The physicochemistry and percolation behavior of microemulsions as a function of chain length of cosurfactant and surfactant

This study involved investigating phase behavior and physicochemical characterization of microemulsions (MEs) stabilized by mixtures containing polysorbates (C12-C18) as surfactants and n-alkanols (C2-C6) as cosurfactants. Distribution coefficients and Gibbs free energy were also determined for the...
