When NaBr (A1*, B1*, C1*) was added, the dh of the TNWs increased, with the effect being more pronounced at the highest TNW

The dh values obtained at the lowest monomeric 12-2-12 concentration (D1, E1 and F1) were similar to those measured in the corresponding control systems (CS1-3). The measured zeta potentials were
