title = "Determination of Critical Micelle Concentration of Surfactant Using RF Sensing",
abstract = "This paper utilizes RF Sensing to develop a facile methodology for the determination of Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) of surfactants. The study is undertaken with the help of an Interdigitated Capacitor based RF Sensor. Due to change in permittivity, the sensor yields distinct resonant frequencies when introduced to solutions of varying concentration of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate as the electrolyte. As the surfactant approaches micellization, the resonant frequency shift drastically alters, and this sudden transition is used to determine the value of CMC. The proposed technique estimates the CMC of SDS to be 6.5 x10-3M The introduced method is effective and less cumbersome as compared to traditional techniques.",
