Studies on properties of different reverse micelles

This experiment is designed to study the properties of different reverse micelle,and determine Wo,viscosity and conductivity value of AOT/isooctane single reverse micelle system and AOT-Tween 85/isooctane-n-octyl alcohol mixed reverse micelle system.Results show that,on the same Wo conditions,the viscosity of AOT-Tween 85 mixed reverse micelle is greater than AOT single reverse micelle.The viscosity of AOT reverse micelle increased and then reduced with the increase of Wo,but AOT-Tween 85 reverse micelle increased.The conductivity value of two different reverse micelle system are increased and then decreased with the increase of Wo,and the Wo,max of AOT- Tween 85 conductivity value moved to a bigger Wo value as the mass ratio of the AOT increased.The experimental results show that,due to the increase of Wo,reverse micelle inter-atomic forces increase between molecules,thus the number of gathered reverse micelle increase,so viscosity increases,but the difference of two reverse micelle system is mainly due to water soluble ability.Conductivity can also react micelle change behavior,AOT-Tween 85 reverse micellepooldiameter is bigger AOT reverse micelle under the same conditions.
