The micellar characteristics of the mixed micelles formed by three ratios of an anionicnonionic surfactant mixture have been compared with the detergencies imparted by the three combinations to aqueous alkaline cleaning solutions of ca. pH 12. It was found that detergency increases with increasing charge on, and number of anionic monomers in, the mixed micelles. Improved detergency appears to be connected to a reduction in micellar dissociation.
