This research aims to understand how methylene blue's photochemical properties change when interacting with micelles formed by sodium dodecyl sulfate and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide.
Examined methylene blue properties in sodium dodecyl sulfate and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide solutions.
Measured surface tension to determine critical micelle concentrations in relation to methylene blue concentration.
Characterized transient species using laser flash photolysis and near-infrared emission.
The critical micelle concentration of SDS decreased from ~7 mM to ~70 μM as methylene blue concentration increased from 0 to 45 μM.
Binding of methylene blue in the micelle pseudo-phase led to increased absorption at 580 nm and decreased fluorescence emission, indicating dimer formation.
At high SDS concentrations, the mechanism shifted to a Type II process, while low concentrations favored the Type I mechanism.
