Influence of hydrocarbons on colloid-chemical properties of lubricating-cooling process media

Using spin polarised positive muons for studying guest molecule partitioning in soft matter structures

“…It has been already established [60] that the capability of the hydrocarbons for solubilization in the surfactant aggregates (formation of microheterogeneous, visually transparent aggregatively stable systems) increases in the series from paraffins to naphthenes to arenes; in each homologous series, the capability for being solubilized increase with increasing molecular weight of the hydrocarbon. It is known that arenes lower the degree of aggregation slightly and shift the region of the CMC.…”
