Y. J. CHOU , M. S. EL-AASSER, and J. W. VANDERHOFF Lehigh University, Emulsion Polymers Institute and Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Bethlehem, PA 18015 Styrene or benzene "mini-emulsions" of 0.1-0.3μm diameter were prepared at 63° using aqueous hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide-cetyl alcohol mixtures; the most stable emulsions, formed at 1:3-1:1 molar ratios, contained crystalline, rodlike particles of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetyl alcohol, 1-2μm in length and 0.1-0.2μm in diameter. Conductometric titration of these optimum systems with styrene or benzene gave a near-linear leg descending to an in flection point followed by another near-linear leg ascending to a second inflection point and a near -constant or slowly-decreasing leg thereafter. The descending leg was interpreted as solubilization of the o i l in micelles or crystalline complex, the as cending leg as emulsification to form tiny droplets which grew by coalescence and diffusion, and the near-constant or slowly decreasing leg to droplet growth by diffusion. The conductometric titration curves were expressed by an exponential step function in terms of the initial conductance, the conductances at both inflection points, a solubilization constant, an emulsification constant, and a droplet growth con stant. Iterative computer solution of this mathema tical model gave a reasonable fit of the different experimental titration curves, and the calculated parameters were correlated with the hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetyl alcohol concentra tions, to give the distributions of the emulsifier as solute emulsifier, micellar emulsifier, and emul sifier in the crystalline complex. The correlation of emulsion stability with the presence of the cry stalline, rodlike particles allowed a prediction of emulsion stability. Finally, a three-dimensional 1
