The use of ion-selective electrodes to determine the effective degree of micelle dissociation in tetradecylpyridinium bromide solutions

Abstract

A surfactant membrane electrode selective to the tetradecylpyridinium cation has been constructed and used with various ion-selective electrodes to evaluate the effective degree of micelle dissociation of tetradecylpyridinium bromide micelles. Four different approaches have been used to evaluate this parameter and in three cases the results are consistent.
