Volumetric studies of phenylalanine in the pre micellar regions of Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solution.
Interactions between amino acid (dl-phenylalanine) and surfactant (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide) was investigated using density and density data was utilized to calculate apparent molar volume [Formula], and partial molar volume also known as limiting molar volume [Formula] to find out solute-solvent interactions between amino acid and surfactant.
