Laser light-scattering study of nonionic micellar solutions

As a part of a systematic study of the micellar properties and of the cloud-point transition in nonionic micellar solutions, measurements of a coexistence curve by a turbidimetric technique and of osmotic compressibility by light scattering have been performed on C12E8 solutions to which n-octane or n-dodecane has been added. Some preliminary results of electric birefringence measurements performed on C12E6 and C12E8 solutions are also presented
