Hj. Mirgal et Sg. Dixit, STUDIES ON FORMATION OF PESTICIDE EMULSIONS USING CALCIUM DODECYLBENZENE SULFONATE AND NONYLPHENOL ETHOXYLATE, Journal of dispersion science and technology, 18(1), 1997, pp. 11-36
The stability of pesticide emulsions has been studied with respect to
HLB values of surfactant blends. Calcium alkylbenzene sulfonate was us
ed as the anionic surfactant and nonylphenol ethoxylates with differen
t number of ethylene oxide units were used as nonionic surfactants. Mi
xed micelle formation studies were carried out to correlate mixed mice
lle formation with the stability of emulsion. Emulsion formation was o
bserved to be spontaneous. Studies regarding spontaneity were carried
out photographically.
