Abstract
The stability of CGAs(colloidal gas aphrons) prepared from non-ionic and ionic surfactants was investigated. Those surfactants were sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS), Triton X-100, Tween 80 and Quillaja Saponin. The stability of CGAs prepared from single surfactants or mixed surfactants(two components) using a CGA generate. was investigated as functions of temperature, surfactant concentration and stirring time. Saponin among the single surfactants has shown the longest duration time(143 min) and then, Triton X-100, SDS, and Tween 80 were followed by at room temperature. In case of CGAs heated up to $70^{\circ}C$, SDS endured for 116 min but Saponin lasted for only 105 mit which was a considerable reduction of the duration time of CGAs at room temperature. For mixed surfactant pairs, stability of any one pairs stood between the two. That meant no synergic effect for surfactant blending. At the higher temperature, Saponin+Triton X-100 was disclosed to be the lowest, 53 min meanwhile Saponin+SDS was the highest at ambient temperature. The CGAs, initially about 140 ${\mu}m$ in diameter, began to grow right after the agitation to be about 190 ${\mu}m$ owing to coalescence of the bubbles and then became to collapse. When heated, CGAs including Saponin tended to be smaller while the others to be larger. In summary, we found that the stability of CGAs or the duration time was greater for single surfactants and at room temperature rather than for mixed surfactants that caused substantial intermolecular interactions in the CGA structure and at the higher temperature.
