title: IGC studies of binary cationic surfactant mixtures.
abstract: Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) has been used to measure the interaction parameter between two twin-tailed cationic surfactants. Didodecyldimethylammonium (DDAB) and dioctadecyldimethylammonium (DODAB) bromides and their mixtures were used as stationary phases. IGC and DSC techniques have been used for the determination of the temperature zone of working. The activity coefficients at infinite dilution (on a mole fraction basis) were calculated for eleven probe solutes on each pure surfactant column. Values of interaction parameter between surfactants obtained at four weight fractions of the mixtures and at five temperatures are positive and suggested that the interactions is more unfavourable with the increment of DODAB concentration in the mixture. The results are interpreted on the basis of partial miscibility between DDAB and DODAB.
