Aggregation behaviour of two cation gemini surfactants i.e., 1,3-bis (1-decylbenzimidazolium) propane bromide BG10 and 1,3-bis (1-octylbenzimidazolium) propane bromide BG8 was studied using conductivity and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The enthalpy (∆Hmо), entropy (∆Smо) and Gibbs free energy of...
