Surfactant-Mediated Synthesis and Stabilization of Colloidal Nanoparticles in Aqueous Media: A Preliminary Study on Controlling Parameters
Abstract: Surfactants dissolved in water possess a distinctive tendency to accumulate at surfaces or interfaces, a process that involves the migration of surfactant molecules from the bulk liquid phase to the interfacial region. This adsorption tendency of surfactants is being exploited in stabilization of the Nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized through colloidal chemistry routes. In present research, preliminary studies on controlling parameters involving various surfactants has been carried out to standardized the chemical …

An Experimental Investigation on the Determination of Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) Of Various Surfactants Using the Surface Tension Method
Abstract: This study primarily focuses on the experimental investigation for determining the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of various surfactants that are commonly employed to enhance the stability of nanoparticles in base fluids. In this context, three surfactants belonging to the anionic category—Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), and the bio-surfactant Rhamnolipid—were selected, along with one non-ionic polymer, Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which is used as a surfactant. The CMC of each …
