Observed phase behavior of surfactant mixtures as a function of temperature.
The three-phase of the 100 mM C14DMAO/26.5 mM Texapon N70/26.5 mM HCOOH/H2O system appears between 16 and 31°C (a). In the LA/C12EO4/H2O system (WT = 23%; RLA = 0.25) the three-phase region exists from 18 to 30°C (b). Finally, the SL/TTABr/H2O system (cT = 100 mM; RnSL = 0.395) has a three-phase region that exists from 20 to 36°C (c).
