F. Nielloud et al., PHASE-BEHAVIOR AND INTERFACIAL PROPERTIES OF SYSTEMS OF NONIONIC SURFACTANTS AND SALICYLATE COMPONENTS, Journal of dispersion science and technology, 17(5), 1996, pp. 477-491
The present study reports the phase diagrams of two salicylate compone
nts in the presence of non-ionic surfactants, water and mineral oil. T
he phase diagrams show that 1% Methyl Salicylate enhances the fine emu
lsion formation, unlike 3% MS and 1% and 3% Sodium Salicylate which re
duce the total emulsion phase region. The data obtained through interf
acial tension measurements are used to confirm these phase behaviors.
