Dodecylquinolinium bromide has been synthesized and the critical micelle concentrations of it in the aqueous solution have been determined by the measurement of the surface tension and the electrical conductance. The values are $3.34 {\times} 10^{-3}mole/l$ and 3.41 {\times} $10^{-3}$mole/l, respectively. Since dodecylquinolinium bromide has the larger hydrophobic group than dodecylpyridinium bromide, it is considered that the former has the smaller critical micelle concentration than the latter.

The effect of temperature on the critical micelle concentration of dodecylpyridinium chloride has been determined by electrical conductance method over the range from $5^{\circ}C\;to\;50^{\circ}C$. The values of the change in heat content, ${\Delta}H_m$, and the other thermodynamic parameters have been estimated using the equation of temperature dependence on the critical micelle concentration for the same temperature range. The significance of these thermodynamic quantities and their relations to the various current theories of micelle forming processes were discussed.

The critical concentrations of ${\alpha}$-amino capric acid for micelle formation have been determined by the surface tension measurements in both acidic and alkaline solutions, and also by the dye titration using Rhodamine B in alkaline solutions. The critical micelle concentrations obtained by the two methods show the good agreements within experimental errors. Since ${\alpha}$-amino acid is an ampholyte, it may aggregate to form the micelles in both more acidic and basic media than its isoelectric point. It is found that the basic media are rather preferable for the micelle formation than the acidic media. The effect of gegen ions upon the critical concentration for micelle formation in alkaline media is similar to that expected from the salt effect on the CMC (Critical Micelle Concentration).

The critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of aqueous solutions of a nonionic surfactant, polyoxyl 23 lauryl ether in the presence of various concentration of urea and its derivatives were measured. The CMC of the surfactant increase in proportion to the concentration of the additives, and the CMC-raising activities increased with more and longer alkyl grups substituted in urea. The CMC shift values were successfully correlated with the cloud point shift values and the protein-denaturing activities of the additives, respectively. These results suggest that the micelle formation, clouding of the surfactant and the protein denaturation are a closely related phenomenon, and a common mechanism is operating which might be the hydrophobic interaction.

The critical micelle concentration(CMC) of sucrose monostearate is determined between 20 and $40^{\circ}C$, and the effect caused by the addition of sucrose distearate on the CMC is also studied. It is found that, when both of monoester and diester are dissolved, the curve of surface tension of the solution versus the concentration shows a discontinuity at about 40 dyne $cm^{-1}$ of the surface tension. The discontinuity is interpreted as the associate formed between monoester and diester changes its surface orientation at this region.

Hydrophobically monoendcapped poly(sodium acrylate)s formed hydrophobic microdomains in water. This was concluded on poly(sodium acrylate)s with a linear $C_{12}$-alkyl chain attached specifically at the end of the polymer. There was no well defined CMC (critical micelle concentration), but rather a gradual transition from a micelle free solution to a micelle solution. Steady state fluorescence spectroscopy indicates that the micro domains are rather hydrophobic. At pH 5 in the abscence of salt and at pH 9 in the prescence of 1 M sodium citrate the CAC (critical aggregation concentration) was in the range of 0.1 to 2.4 mM. However at pH 5 there was a linear increase in the transition concentration with a head-group size due to an increase in steric and electrostatic repulsions between polymer main chains. At pH 9 in the abscence of salt the transition concentration was in the range of 1 to 80 mM. For the larger polymers there was a effect which consisted of a concentration gradient of sodium counterion toward the hydrophobic domain. The effect was larger for the larger polymers because of the higher total sodium concentration and the less steep counterion concentration gradient.

Temperature effect on the critical micelle concentration of hexadecyl trimetyl ammonium bromide over the range of $2^{\circ}-50^{\circ}C$ has been investigated by the method of electrical conductivity. The values obtained have been formulated as a power series in T. Several thermodynamic parameters have been calculated for the temparature range examined and their values have been discussed in the light of current theories on the participation of solvent in micelle formation.

The critical micelle concentrations of decylpyridinium chloride in aqueous solutions have been determined by the electrical conductance measurements in the range of $10^{\circ}C$-$50^{\circ}C$. The temperature variation of the critical micelle concentrations has shown the minimum at the vicinity of $15^{\circ}C$. The Clausius-Clapeyron type equation of log (c.m.c.) versus temperature has been established. The values ${\Delta}Hm$ and the other thermodynamic properties associated with micelle formation have been determined using the above equation and compared with that of dodecylpyridinium chloride and dodecylpyridinium bromide.

Temperature dependence of the critical micelle concentration (CMC), $x_{CMC}$, in micellization can be described by ln $x_{CMC}$ = A + BT + C lnT + D/T, which has been derived statistical-mechanically. Here A, B, C, and D are fitting parameters. The equation fits the CMC data better than conventionally used polynomial equations of temperature. Moreover, it yields the unique(exponent) value of 2 when the CMC is expressed in a power-law form. This finding is quite significant, because it may point to the universality of the thermal behavior of CMC. Hence, in this article, the nature of the equation ln $x_{CMC}$ = A + BT + C lnT + D/T is examined from a lattice-theory point of view through the Flory-Huggins model. It is found that a linear behavior of heat capacity change of micellization is responsible for the CMC equation of temperature.
