Critical micellar concentration (CMC), saturated interfacial concentration (SIC) and the limiting surface tension of the MHS solution and LNC dispersion as determined by drop tensiometry.

The CMC/SIC is the concentration at which a sharp change in the slope has occurred. The concentrations (given in brackets) correspond to the calculated CMC/SIC based on the slope of the surface tension isotherms. The limiting surface tension is the lowest surface tension observed for a given system regardless of the bulk concentration.
