Jfa. Soltero et al., THERMAL TRANSITIONS AND STATE OF WATER IN BINARY-MIXTURES OF WATER AND N-DECANE-PHOSPHONIC ACID OR ITS SODIUM-SALTS, JOURNAL OF THERMAL ANALYSIS AND CALORIMETRY, 51(1), 1998, pp. 105-114
The state of water and several transitions were examined in the system
s n-decanephosphonic acid (DPA)-water and the sodium salts of DPA-wate
r. Temperature - composition phase diagrams are reported. The results
show that several liquid crystalline phases plus isotropic liquid, and
two solid phases (a waxy solid phase and a crystalline phase) an form
ed. Several types of water were detected: bulk-like water, interfacial
water and hydration water.
