Amino acid-based surfactants are used in academics and industry. Sodium N-dodecanoyl sarcosinate (SDDS) is such an amino acid-based surfactant having applications in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic formulations. Although the surface properties of this surfactant have been studied in the presence of univalent cationic and anionic salts, there is no report on such solution in the presence of higher valencies. In this experiment, critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDDS from tensiometry, conductometry,and fluorimetry has been determined. In each case, CMC decreases with increasing salt concentration. Counterion binding of micelles (beta) diffusion coefficient (D-0), and surface ProPertiesi e.g., Gibbs free energy for micellization (Delta G(m)(0)), Gibbs surface excess (Gamma(max)), area of exclusion per surfactant monomer (A(min)), surface pressure at CMC (pi(cmc)), etc., have been evaluated using methods such as tensiometry, conductometry, and fluorimetry. The hydrodynamic radius of SDDS in the presence of different salts was measured by the light scattering method. Aggregation number and shape of micelle have been determined by small-angle neutron scattering experiment. The nature of amphiphilic packing and the aggregation numbers of they assemblies have also been explored. The results from different experiments have been rationalized and represented systematically.
