Abstract
Systems with nonionic surfactants of the oligo (ethylene oxide) variety have attracted a strikingly great interest in the last few years, both from theoreticians and experimentalists. There are a number of reasons for this: the unusual property of the aqueous solutions to exhibit phase separation and a lower consolute curve; the rich and diverse phase behaviour with several isotropic solution and liquid crystalline phases also for two-component aqueous systems; the efficiency of these surfactants in mixing large amounts of water and oil in a homogeneous phase (1.c. or microemulsion); the availability of homologue-pure surfactants and the possibility of varying the head-group size systematically; the large and rapidly growing technical use of these and related compounds.
