Jl. Mansot et al., COLLOIDAL ANTIWEAR ADDITIVES .1. STRUCTURAL STUDY OF OVERBASED CALCIUM ALKYLBENZENE SULFONATE MICELLES, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 71(2), 1993, pp. 123-134
This paper presents some results on the morphology, chemical nature an
d physical structure of overbased calcium alkylbenzene sulfonate rever
se micelles in dispersion in hydrocarbons obtained using conventional
(CTEM) and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) an
d extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS). It wa
s demonstrated that such colloidal particles are stable when they are
brought out of their original medium and that they,can be accurately m
odeled by a mineral core made up of amorphous calcium carbonate surrou
nded by an organic shell of alkylbenzene sulfonyl radicals.
