| Popis: | We study the evolution of the mass of evaporating single microdroplets of sodium do-decyl sulphate (SDS) / diethylene glycol (DEG) mixture. First, we recognise and deconvolute the influence of residual water evaporation [Kolwas et al. Soft Matter 2019;15:1825], which accelerates the composite droplet evaporation, a simple exponential decay of the evaporating droplet surface change rate. This enables us to study the influence of SDS concentration on the composite droplet evaporation. Next, we establish a simple relationship between the average SDS concentration and the droplet evaporation rate to enable the study of the evolution of SDS concentration at the droplet surface. The oscillatory nature of surface SDS concentration indicates cyclic changes in the surface monolayer associated with the cyclic creation of vesicles (micelles) at the surface. The model we developed, allows the determination of SDS critical micelles concentration (CMC) in DEG as 60+/-2 mM. 19 pages, 10 figures, 2 Appendices |
