The micellar properties of a surfactant showing both non-ionic and cationic character in aqueous solution, depending on pH, were determined using light scattering methods. Differences in the critical micelle concentrations, micelle molecular weights and interaction coefficients shown by the neutraland positively charged surfactant species in water and in 0.2 M NaCl are noted and discussed. Although the micellar results are consistent for each individual species, a direct comparison of the properties of the cationic and non-ionic modifications shows some inconsistencies when current concepts of micelle formation are considered. In addition, changes in micellar properties have been determined as a function of non-ionic sur-factant (dimethylalkylamine oxide) chain length and as a function of temperature for the C12 homolog. These results were used tocalculate thermodynamic quantities for micelle formation.Much of the controversy over the interpretation of light scattering data obtained on solutions of ionic surface active agents is due to the electrical charge carried by the micelles. Since Debye first showed that micellar information can be obtained by applying light scatteringmethods to detergent solutions, 2 most of the work reported in the literature has dealt with the micellar properties of anionic and cationic detergent systems. 3 Attempts have been made toavoid electrical interactions by using non-ionic surfactant molecules; however, these substances have been polymeric condensates with large polar heads which, although fractionated, may consist of a distribution of chain lengths. 4-6 It is desirable that well characterized, non-ionic sur-factants be investigated if the theory of micellar solutions is to be developed further. The present work deals with the micellar molec-ular weights and critical micelle concentrations of a pure species which can exist in bothnon-ionic and cationic form depending upon the pH of the solu-tion. These two forms are: dimethyldodecylamine oxide (DDAO), Ci2H26N (CH8) 2-»· 0 and dimethyl-dodecyl-N-hydroxyammonium chloride (DDHAC),[C12H26N (CH3) 2OH] Cl. They are related by the equilibrium
