The interaction between poly(ethylene oxide) (POE) and the aggregates present in micellar solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), mixed micellar solutions of SDS + 1-pentanol, and oil in water microemulsions made of SDS + 1-pentanol + oil (dodecane or toluene) has been investigated by means of fluorescence probing methods. It is shown that the addition of POE results in a decrease of the aggregation number of SDS in the aggregates present in all the systems investigated. Most likely this decrease is due to the adsorption of the POE chain in the micelle palisade layer and the ensuing increase of micelle ionization. 22 references, 5 figures, 2 tables.
