The approximation (42) becomes less reliable with decreasing amphiphile strength, as shown in Fig. 8. [Pg.79]

Amphiphile strength (IV) > (II). Outside the non-ionic domain, an alcohol of medium chain length is a weaker amphiphile than if the hydrophilic head is ionisable (e.g., a sulfate or sulfonate group). [Pg.144]

Looking beyond local effects regarding the interfacial film (such as curvature and surface pressure), we may predict that adding other components to the system will also modify these two parameters (amphiphile strength and HLB). [Pg.144]

A host of molecular parameters, compositional parameters and field variables, can influence amphiphile strength and microemulsion structure. These perturbing variables include length and structure of the surfactant tail, stmcture, length, and charge of the surfactant head, solvent structure and composition, aqueous-phase composition (especially electrolyte content) as well as temperature and pressure. As a result, the, locations of the tietriangle and binodal curves in the phase diagram depend on all of these variables (35, 36), because all of these factors can influence the amphiphile-oil-water interaction. [Pg.580]

Most of the Langmuir films we have discussed are made up of charged amphiphiles such as the fatty acids in Chapter IV and the lipids in Sections XV-4 and 5. Depending on the pH and ionic strength of the subphase, electrostatic effects can become quite important. Here we develop the theoretical foundation for charged films with the Donnan relationship. Then we mention the influence of subphase pH on film behavior. [Pg.553]

In the CHS model only nearest neighbors interact, and the interactions between amphiphiles in the simplest version of the model are neglected. In the case of the oil-water symmetry only two parameters characterize the interactions b is the strength of the water-water (oil-oil) interaction, and c describes the interaction between water (oil) and an amphiphile. The interaction between amphiphiles and ordinary molecules is proportional to a scalar product between the orientation of the amphiphile and the distance between the particles. In Ref. 15 the CHS model is generalized, and M orientations of amphiphiles uniformly distributed over the sphere are considered, with M oo. Every lattice site is occupied either by an oil, water, or surfactant particle in an orientation ujf, there are thus 2 + M microscopic states at every lattice site. The microscopic density of the state i is p.(r) = 1(0) if the site r is (is not) occupied by the state i. We denote the sum and the difference of microscopic oil and water densities by and 2 respectively and the density of surfactant at a point r and an orientation by p (r) = p r,U(). The microscopic densities assume the values = 1,0, = 1,0 and 2 = ill 0- In close-packing case the total density of surfactant ps(r) is related to by p = Ylf Pi = 1 - i i. The Hamiltonian of this model has the following form [15]... [Pg.721]
