It has been established that sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) binds to the micelles and monomers of block copolymer F127. SDS monomeric unassociated F127 in form polymer/bound micellar complexes. first forming mixed micelles, which dissociate into smaller aggregates then single monomers. A third interaction SDS, involves promotion at concentrations up 3 °C below critical temperature pure F127, was identified is investigated present work.

Electromotive force and isothermal titration microcalorimetry measurements have been carried out to study the interactions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with polyethyleneimines (PEI's) some ethoxylated PEI's at different pH's. In all cases polymers show a remarkable affinity toward SDS. The SDS concentration onset binding decreases decreasing pH. At low pH's phase separation similar that observed for strong polyelectrolyte/oppositely charged surfactant systems occurs presumably as...
