases until a definite value when the size of the premicelle reaches that of the micelle, i.e., the system is likely dominated by the monomers and micelles. Additionally, the approximate values of premicelle coming forth concentration (pmc) and cmc were obtained by again fitting chemical shifts to reciprocals of concentrations at a different perspective, and are in good accordant with experimental results and literature values and prove the former conclusion
Answer:
Answer:Micelles are formed by association of such molecule sin which both lyophilic and lyophobic parts are present . Such molecules are called surface active molecules .Example :Hydrocarbon chain in soap, sodium stearate C17 H35 COONa is lyophobic hydrophobic while - COONa is lyophilic or hydrophilic..The hydrocarbon tails are in the interior of the micelle and COO ions the surface . The grease stain absorbed in to the interior of the micelle which behaves like liquid hydrocarbon . As the strain is detached from the fabric , the dirt particles sticking to the strain are aslo removed.
