Abstract
Dielectric relaxation studies of acetate buffer solutions of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS- anionic), Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB- cationic), Tween 80 (TW-80-non-ionic), Betaine Anhydrous (BA- zwitterionic) surfactants have been examined in the frequency region between 1GHz and 25GHz for various concentrations of surfactants at the temperatures of 283, 288, 293 and 298K using time domain dielectric spectroscopy. The obtained corrected loss spectra of all the amphiphiles except betaine anhydrous in acetate buffer solution depicted peaks near 1-2GHz and 15GHz, respectively. For betaine anhydrous, expected peak was not observed in the 1-2GHz frequency region. The peak ascertained near 15GHz, and another peak about 1-2GHz was accorded to free water relaxation and bound water reorientation of the surfactant micelles, and has acquired the reliance of temperature with concentration in detail. Single Debye and Cole-Cole function was employed to compute the relaxation times of free water and bound water, respectively. The Arrhenius plot was used to calculate the enthalpy and entropy for the micelle forming surfactants.
