Abstract :The self-assembling of surface active antidepressant drug amitriptyline hydrochloride insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AMT); has been studied to determine the micellar solution behavior in the presence of polar insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(methanol and ethanol);, dipolar aprotic solvents insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(acetone and 1,4 dioxane);, salt insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NaCl); and water structure-breakers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(urea); at 298 K using surface tension and electrical conductivity measurements. The counterion binding parameter and the ionization degree of AMT micelles have been determined by electrical conductivity measurements. To better analyze the influences of additives on micellar behavior of AMT, surface features of AMT were defined using Gibbs Adsorption Isotherm in water and in association with various amounts of additives conducted by surface tension measurements. Both conductometric and surface tension experiments were also used to detect the critical micelle concentration insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CMC); of AMT. The experimental results indicated that CMCs of AMT were influenced in the presence of additives. Self-aggregation of AMT was totally inhibited when methanol, ethanol, acetone, 1,4 dioxane, and urea concentration is attained to a certain value while the CMC of AMT reduced with the increase in concentration of NaCl.
