Evidences of Structural Changes in Reverse Microemulsion Systems Formulated with Nonionic Surfactants

  • Chapter
Surfactants in Solution

Abstract

Two kinds of isotropic reverse microemulsion systems have been investigated, showing evidences of structural changes on varying their composition. For system I, formulated with an hydrogenated nonionic surfactant (decane/water/tetraethyleneglycoldodecylether/1-hexanol)‚ the flux obtained when using the microemulsions as liquid membranes to carry out the transport of picrate ions between two aqueous phases, reveals a structural change on changing their water content. Similar conclusion can be drawn from looking at the C NMR relaxation times of the carbon atoms constituting the hydrophilic moiety of the surfactant molecules. For system II, formulated with a fluorinated nonionic surfactant (perfluorodecaline/water (potassium iodide)/tetraethyleneglycol[1’H,1’H‚perfluoroheptyl]ether)‚ both conductivity and viscosity measurements reveal a structural change when high volume fractions of water are attained. These behaviors are discussed in relation to the possible molecular organizations of these nonionic systems.
