Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume chronicles the proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Surfactants in Solution (SIS) held in Gainesville, FL, June 10-15, 1990. This series of symposia have been smoothly running since 1976, but the appellation "Surfactants in Solution" was used for the first time in 1982 in Lund. Since then our logo "SIS" has become very familiar to everyone involved in surfactants. In Lund the meeting was billed as the Fourth International Symposium on Surfactants in Solution. Earlier three events were held under different rubrics, but proceedings of all these symposia, except the 7th SIS held in Ottawa in 1988, have been properly documented. As a matter of fact so far 10 volumes have appeared under the title "Surfactants in Solution". 1,2,3 The program for the 9th SIS was very comprehensive and many ramifications of surfactants were covered, and it was a veritable international event. It contained a total of 384 papers by 869 authors from practically every corner of our planet. Just the sheer number of papers is a testimonial to the high tempo of research and tremendous interest in this wonderful class of materials. As in the past, there were plenary lectures (5), invited talks (37), oral presentations (195) and poster presentations (147). The plenary lectures were given by Prof. J. Th. G. Overbeek, Prof. C. A. Bunton, Prof. H. Ti Tien and Dr. J. Swalen. The lecture by Prof. Overbeek, the doyen of surface and colloid science, was a real treat.

Download or read book Non Ionic Binary Surfactant Systems and Microemulsions as Model Systems for Thermal Diffusion Studies written by Sascha Datta and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal diffusion (or the Soret effect) describes the diffusion of matter in the presence of a temperature gradient. Although this process is studied and applied since more than 100 years the underlying molecular mechanism in liquids is still far from being understood. Colloidal dispersions are versatile model systems to study the thermal diffusion behavior of large particles in a solvent. However, the synthesis of colloidal particles with identical morphology is a complex task. On the other hand aqueous surfactant solutions and microemulsions are promising systems to study the Soret effect. Compared to colloidal particles the aggregates form spontaneously and do not require any additional stabilisation. Furthermore the radius and the shape of the diffusing aggregates, as well as their interfacial tension can be systematically adjusted via the variation of the composition and temperature. In order to address some important aspects of the thermal diffusion behavior three different types of self-assembled surfactant systems were formulated and systematically studied: (i) At first the role of the ionic dye Basantol® Yellow 215, which causes an unexpected two-mode signal in the classical Thermal Diffusion Forced Rayleigh Scattering (TDFRS) experiment [Ning et al. Progr Colloid Polym Sci (2006) 133: 111–115], is examined using the system H2O – C12E6. Systematic phase behavior studies and small angle neutron scattering experiments (SANS) proved that the dye is incorporated into the aggregates like an ionic co-surfactant, influencing not only the thermal diffusion behavior but also the overall properties of the systems. These results strongly suggest that one should refrain from the use of surface-active dyes in TDFRS experiments on self-assembled systems. (ii) To study the dependence of the Soret coefficient ST on the radius of the aggregates and the slope of the interfacial tension, both being controversially discussed in the literature, different microemulsions of the type H2O – C12E5 –n-alkane were formulated that allow for an isothermal study of these dependencies. Correlating the results of the systematic SANS and interfacial tension measurements with the Soret coefficient ST it was found that within the measurement range ST depends almost linearly on the droplet radius, the slope of the interfacial tension as well as on the product of both quantities. (iii) In the last part systematic surface tension and TDFRS measurements were performed in binary aqueous n-alkyl glucoside (CiGj) solutions to study the thermal diffusion behavior around the critical micelle concentration (cmc). The obtained results clearly show that the Soret coefficient exhibits an abrupt change at the cmc. To sum up, this work shows that aqueous surfactant systems and microemulsions are eminently suited to elucidate some of the underlying molecular mechanism of the Soret effect.

Download or read book Surfactant Systems written by D. Attwood and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now twelve years since Solubilization by Surface-Active Agents appeared. Since the publication of that monograph the subject has expanded rapidly as the unique potential of surfactants has become known to a wider circle of scientists. In a recent review Menger (Accounts of Chemical Research, 12 (1979) 111) estimated that since 1970 there have been over 2800 publications on micelles and micellization alone. The topic of catalysis in micellar media was in an early stage of development in 1968 but the growth in this subject has given rise to an excellent textbook by Fendler and Fendler. We have felt for some time that a revision of Solubilization by Surface-Active Agents was overdue. The book has been out of print for some time. Owing to pressure of other work, Professor P. H. Elworthy and Dr C. B. Macfarlane were unable to undertake the work of revision but while working together on an undergraduate textbook the present authors decided to set to work, realizing both the impossibility of producing a comprehensive textbook and the need to alter the scope of the book. Micellar solubilization occurs over a relatively small surfactant concentration range; because of this and because the phenomenon is never observed in isolation, we have extended the text to include surface activity, emulsions and suspensions and, as our emphasis is on formulation of medicinal products, to the of the toxicology of surface-active agents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with P.A. Winsor's fundamental hypothesis on a natural interfacial curvature depending on the values of the formulation variables, this unique book shows scientists how to understand the intrinsic structure of these complex systems and their corresponding physical properties... predict how a change in one formulation variable (surfactant structure, oil structure, aqueous phase composition, temperature, etc.) will modify the microemulsion... and systematically formulate microemulsions for individual applications.This book provides a thermodynamic analysis supporting the existence of natural interfacial curvature... compares the behavior of commercial surfactant mixtures and pure isomeric surfactant molecules in order to point out differences and similarities highly significant for various uses... explains how micelles can evolve smoothly and continuously toward solutions containing large quantities of oil and water... gives procedures for fixing quantitative relationships among formulation variables... plus much more.Illustrated with more than 200 diagrams, tables, and photographs, and completely referenced, this superb volume is essential reading for surfactant, colloid, and physical chemists in both academe and industry, as well as chemical engineers, biotechnologists, and petroleum engineers.Contents: 1.
