The interactions between poly(vinyl alcohol) and the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate in aqueous solutions have been investigated by means of static and dynamic fluorescence measurements. By static fluorescence measurements the onset of interaction, the critical aggregation concentration, is determined to be 6.5 mM at 20 °C and 7.0 mM at 40 °C. By dynamic fluorescence measurements without added quencher the influence on the lifetime of the fluorescent probe, pyrene, by the presence of the polymer is investigated. From measurements with an added quencher, dimethylbenzophenone, the surfactant aggregation numbers of the micellar aggregates formed upon interaction between the surfactant and the polymer and the quenching rate constant are obtained. At the two polymer concentrations, i.e., 0.2% and 2.0%, the surfactant aggregation numbers at low surfactant concentration are very small, but increase rapidly with increasing surfactant concentration. Comparisons are made with results from a system where poly(ethylene oxide) instead of poly(vinyl alcohol) is the polymer. Key words: dynamic fluorescence quenching, polymer–surfactant interactions, aggregation numbers.

Viscosity, conductivity, density, and fluorescence quenching studies were conducted in aqueous micellar solutions at 25.0 °C of sodium alkyl sulfoacetates and sodium dialkyl sulfosuccinates in a comparison of one-tailed and two-tailed surfactant systems. The hexyl, octyl, and decyl members of the former group and the dihexyl and dioctyl members of the latter group were investigated. The results indicated that the sulfoacetates most likely form spherical micelles with aggregation numbers 20 for hexyl, 42 for octyl, and 70 for decyl with three methods for size determination giving concordant results. For the sulfosuccinates, the aggregation numbers from fluorescence quenching were 38 for the dihexyl and 56 for the dioctyl in agreement with the results from the conductance technique which means that spherical micelles are likely formed also. Volume changes on micellization were obtained for the sulfoacetates.
