Popis: It has been demonstrated that isoperibolic titration calorimetry can be used to determine the tie-triangles (i.e., compositions of conjugate top, middle, and bottom phases) of amphiphile/oil/water systems. Simple regressions to temperatures, heats, or their respective derivatives, measured as a function of system composition, gave multiple compositional points on each side of the tie-triangle. An equation for each side then was calculated from a regression to the respective set of compositional points. Finally, phase compositions were obtained by solving the equations for the respective sides of the tie-triangle for their three points of intersection. No dependence of the phase boundary points on the morphologies of the emulsions was found. Densities of 2-butoxyethanol from 24 to 50°C also are reported.
