Do you search for solvents with low solubility for anionic surfactants with one alkyl chain?

Hydrocarbons are such solvents.

When you are using surfactants with solvents ,you need to be very careful about   checking the reactivity and compatibility between them otherwise that may influence your final result, you can do that using zeta potential.

I prepared Silicon nano containers using CTAB and preferred using water as a solvent, so do some careful research before choosing one, Good luck!

zeta potential is not for solutions

Dear all,

thanks a lot for your responses.  Is di-idomethane a good choice? I know that surfactants have a very low solubility in toluene. I am looking forward to calculating the surface energy of the surfactant adsorbed slides, using the contact angle data. These surfactants are highly soluble in water and hence, water contact angle data is not reliable. I think toluene-di-idomethane is a good combination. 

Maybe, however, you should be aware that low solubility may make reliable measurements difficult.

Dear Sir,

Is there any literature reference for solubility of surfactants in di-idoemethane (methylene iodide)?
