Herein, measurements of the cloud point (CP) of Triton X-100 (TX-100)/ TX-100 + polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400) systems were carried out in aqueous/additive solutions. For the clouding process of TX-100 in H 2 O, the CP values were observed to be reduced first by means of enhancing the TX-100 content up to a fixed level and then increased with increasing content. The CP values of TX-100 were observed to be increased in the presence of PEG-400 and the CP values were further enhanced with enhancing content of PEG-400 in the aqueous medium. In the case of the aqueous solution of alcohol, the CP values of TX-100 solution in the presence and absence of PEG-400 were almost reduced with increasing chain length of alcohols used. For TX-100 + PEG-400 mixed systems, the observed CP values were found to be reduced to a small extent with increasing content of polyols (glucose, galactose, and maltose) and follow the following order: glucose ≈ galactose > maltose. The CP values of TX-100 + PEG-400 mixed systems were observed to be reduced with enhancing contents of diols used. The impact of various diols on increasing CP values of the TX-100 + PEG-400 system was observed in the subsequent trend: 1,2-propanediol > 1,2ethanediol. The clouding phenomena of the TX-100 + PEG-400 system were observed to be delayed with enhancing the extent of urea.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
