Micellization Behavior of Conventional Cationic Surfactants within Glycerol-Based Deep Eutectic Solvent.

ABSTRACT: The aggregation behavior of two cationic surfactants, i.e., cetyldimethylethanolammonium bromide (CDMEAB) and cetyltributylphosphonium bromide (CTBPB), within an aqueous deep eutectic solvent (DES) is studied. The synthesized DES is composed of 1:2 mole ratio of choline chloride and glycerol and is further characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and 1H NMR spectroscopy techniques. The critical micellar concentration (CMC), micellar size, and intermolecular interaction in surfactants within Gly-based DES solutions are investigated by various techniques including surface tension, conductivity, fluorescence, dynamic light scattering (DLS), FTIR, 1H NMR, and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY). The various interfacial properties and thermodynamic para
