Am. Chekmarev et al., PHASE STATE AND PROPERTIES OF WATER-SODIUM DI-2-ETHYLHEXYLPHOSPHATE-OIL MULTICOMPONENT SYSTEMS, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 58(1), 1996, pp. 104-109
Phase equilibria and properties of microemulsions of water in toluene
stabilized by sodium di-2-ethylhexylphosphate were studied by methods
of dielectric measurements, photon-correlation spectroscopy, and capil
lary viscometry. The formation and stability of the microemulsions stu
died are dependent on the overall concentration of surface-active stab
ilizer and relative content of cosurfactants (aliphatic alcohol, alkyl
phosphoric acid ether). The influence of systems composition on their
phase behavior and aggregation stability is discussed.
