Conductivity, density, and Sound velocity measurements as functions of temperature were made on tetraethylammonium perfluorooctylsulfonate solutions to determine the Krafft point, the dependence on temperature of the critical micelle concentration, the micellar ionization degree, and several thermodynamic properties: Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy of micellization, apparent molar partial Volume, thermal expansion coefficient, and the adiabatic compressibility factor of both micellized and unmicellized surfactants. Important changes occur at about 30 degrees C. Results are interpreted on the basis of dehydration of surfactant on micellization and on temperature increase. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
