Abstract
Rapid ionic equilibria of solutions of cationic and anionic surfactants were studied by the concentration-jump method with the use of the conductance stopped-flow technique. The slow relaxation times (

) assigned to the micellization-dissolution process were obtained from the traces of the conductance changes in a much wider concentration range than in the previous methods. The

of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SLS) observed coincided fairly well with those obtained from the temperature-jump technique by Folger
et al
. (1974) and by Aniansson
et at
. (1976), when comparison was possible. In a wide concentration range above c. m. c.
⊺

of SLS sharply decreased with increasing concentration, increased with temperature, and decreased with addition of foreign salts. The
⊺
2
-1
of sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STS) and sodium hexadecyl sulphate (SCS) showed similar trends. The magnitudes of the
⊺
2
-1
were in the order SLS > STS > SCS. The
⊺
2
-1
of hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide solution, which was much smaller than those of the anionic micelles studied, also showed similar dependence on concentration (above c. m. c.) and temperature.
