The sol–gel technology is being increasingly used for the development of optical sensors
and biosensors, due to its simplicity and versatility. By this process, porous thin films …

We describe a simple and rapid method for determining the critical micelle concentration
(CMC) of surfactants from fiber-optic measurements of refractive index. The refractive index …

In this study, the critical micellar concentration (CMC) of anionic, cationic and nonionic
surfactants was determined using the UV–Vis spectroscopic method. Sodium lauryl sulfate …

A dual-peak long period fiber grating (DP-LPFG)-based sensor was designed and fabricated
for the sensitive detection of riboflavin concentration. LPFGs with a period of 163 μ m and a …

Fiber-optic sensors are mostly used for in situ measurements of diverse chemical
composition of industrial surfactants employed in industry as detergents, emulsifying and …

Critical micelle concentration (CMC) is one of the important nominal characteristics of the
surfactants which can be measured using various methods. In this study, to detect the CMC …

A solution containing surfactants presents appreciable changes in physical and chemical
properties at the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Besides signal transmission for …

Human health has been adversely affected by air pollution. Ambient (outdoor) air pollution
causes 4.2 million deaths every year. Moreover, each year, 3.8 million people die from …

The evolution of silica optical fiber strength aged in cetyltrimethylammonium chloride
solution (CTAC) has been investigated. If the solution containing surfactants presents …

Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) of the surfactants is one of the most significant nominal
properties of their solutions. This characteristic affects interfacial phenomena and bulk …
