The effect of dissolved gas (nitrogen, argon) on the properties of the droplets in water-in-oil and oil-in-water microemulsions (surfactant aggregation number, microviscosity, and micropolarity) has been investigated by means of time-resolved fluorescence quenching and spectrofluorometry.

We have studied the effect of adding sucrose distearate (2C(18)SE) on the solubilization capacity of microemulsions formed in the water/C(12)EO(6)/n-decane system. Upon addition of 2C(18)SE to the binary water/C(12)EO(6) system, a lamellar liquid crystal region developed. This suggests that the rigi
## Abstract Experimental investigations on the cosurfactant effect of alkali and tetraalkylammonium choleates in water/AOT/cyclohexane (W/O)βmicroemulsions were carried out. The results prompted considerations on a thermodynamic and molecular level. The molecular view emphasizes the significance of

An effective cross-sectional area per surfactant molecule at hydrophobic interfaces of aggregates, a S , in hexagonal (H 1 ) and lamellar (L β£ ) liquid crystals was calculated in homogeneous and mixed polyoxyethylene dodecyl ether systems as a function of polyoxyethylene (EO) chain length by means o
The stability of colloidal slurries is an important parameter in many industries due to problems that can arise as a result of particle settling. Particle settling is often caused by the shielding of surface charges on the particles which otherwise would prevent coagulation and subsequent settling.
