Nucleation of single and mixed straight chain surfactants from dilute aqueous solutions

摘要: Abstract Nucleation parameters have been measured for dilute aqueous solutions of sodium laurate, myristate and mixtures these two straight chain surfactants. For single surfactant systems the metastable zone width decreases with increasing concentration longer length. Both enthalpy entropy dissolution as calculated from saturation temperature using van't Hoff equation were bigger than laurate. where one components is dominantly present larger widths found, whereas a 1 : mixture was found to result in an intermediate width.
