M. Valiente et E. Rodenas, INFLUENCE OF CTAB ALKANOL CYCLOHEXANE W O MICROEMULSIONS ON THE BASICHYDROLYSIS OF CRYSTAL VIOLET/, Colloid and polymer science, 271(5), 1993, pp. 494-498
The basic hydrolysis of crystal violet has been studied in w/o micro-e
mulsions of the CTAB/alkanols/cyclohexane system (alkanols: 1-butanol
and 1-hexanol). The reaction can be considered to occur in the water p
hase of the droplets and from the rate constant the apparent dielectri
c constant of the water phase was determined. The cyclohexane incorpor
ation in the system produces a decrease in the effective dielectric co
nstant of the water phase and in the specific conductivity.
