Anionic surfactants storage stability

Alkyl ether sulfates (AES) are anionic surfactants obtained by ethoxy-lation and subsequent salfation of alcohols derived from feedstock or synthetic alcohol. AES, also known as alcohol ether sulfates, have low sensitivity to water hardness (Fig. 5.3), high solubility, and good storage stability at low temperature [4, 11]. 

Gldckner et al. [79] tested the stability of perfluorinated surfactants in acids or alkali under severe conditions. The 0.1% solutions of anionic surfactants in 60% nitric acid or 98% sulfuric acid containing 10 g/L chromic oxide were stored for a time span of 43 days, of which 28 days were storage at 90°C. The surface tensions of the anionic surfactants changed very little during the test (Table 4.10) [79]. 

Both hydrophilic and lipophilic surfactants can be used to stabilize the polymeric nanoparticles. Generally the lipophilic surfactant is a natural lecithin of relatively low phosphotidylcholine content, whereas the hydrophilic one is synthetic anionic (lauryl sulfate), cationic (quaternary ammonium), or more commonly nonionic [poly(oxyethylene)-poly(propylene)glycol]. Nanoparticles can be prepared in the absence of surfactants, but there are lots more chances to get aggregated during storage. 

Asphalt emulsions are used in road paving for the production of a smooth, water-repellant surface. First, an asphalt O/W emulsion is formulated, which has sufficiently low viscosity to be easy to handle and apply, and which has sufficient stability to survive transportation, brief periods of storage, and the application process itself. The emulsion needs to be able to shear thin during application, and then break quickly when it contacts the aggregate. The asphalt emulsions are usually 40-70% bitumen and stabilized either by natural naphthenic surfactants released by treatment with alkali (for a somewhat similar situation involving bitumen processing see also [64]), or else by the addition of anionic or cationic surfactant [106]. Emulsified asphalt can be applied to gravel or rock even when wet [1,20,105,106].

Attaching molecular chains onto the surface may alter the properties of the latex particles. One of the key properties for the performance and the storage of the latex present in paints, food product, cosmetics, medicines, and so on, is their colloidal stability. There are huge amounts of molecular chains that can control the particle stability and sometimes allow for further functionalization. These molecular chains can be termed as surfactants and they are classified as ionic (anionic or cationic) or nonionic surfactants depending on whether they have or have not ionic groups in the structure and as low-molecular-weight or polymeric surfactants as a function of the molecular weight.
