The aqueous phase behavior of surfactants laughlin, robert g. The results indicate that the phase behaviour of pei. With ionic surfactants the solubility increases slowly initially with an increase in temperature until a value is reached at which there is a sudden increase in the solubility. The dilute isotropic surfactant solutions represent only a part of the overall picture of surfactant solvent interaction. The representation of the phase behaviour of ionic microemulsions is.

Although much of the published work on surfactant solutions has been concerned with the properties of dilute aqueous solutions, many surfactants also form liquid crystalline phases at high concentration. Chapter 4 covers selfassembly and 5 phase diagrams. Study on the interfacial properties of surfactants and their. On the effect of surfactants on drop coalescence at liquid. In the preceeding two chapters it was shown in some detail how, in dilute solution, surfactants tend to aggregate to form micelles that are sufficiently small that an aqueous solution behaves like an isotropic fluid.
The phase behaviour of surfactants and its variation with temperature depends largely on the nature of the hydrophilic group. Polymers may change the phase behaviour of inwnite.

The rupture behavior of the droplets at different surfactant concentrations is first analyzed. This book gives the reader an introduction to the field of surfactants in solution as well as polymers in solution.
These systems consist of extended aggregation of surfactant molecules into large organised structures. That is, detergents alter interfacial properties so as to promote removal of a phase from solid surfaces. Hence, surfactants combine hydrophobic and hydrophilic.

General phase behaviour of surfactants springerlink. The unusual properties of aqueous surfactant solutions can be ascribed to the presence of a hydrophilic head group and a hydrophobic chain or tail in the molecule. They attributed this behavior to the formation of reverse micelles nonpolar.
