Abstract

The properties of the interface of vesicles of pure sodium bis-(2-ethyl-hexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) and binary mixtures composed of AOT with poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG), poly(sodium 4-styrensulfonate) (PSS) and sodium chloride were investigated using absorption and steady-state fluorescence of nabumetone and electrophoretic mobility measurements. Results confirm those obtained in a previous work indicating that the addition of PEG, PSS, and NaCl stabilizes the AOT vesicles. The stabilization mechanism is the screening of the surface charge in the case of binary mixtures of AOT/PSS and AOT/NaCl and the polymer adsorption on the interface for vesicles of AOT/PEG.
