Synergistic effect in mixtures of nonionic and ionic surfactants
• It was observed that for mixtures of nonionic and ionic surfactant solutions (in water or in heavy water) CMC of mixture system is smaller than each of these two surfactants (in water or heavy water).

Nonionic surfactant heptaethylene glycol
monotetradecyl ether (C14E7) in dilute heavy water solutions. Influence of concentration and temperature
on aggregation in solutions
• Nonionic classic surfactant C14E7 ( heptaethylene glycol monotetradecyl ether ) in water solution was investigated for temperatures below the cloud point for seven temperatures 6o, 10o, 15o, 20o, 25o, 30o and 35o C in dilute solutions for concentrations: c1= 0.17%, c2 = 0.5% with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) method.

CiEj
The surfactant studies have includedC14E7 where “C” and “E” refer to alkyl(CH)x and ethoxylate(CH2CH2O) units in the conventional shorthand notation.

NONIONIC SURFACTANTS
Nonionic surfactants such as oligo( oxyyethylene)-n-alkylether ( abbreviated as CiEj ) show a rich phase behaviour inaqueous mixtures. At very low surfactant concentrations thesurfactant dissolves in the form of unimers. With an increasein the surfactant concentration the temperature dependent critical micelle concentration ( cmc ) is passed and the surfactantmolecules form mostly globular micelles at least at low temperatures.A common feature of these surfactants in mixtures with water is an upper miscibility gap with a lower critical point in the temperature – composition diagram.Above the so-called cloud curve the solutions first become very turbid and then phase separate into two micellar solutions of extremely different surfactant contents. The position of the critical point depends on the overall chain length of the amphiphile andhydrophilic-lipophilic balance. The understanding of the binary phase behaviour and structural properties is central for understanding of ternary mixtures with oil ( microemulsions ).

Conclusions• Synergistic effect in mixed systems TX-100/C16TABr we observed. At the
same temperature but for different compositions of solutions the shift of maximum of intensity of scattering neutrons to bigger values of q wavescattering vector –show us that the size of micelles is smallest for ratio 3:1 according relation below -
q ~ 1/D where q – wavescattering vector
D – size of object ( for us micelle )• With increasing ratio of Triton X-100 to C16TABr and temperature mixture
system changes properties from nonionic to ionic – like.• Shape of micelles – for lowest temperature and ratio 1:1 near spherical (with
r = 3 nm) than biaxial ellipsoids ( with short axis a = 6.5 nm and long axis b = 3 nm )

The q–dependent scattering intensity is the complex square of the scattering amplitude , which is the Fourier transform of the scattering length density difference describing the scattering particle in real space. In solution scattering one measures the spatial average of these functions, and we finally have:
