Abstract :

Surfactants are adaptable amphiphilic compounds have an especially distinctive polar hydrophilic head and non-polar hydrophilic tail group. The surfactant is extensively used in each walk of life such as care products, domestic cleaners, pharmaceuticals, oil recovery, food handling, and nanotechnologies due to decreasing the interfacial tension,. The Micellization of anionic surfactants such as potassium dodecyl sulphate (KDS), sodium dodecyl sulphate (NaDS), sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (NaDBS) in presence of urea derivatives (2.0 M) in 2.5% alkanol-water systems at constant temperature (35ºC) are measured using the Agla micrometer syringe. The conclusion of this study gives the Critical Micelles Concentration (CMC) values of anionic surfactants decreased with the increase in methyl group of urea derivatives, monohydric alcohols (methanol, propanol butanol) and water systems at 35ºC.
