Structures in Mixtures of p‐tert‐Octylphenol Polyoxyethylene and Water. 1. Triton X‐114

Abstract: On the basis of the phase diagram of water and the nonionic detergent Triton X‐114R (p‐tert‐octylphenol polyoxyethylene with 7 to 8 moles oxyethylene units), results of polarization microscopy and rheological studies are compared with results obtained by freeze‐fracture electron microscopy. The ultrastructure of the mesomorphic phase, the optically isotropic solution, and the phases separated in the miscibility gap are shown in detail.

“…MLVs) with random orientation. 50 This type of microstructures was already observed through polarized microscopy and transmission electron microscopy in several non-ionic surfactants water solutions 51 and we previously 18 showed the same polycrystalline microstructure for the HLAS surfactant as well. Interestingly, an internal microstructure made by dispersed L domains has been reported at a concentration even lower than 5%.…”

“…In other words, the polydomain lamellar microstructure is formed by connected liquid crystalline monodomains with random orientation so that from a macroscopic point of view it looks disoriented and with structural defects (Barnes, 1980). The technique of freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy provides clear pictures supporting the microstructure above described Kopp, 1987 and, (Jousma et al, 1987).…”

“…The transition from the mesophase to the isotropic aqueous solution is observed at certain non-ionic surfactant concentrations and temperatures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]14,15]. The shape of micelles changes near the border between the areas of the mesophases, the optically isotropic aqueous 0022 solution and the phases separated in the miscibility gap.…”

“…Their structures depend on aggregation numbers n aggr and hydration numbers Z of non-ionic surfactant molecules. The parameter Z characterizes the number of water molecules bound by intermolecular hydrogen bonds with one ether oxygen atom of the poly(ethylene oxide) chain of non-ionic surfactant molecules [2][3][4][5][6][7]11].…”
