Surface Melting in Alkane Emulsion Droplets as Affected by Surfactant Type

JAOCS, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society | May 1, 2008| | Copyright

Abstract

The influence of surfactant type (Tween 20, Tween 40, Tween 60, Tween 80, Brij 58, Triton X-100, SDS, STS) on the crystallization and melting characteristics of emulsified (mean droplet diameter 0.52 µm) n-octadecane and n-eicosane were studied using microcalorimetry. The melting point (~37 °C) of the eicosane droplets was higher than the crystallization point (~24 °C) and was not affected by the surfactant selected. There was a similar separation between the crystallization (~14 °C) and melting (~28 °C) point of the emulsified octadecane however the details of the transitions ...
