Phase behavior and microstructure of polyoxyethylene trisiloxane surfactants in aqueous solution

摘要: SAXS, SANS, WAXS, cryo-transmission electron microscopy, and video-enhanced optical microscopy are used in this work to determine the phase diagrams microstructures od several trisiloxane polyoxyethylene surfactants (M(D'E n )M) water. Similar behavior of hydrocarbon (C m E ), siloxane depends on size (E ) head group. As rises from 5 8, 12, 16, 18, hydrophilicity increases surfactant tend toward higher curvature structures
