Aqueous solutions of 1-octanol polyoxyethylene glycol monoether with an average of 4.5 ethylene oxide units per molecule were subject to surface-tension and cloud-point measurements at temperatures ranging from 26 to 67°C. The former data were used to estimate values for the critical micelle concent...
