Abstract

Surfactants have been widely used as inhibitors for metal corrosion inhibition by their adsorption on metal surface to act as a protective film. The adsorption, however, is highly affected by surfactant micellization which needs a systemic study. An improved critical micelle concentration (cmc) prediction model is developed and validated to study micellization of various pure and mixed surfactants in aqueous solution containing salts (0
