TL;DR: In this paper, the thermodynamics of micelle formation of ionic surfactants, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC), and sodium salt of dioctyl sulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT or AOT), have been thoroughly assessed from microcalorimetric, conductometric, and tensiometric measurements, and results have been rationalized in terms of physicochemical concepts and relations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral absorption and the shift in the λmax of l2 upon complexation have been exploited to determine the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of Tweens, Brijs, and Triton X-100.

TL;DR: The results have been analyzed in terms of the equations of Clint, Motomura, Rosen, Rubingh, Blankschtein et al. for justification of the experimental cmc, determination of micellar composition parameters, quantification of interaction among the mixed micelle components, and estimation of their activity coefficients.

TL;DR: The kinetics of curcumin self-degradation has been found to be fairly dependent on salt (NaCl) concentration, and the reversibility of the steady state fluorescence anisotropy ofCurcumin on heating and cooling conditions has been examined.

TL;DR: The interaction of the surfactants cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate with the biopolymers gelatin, lysozyme and deoxyribonucleic acid was studied by isothermal titration microcalorimetry at varied biopolymer concentration, pH and temperature.
