ABSTRACT:

Critical micelle concentration (CMC) is key point for surface chemistry as well as chemist and systematic data collection and day-to-day development in this regard is very essential. Hence, we have analyzed the CMC of surfactant, mixed surfactant and polymer at room temperature (28°C). With the change in surfactant, mixed surfactant and polymer concentration CMC values were observed by different method such as surface tension and conductometric. The result of CMC values for surfactant, mixed surfactant and polymer show different characteristics and out comes. The values of CMC follow below order.
