Surfactant Molecular Geometry within Planar and Curved Monolayers in Relation to Microemulsion Phase Behaviour

  • Chapter
The Structure, Dynamics and Equilibrium Properties of Colloidal Systems

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 324))

Abstract

The phase behaviour of oil + water + surfactant mixtures is strongly dependent on the molecular geometry of the surfactant within the monolayer. In this article we show how surfactant molecular geometrical parameters in both curved and flat monolayers may be estimated. We describe examples for which the variation of surfactant geometry with electrolyte concentration, temperature, alkane chain length and the concentration of a second surface active species have been measured quantitatively. Finally, we describe a method whereby the extent of oil mixing with a surfactant monolayer at the air-water interface may be determined.
