Popis: | The phase behavior of a long hydrophobic chain A−B-type silicone surfactant, Me3SiO−(Me2SiO)m-2−Me2SiCH2CH2CH2−O−(CH2CH2O)nH (Sim C3EOn), in water was investigated by phase study and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The types of liquid crystals or self-organized structures are highly dependent on both EO-chain (n) and poly(dimethylsiloxane)-chain (m) lengths or the volume ratio of the EO chain to the total surfactant, nVEO/VS, which is related to the classical Griffin's HLB value. Reverse discontinuous cubic phase (I2) for Si14C3EO7.8 and Si25C3EO7.8,12.2,15.8, reverse hexagonal phase (H2) for Si14C3EO12, lamellar (Lα) phase for Si14C3EO15.8 and Si25C3EO51.6, and hexagonal (H1) and discontinuous cubic (I1) phases for Si5.8C3EO36.6,51.6 are formed. Hence, both hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains affect the surfactant layer curvature, but in an opposite way. On the other hand, the effective cross-sectional area per surfactant at the hydrophobic surface of self-organized structures, aS, increases with inc... |
