An HLD framework for cationic ammonium surfactants

The Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Difference (HLD) model can be described by additive contributions accounting for the effect of the oil and surfactant nature, temperature, ionic strength, and so on. The first step to build an HLD framework for a surfactant class is to have Winsor III phase equilibria in a...

An HLD framework for cationic ammonium surfactants
description The Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Difference (HLD) model can be described by additive contributions accounting for the effect of the oil and surfactant nature, temperature, ionic strength, and so on. The first step to build an HLD framework for a surfactant class is to have Winsor III phase equilibria in a restricted range of formulation variables. In this respect, anionic and nonionic surfactants are well suited for an HLD study. On the contrary, it is difficult achieve for pure cationic surfactant Winsor III phase equilibria without the addition of alcohols and this has precluded the extension of the HLD to cationic surfactants.In the present contribution, we first propose a system based on a blend of single-tailed and double-tailed cationic surfactant to study the oil contribution, and then we afforded the determination of the surfactant contribution trough an experimental approach (the “HLD-titration”) that is especially tailored for systems displaying a wide range of existence of Winsor III phase equilibria.HLD-titration results confirmed the ionic strength contribution to HLD as a logarithmic function of salinity for cationic-based microemulsions similarly to anionic ones.
