Properties and Structure of the Decanolic Solutions in the Sodium Caprylate-Decanol-Water System. II. Density and Viscosity of the Solutions.

Partial molar enthalpies in “inverted micellar” solutions of water and sodium octanoate in decanol

“…This agrees well with the results obtained by NMR measurements, namely that the interionic effects in the areas of the phase that are poorest in water increase strongly (15,16). It has been concluded from viscosity and density measurements (17) that this region is characterized by low molecular aggregates of hydrated sodium octanoate and decanol dispersed in the paraffin-alcohol medium. It is also possible that monomolecular dispersed hydrated sodium octanoate molecules occur here to a small extent.…”

Composition, Properties and Structures of Liquid Crystalline Phases in Systems of Amphiphilic Compounds

“…It was subsequently established that an interaction between soap and alcohol occurs so long as the amount of water suffices for the hydration of the alkali metal ion of the soap [77,27,45, 62\ Micellar aggregates composed of soap, alcohol, and water in various proportions then form and dissolve in the alcohol. With greater amounts of soap and water, liquid crystalline phases appear.…”

Reversed micellar solutions in the system sodium octanoate/decanol/water: Model calculations and dynamic light scattering measurements

“…The experimental points were chosen so as to elucidate the variation in r~pp along a line for which the amount of C10OH increases at constant n(H20)/ [21][22][23]. Since the concentrations in table 2 were chosen so that n(H20)/n(NaC8) = 26, the first eight points in table I and the values of table 2 may be compared.…”
