We have investigated the effect of NaCl, Na2SO4, Na3PO4 and NaSCN on the cloud point (CP), and critical micellization temperature (cmt) of F127 solutions. Salts have been shown to alter micellization of other non-ionic surfactants, and the gel transition temperatures of F127. Such changes are important to consider in formulation systems with F127.
