Surfactants are widely used for academic and industrial purposes. For this reason, thermodynamic and physical properties of surfactant and cosurfactant mixtures can provide important information about the nature of the molecular interactions present. In this work, volumetric and transport data of surfactant binary mixtures of the ethanol + Igepal series (Igepal CO-520, Igepal CO-630, Igepal CO-720, and Igepal CA-720) were determined experimentally within a range of temperature of T = 293.15− 323.15 K, at atmospheric pressure. From these data, the following derivative properties have been calculated: the excess molar volume, viscosity deviation, and coefficient of thermal expansion. All of these mixtures showed that attractive intermolecular forces are dominant.
Surfactants
are widely used in industrial applications associated
with several solvents. Therefore, it is worthy to know the nature
of the molecular interactions present in surfactants and cosurfactant
mixtures, whose thermodynamic and physical properties can provide
important information from an academic and industrial viewpoint. In
this work, density and viscosity data of binary mixtures of toluene
+ Igepal series (Igepal CO-520, Igepal CO-630, Igepal CO-720, or Igepal
CA-720) were experimentally determined within a range of temperature T = 293.15–333.15 K and at an atmospheric pressure
of 101.325 kPa. From these data, the following derivative properties
have been evaluated: excess molar volume, viscosity deviation, thermal
expansion coefficient, partial molar volume, and excess thermal expansion
coefficient. It was observed that all these mixtures showed the prevalence
of dispersion intermolecular forces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
