Critical micellar concentration (CMC), saturated interfacial concentration (SIC) and the limiting surface tension of the MHS solution, LNC dispersion and binary and ternary mixtures of LNC components as determined by the Wilhelmy plate method.

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.
