The apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of aqueous mixtures of neutral polymers and ionic surfactants were measured at 25 °C. The polymers chosen were poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly(ethyleneoxide) (PEO) and the surfactants were the C8, C10, and C12 homologs of sodium alkylsulfates and the C10, C12, and C16 homologs of alkyltrimethylammonium bromides. The polymer–surfactant interactions depend on the nature of both components and on the chain length of the surfactant. The thermodynamic properties of the cationic surfactants are essentially the same in the absence and presence of polymer indicating little surfactant–polymer interaction. On the other hand, the thermodynamic properties of anionic surfactants are shifted, upon the addition of polymers, in the direction of enhanced hydrophobic association. The effect increases with the surfactant chain length and with the polymer concentration. The effect is larger with PVP than with PEO.

Excess volumes of the three binary mixtures: (1) cyclohexane – diethyl ketone, (2) cyclohexane–benzonitrile, and (3) toluene–benzonitrile have been measured at 303.15 K using a dilatometer. Excess volumes of the first two systems are positive over the whole range of composition and are negative for the third system. The measured excess volumes and the excess heats of mixing reported in the literature for the three binary systems have been analysed in the light of the statistical theory of liquid mixtures developed by Flory. The analysis has shown that the theory in its modified form is approximately applicable to the mixtures cyclohexane–diethylketone and cyclohexane–benzonitrile.
