Potentially useful stead-state fluorimetric technique was used to determine the critical micellar concentrations (CMC1 and CMC2) for two micellar media, one formed by SDS and the other by SDS/Brij 30. A comparative study based on conductimetric and surfacial tension measurements suggests that the CMC1 estimated by the fluorimetric method is lower than the value estimated by these other techniques. Equivalent values were observed for SDS micelles without Brij 30 neutral co-surfactant. The use of acridine orange as fluorescent probe permitted to determine both CMC1 and CMC2. Based on it an explanation on aspects of micelle formation mechanism is presented, particularly based on a spherical and a rod like structures.
