• Aqueous solution

• Calcium hydroxide

• Triton X-100, 2.56E-2 mol/L (<CMC)

• Triton X-100, 1.53E-1 mol/L (<CMC)

• Triton X-100, 1.02 mol/L (>CMC)

The surfactant attached to the clay surface forming monolayers and bilayers, called hemimicelles. Above the CMC the surfactant also formed micelles.
