Dielectric Behavior of Middle Phase Microemulsion

l ntroductionMicroemulsiolls are transparent and nuid systems composed of water, oil andamphiphilic molecules. They form spontaneously with simple mixing. Microemulsionsmay be water- or oil- continuous and bicontinuous under some conditions of temperatureor composition. Middle phase microemulsions(MPME) is called the 'bicontinuousstate' which is considered to be a sponge-like random netWork. Owing to its ultralowinterfacial tellsiolls against the excess water and oil phase with which they ar…     

烷基聚葡糖苷C9.6G1.3/n-C4H9OH/n-C6H14/H2O微乳液体系的介电弛豫谱研究

The pseudotertiary phase diagram of the microemulsion system alkyl polyglucoside/n-butanol/n-hexane/water was plotted at （30.0±0.1） ℃. The dielectric measurements, including permittivity, conductivity, relaxation strength, characteristic relaxation time, etc,, were applied to investigate the microstructure of the system. Unique dielectric relaxations were observed over the frequency range of 5-10^7 Hz, taking place possibly through an interracial polarization mechanism. According to the results obtained from dielectric spectroscopy, the structures of the microemulsion O/W, BC and W/O were determined, and some dielectric and phase parameters were calculated.     

Studies on the Phase Properties of Winsor I-III Type Microemulsions with Dielectric Relaxation Spectroscopy

Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable,isotropic mixtures of water,oil,surfactant and cosurfactant that exhibit wide variety of microstructure.Winsor identified four general types of phase equilibria:Type I(O/W),II(W/O),III(B.C.)and IV(isotropic micellar solution)1.Type I and II are two-phase systems,type III a three-phase system,and type IV a single-phase system.Depending on surfactant type and sample environment,types I,II,III or IV form preferentially,the dominant type bein…

介电松弛谱法是研究高分子链松弛运动的一种有效方法.它可反映出分子的特征结构信息,对揭示高分子链动力学行为的本质及规律、调控其凝聚态结构意义重大.本文从介电松弛谱理论出发,总结出几种常用的介电特征参数以及用于解析这些参数的数学模型.通过介电松弛谱中高分子链的弛豫过程的解析,可得出与高分子链运动相关的特征参数,如介电常数、介电松弛强度以及链运动的特征松弛时间,从而判断链松弛运动的尺寸小大,松弛的基团以及链运动的协同过程;还可与Arrenius方程、Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher（VFT）方程、统计学模型建立联系,获得界面构造、分子内部组成、链动力学行为同环境的依存性等信息,为高分子材料的分子设计、开发与应用奠定高分子物理理论基础.     

Studies on the Phase Properties of Winsor Ⅰ-Ⅲ Type Microemulsions with Dielectric Relaxation Spectroscopy

The dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) of Winsor Ⅰ～Ⅲ microemulsions for nonionic surfactant octyl polyglucoside C8G1.46/1-butanol/cyclohexane/water system was studied.The experiment shows that the permittivity decreases with the increase in the frequency and clear dielectric relaxation phenomena were observed. Permittivity obviously decreases with the change of the microstructure of the microemulsion, W/O, B.C. and O/W can be distinguished by the permittivity.     

Partial Phase Diagrams in the System Water/Formamide/Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate/Decanol

The phase regions were determined in the systems of sodium dodecyl sulfate, decanol and a polar solvent. The latter was a) water, b) water and formamide (1/1 weight ratio) and c) formamide

The water system showed an aqueous micellar solution, a decanol solution with inverse micelles as well as a lamellar and a hexagonal liquid crystal. The formamide system gave a formamide solution, a lamellar liquid crystal and a decanol solution while the system with water plus formamide in a 1/1 ratio still retained the hexagonal liquid crystal.     

Temperature Effect on the Phase Behavior of the Systems Water/TritonX-100,114,405/n-Butanol/n-Hexane

We have investigated the effect of temperature on the phase behavior and the partition coefficients of nonionic surfactants in water/n-hexane systems. We found that the composition of the conjugate single and two phase solution in the pseudoternary diagram is continuously transformed from one state to other by increasing the temperature. We also demonstrated that the partition coefficient of a nonionic surfactant is a measure of the relative hydrophilic-lipophilic nature of the surfactant, if the measurement is performed at low concentration.     

Advances in the Study of Gas Hydrates by Dielectric Spectroscopy

The influence of kinetic hydrate inhibitors on the process of natural gas hydrate nucleation was studied using the method of dielectric spectroscopy. The processes of gas hydrate formation and decomposition were monitored using the temperature dependence of the real component of the dielectric constant ε′(T). Analysis of the relaxation times τ and activation energy ΔE of the dielectric relaxation process revealed the inhibitor was involved in hydrogen bonding and the disruption of the local structures of water molecules.     

Dielectric Spectra of Aerosol OT/Water Systems at Different Concentrations and Temperatures

The dielectric spectra of aerosol OT[AOT, sodium(bis-2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate]/water systems at different concentrations and temperatures were investigated by the dielectric relaxation spectroscopy(DRS). Through the dielectric spectra of different concentrations, two dielectric relaxations were observed over a frequency range from 40 Hz to 110 MHz and the mechanisms of the relaxations were also interpreted based on the Grosse’s model. The low-frequency relaxation(around 105 Hz) was attributed to the radial diffusion of counterions along the long-half axis of the rod-like micelle, and the high-frequency relaxation(around 106 Hz) was ascribed to the radial diffusion of counterions along the short-half axis. Furthermore, specific emphasis was placed on studying the effects of temperature on system’s conductivity. It was observed that the low-frequency limit of conductivity(κl) decreased and then increased with the increment of temperature under the measured concentration. On the other hand, the conductivity(κm and κh) in meso- and high-frequency ranges always increased as temperature increased. Both the tendencies of alteration which mentioned above should be related to the phase transition of AOT/water system.
