Interactions taking place in aqueous solutions when cationic surfactants, alkyl trimethyl ammonium bromides (CnTABs, dodecyl or octadecyl), are added to solutions of anionic surfactants, like alkyl dithiocarbonates (xanthates, hexyl or nonyl) and dodecyl sulfate or laurate ions, result either in the formation of 1:1 complexes or in mixed micelles. Infrared and ultraviolet spectra show that complexes are largely ionic, with some perturbations of bonds in anions and a limited hydrolysis in the case of laurate ions.

The influence of cationic, anionic, nonionic surfactants and their mixtures on the fluorescence characteristics of rhodamine 6G and Rho-damine C solutions has been investigated. The fluorescence intensity of aqueous solutions of rhodamine 6G and in the presence of cetylpyridinium chloride and sodium dodecyl sulfate has almost unchanged throughout the pH range. The fluorescence intensity of aqueous and water-micellar rhodamine C solutions has been increased in the pH 1-4 range; the signal has been remained unchanged at high pH values. The studies have been carried out at pH 4 for rhodamine 6G and at pH 10 for rhodamine C. The fluorescence characteristics of water-micellar dye - surfactant - non-ionic surfactant systems have been performed at a concentration of Triton X-100 of 3.4·10‑2 mol/l. The interaction with cationic surfactants has shown differences character between the I=f(n) dependences for aqueous solutions of highly hydrophobic rhodamine 6G and more hydrophilic rhodamine C. The study of the effect of the hydrocarbon radical length on the intensity of the fluorescence of rhodamine 6G and rhodamine C has been carried out at two concentrations of cationic surfactants: under the condition of the formation of stoichiometric associates dye with cationic surfactant and in the region of the micellar concentrations of cationic surfactants. The character of the influence of the length of the hydrocarbon radical cationic surfactants on the fluorescence intensity of the dyes can be explained by the increasing role of hydrophobic interactions and the enhancement of solubilization in systems involving long-chain surfactants. The difference in the nature of the associates of rhodamine 6G and rhodamine C with hydrophobic and moderately hydrophobic cationic surfactants has been counterbalanced in the presence of Triton X-100. Reduction of fluorescence intensity of rhodamine 6G in domicile solutions of anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate has been established. The method of fluorescence detection of sodium dodecyl sulfate in reaction with rhodamine 6G has been proposed. The method has been tested in determining of anionic surfactants in the waters after washing clothes.

The purpose of the work was to develop Express methods for determining cationic and anionic surfactants in disinfectants and process solutions. The surfactant concentration was determined visually and colorimetrically by the intensity of color of the indicator zones of paper test strips or by the length of the colored (discolored) zones of test strips laminated in a polymer film. Semi-quantitative determination of surfactants in solutions was carried out by the intensity of color of the zones of indicator test strips pasted on the substrate (test titration on paper). Bromphenol blue was used as an indicator. The titrant was sodium dodecyl sulfate for cationic surfactants and cetylpyridinium chloride for anionic surfactants. Test strips were used for the determination of surfactants in the disinfectant solutions. The concentration in the range of 0.1 – 1.2% was determined by comparing the color with the standard color scale. The duration of the analysis was 3 – 5 min. Quantitative determination of surfactants was carried out by the length of the colored (discolored) zones of test strips glued in a polymer film. As an indicator for cationic surfactants, bromphenol blue (blue zone on the test strip) was used, and for anionic surfactants, an associate of bromphenol blue with cetylpyridinium chloride (discolored zone on the test strip). The determination range of the surfactant made up 16 – 1000 mg/liter. The concentration was determined according to a calibration graph representing the dependence of the length of the blue/discolored zone of the test strips on the concentration of surfactants in the solution. The relative standard deviation of the analysis results does not exceed 0.3; the analysis duration was 20 – 30 min.

Equilibrium vesicles, those which are the stable form of aggregation and form spontaneously on mixing surfactant with water, have never been demonstrated in single component bilayers and only rarely in lipid or surfactant mixtures. Designing a simple and general method for producing spontaneous and stable vesicles depends on a better understanding of the thermodynamics of aggregation, the interplay of intermolecular forces in surfactants, and an efficient way of doing structural characterization in dynamic systems.
