A thermodynamic treatment of surfactant self-assembly in aqueous media is developed that
allows an a priori quantitative prediction of the aggregation behavior of surfactants, starting …

We present a detailed description of a molecular-thermodynamic approach which consists of
blending a molecular model of micellization with a thermodynamic theory of phase behavior …

The complexation of the polyethers with metal ions is of fundamental and practical
importance. Tn particular, the cyclic polyethers, such as the crown ethers, have received …

A detailed description and generalization of a recently developed theory, which provides
analytic representations of the distribution of micellar species and the equilibrium …

Hypothesis Nonionic surfactants alter the wettability of oil-wet carbonate surfaces to a water-
wet state. The degree of surfactant adsorption is expected to determine the extent of the …

The nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 is soluble in water giving only one isotropic solution
phase at about 32° C. The cloud point (CP) of the aqueous system has been measured over …

Various additives are employed in running solutions in capillary electrophoresis (CE) to
enhance separation performance and selectivity. Complexing agents are successfully …

Poly (oxyethylene)(7.5) nonylphenyl ether Is utilized for the cloud point lon-palr extraction of
thiocyanate complexes of traneltlon-metal Ions. The cloud point of this surfactant Is sensitive …

A transport theory and supporting experiments are detailed for the adsorption of surfactant
from micelle solutions onto a clean air/water interface. The study focuses on adsorption from …

Xi), if/g» is large. On the other hand, the aggregation number must be virtually independent
