Interfacial charge transport in water-in-oil microemulsions stabilized by ionic-non-ionic surfactant mixtures.

چکیده
Interfacial charge transport and mobility have been studied in system-spanning nanodroplet clusters formed in water-in-oil microemulsions stabilized by non-ionic-ionic surfactant mixtures. An unexpectedly large reduction in the counterion mobility was derived from a two-step adsorption process which described the Langmuir-plot-like conductivity isotherm remarkably well. It also conformed very satisfactorily to mobility data of the sodium bis-2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate (AOT) counterion derived from frequency-dependent dielectric dispersion measurements with singly dispersed nanodroplets of the same system as used with the cluster studies. The activation energy attributed to the counterion mobility allowed one to calculate approximately the minimum distance between the (positive) counterion in the bulk and the surfactant anion in the interface.

502 What is MELC? Microemulsions are stable, isotropically clear solutions consisting of an oil (such as octane) and water stabilized by a surfactant and co-surfactant. To form such a mixture the interfacial tension between the oil and water has to be decreased by the addition of both a surfactant and a cosurfactant. Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) is a common and widely used surfactant.1,2 Mediu...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics study of nanoparticles and non-ionic surfactant at an oil– water interface†
Nanoparticles (NPs) and surfactants can spontaneously concentrate at the interface between two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. Systems of high oil–water interfacial area, such as emulsions, are the basis of many industries and consumer products. Although NPs and surfactants are currently incorporated into many of these applications, their mutual interfacial behavior is not completely...
