Abstract
The nonionic surfactants Triton X 100 and Triton X 114 form isotropic micellar solutions around 25 degrees C. One of the characteristic feat ures of these solutions is the fact that at higher temperatures they u ndergo clouding and liquid-liquid phase separation. Addition of variou s additives to the surfactant solutions does change the temperature at which the clouding phenomenon occurs. In this paper such effect of ad ditives on the clouding phenomenon of Triton X 100 and Triton X 114 ar e discussed.
