cosurfactant in British English (ˌkəʊsɜːˈfæktənt) noun chemistry a surfactant that acts in addition to another surfactant, further reducing the surface tension of a liquid Examples of 'cosurfactant' in a sentencecosurfactant Dye/oil/surfactant/cosurfactant mixing ratio was made, based on quaternary phase diagrams.Solubility studies were conducted to select the oil, surfactant and cosurfactant.Addition of cosurfactant modifies the water solubility and the properties of the system.A three-phase diagram was constructed to obtain the optimal concentrations of the selected oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant.Solubility and emulsification tests were performed to select a suitable combination of oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant.Ternary phase diagram was constructed to identify different oil-surfactant-cosurfactant mixtures according to the proportion of each point in it.The effect of cosurfactant on size and morphology of the obtained products have been explored in this work. |
