The aqueous mixed systems of tricyclic antidepressants: nortriptyline hydrochloride (NOT) and amitriptyline hydrochloride (AMT) with nonionic polyoxyethylene alkyl ether surfactants: C10E8/C-10 E-10 have been studied to determine the micellar and interfacial behavior and various experimental techniques like surface tension, fluorescence and cloud point have been employed. The micellar, interfacial and thermodynamic parameters like critical micelle concentration (cmc), interaction parameter (beta), maximum surface excess concentration (Gamma(max)), surface pressure at cmc (Pi(cmc)) and minimum area per molecule (A(min)), aggregation number (N-agg), Gibb's free energy of micellization (Delta G(m)), Gibb's free energy of adsorption (Delta G(ads)), excess free energy of micellization (Delta G(ex)) have been evaluated. The negative values of interaction parameter obtained from regular solution theory suggest the synergistic interactions in all the proposed mixed systems. The negative values of Delta G(m) and Delta G(ads) show that micelle formation and adsorption at the air/water interface is energetically favorable. The higher values of aggregation number show the existence of hydrophobic interactions and supports synergism. The cloud point measurements have also depicted enhancement of hydrophobicity in the mixed micelles with an increase in concentration of nonionic surfactants. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
