Abstract

The diffusion coefficient of methylene blue (MB) is determined by the method of non-probe microelectrode voltammetry in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/n-C5H11OH/H2O lyotropic liquid crystal system. The results obtained show that the diffusion coefficient of MB increases with water and n-pentanol contents in the microemulsions and the lyotropic liquid crystal but decreases with SDS content. The diffusion coefficient of SDS droplet in the microemulsions and the diffusion coefficient of SDS molecule in the lyotropic liquid crystal with MB all are less than those without MB. The magnitude order of the diffusion coefficient of MB is as follows: the coefficient in the oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion is greater than the coefficient in the water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion which is greater than the coefficient in the lamellar liquid crystal (LLC), which is also greater than the coefficient in the Hex.
