I. Experimental Facts: Water‐Nonionic Surfactant Systems, and the Effect of Additives

摘要: In this introductory article we approach microemulsions from the binary water-surfactant side. Model systems of water - nonionic surfactant (CiEj) type are examined. Many features observable in these systems. As such discuss dependence cloud points on i and j, temperature viscosity within micellar phase, formation dilute bilayer phases. The effect additives is examined, as it permits to gain insight into structures interactions. Towards end paper most important additive for microemulsion formation, oil, considered. A special feature long-chain surfactants highlighted, namely, non-monotonic critical lines leading very peculiar two-phase lobes precursors three-phase bodies.
