Mixed micelle formation and interfacial properties of aqueous binary surfactant combinations of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C12TAB) and tetraethyleneglycol mono-n-dodecyl ether (C12E4) at 30 °C in absence and presence of sodium propionate (NaPr) have been investigated. The critical micelle concentration, aggregation number, micropolarity and interfacial adsorption have been quantitatively estimated by surface tension and steady-state fluorescence measurements. The micellar and adsorption characteristics like composition, activity coefficients and mutual interaction parameters have been estimated following different theoretical treatments like that of Clint, Rubingh, Rodenas, Maeda, Blankschtein and Rosen. The analysis reveals very small mole fraction of cationic surfactant in both the mixed micelles and mixed monolayer inspite of synergism. Blankschtein's model predicts a continuous decrease in synergism due to the salt effect of NaPr; Rubingh's approach, on the contrary, indicates an increase in it above 30 mM of NaPr concentration. Aggregation number variation with NaPr indicates the same. Mixed monolayer shows better synergism compared to that in mixed micelles which increases with the addition of sodium propionate above 30 mM concentration.
