A spectrophotometric method has been used to study the interactions of some monoazo anionic dyes with a series of nonionic surfactants of different ethylene oxide chain length. The interaction between the dyes and the surfactants has been shown to be hydrophobic in nature with the extent of interaction increasing with increasing hydrophobicity of alky I side–chains on the dyes.
