Field-enhanced dissociation, the validity of onsager's theory in surfactant solutions

This study deals with the kinetics of the field-dissociation effect in solutions of AOT surfactant in cyclohexane. The conductance increases with field strength as predicted by Onsager's theory, but large deviations from the Langevin relaxation time are observed at AOT concentrations greater than 10
