Ar. Mahadeshwar et Sg. Dixit, EFFECT OF INTERACTION BETWEEN SURFACTANTS, HLB AND ZETAPOTENTIAL IN EMULSIFICATION, Journal of dispersion science and technology, 19(1), 1998, pp. 43-61
Emulsification of xylene was carried out using mixed surfactant system
. HLB concept was used to select the right surfactant mixture. Variati
on in the stability of emulsion with respect to HLB was investigated b
y studying interaction between mixed surfactant. The interaction arm q
uantified interms of interaction parameter beta. Exact location and na
ture of the interaction was (hydrophilic/hydrophobic) studied by H-1 N
MR spectroscopy Charge present on emulsion droplet was calculated by z
etapotential measurement.
