Abstract
Abstract The phase behavior of microemulsions containing composite surfactants of non-ionic alkyl polyglucoside and anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate was studied by the ∊-β fishlike phase diagram method. In microemulsion systems APG(SDS)/alcohol/alkane/water, there exists an obvious synergistic effect in terms of the composition of the interfacial layer and the solubilization ability. In the interfacial layer the number of surfactant and alcohol molecules notably decrease, resulting in a significant improvement in the solubilization ability of the system. The effects of alcohols, alkanes and salinity on the ∊-β fishlike phase diagrams of APG/SDS/alcohol/alkane/brine microemulsion systems were also discussed.
