Abstract: In the aqueous solution of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB), the TICTfluorescence of DMABOAis dramatically shifted to blue upon the micelle formation, accompanied by an enhancement of the fluorescence intensity ratio of TICTband to normal band (Ia/Ib) and of total fluorescence intensity.While the formation of micelle of anionic surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) does not induce the variations of the position of TICTband and of Ia/Ib, only causes a relatively minor enhancement of total fluorescence intensity.It is pointed out that the TICTbehavior in the hydrophobic core of micelle is different from that in pure organic solvent,i.e., decrease of polarity results in increased Ia/Ib, and the electrostatic interaction and hydrophobic interaction between DMABOA and CTMAB micelle are synergetic.
