Surfactant diffusion through bicontinuous micellar networks: A case study of the C(9)G(1)/C(10)G(1)/H2O mixed surfactant system

Abstract
Self-diffusion coefficients were obtained by means of NMR diffusometry for differing ratios of n-decyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (C(10)G(1)) and n-nonyl-beta-D-glueopyranoside (C(9)G(1)) surfactant mixtures, along dilution lines through the micellar region of the ternary C(9)G(1)/C(10)G(1)/H2O phase diagram. Networks of bicontinuous micelles have been suggested to exist throughout the micellar regions of the phase diagram. A phase separation into two coexisting liquid solutions is observed in the dilute, C(10)G(1)-rich regions of the phase diagram. The fact that the dilution curves follow scaling relations pertaining to surfactant diffusion in a network for mixtures rich in C(10)G(1) indicates that the phase separation is due to differences...

Networks of bicontinuous micelles have been suggested to exist throughout the micellar regions of the phase diagram. A phase separation into two coexisting liquid solutions is observed in the dilute, C(10)G(1)-rich regions of the phase diagram. The fact that the dilution curves follow scaling relations pertaining to surfactant diffusion in a network for mixtures rich in C(10)G(1) indicates that the phase separation is due to differences in the networks in different micellar regions of the phase diagram; networks remain largely intact despite dilution down to the phase separation in the C(10)G(1)-rich region, whereas networks with scissions are predicted to exist in the C(9)G(1)-rich regions of the micellar phase.
