The temperature (more precisely, narrow temperature range) above which the
solubility
of a
surfactant
rises sharply. At this temperature the
solubility
of the surfactant becomes equal to the
critical micelle concentration
. It is best determined by locating the abrupt change in slope of a graph of the logarithm of the
solubility
against t or 1T.
