Abstract

The nonionic surfactants Triton X 100 and Triton X 114 form isotropic micellar solutions around 25°C. One of the characteristic features of these solutions is the fact that at higher temperatures they undergo clouding and liquid-liquid phase separation. Addition of various additives to the surfactant solutions does change the temperature at which the clouding phenomenon occurs. In this paper such effect of additives on the clouding phenomenon of Triton X 100 and Triton X 114 are discussed.
