Abstract

In this work, complex investigations of the temperature and concentration behaviour of the optical refraction properties and specific electrical conductivity properties in lyotropic micellar L1 phase have been carried out. Bicomponent amphiphilic (DDTMABr + HDTMABr) + water lyotropic systems with various DDTMABr/HDTMABr concentration ratios have been objects of our investigations. The phase diagram for L1 phase in this system has been determined. Effect of the DDTMABr/HDTMABr concentration ratios on the refractive index and specific electrical conductivity has been observed. The mutual influence of amphiphile with short alkyl chain (DDTMABr) and long alkyl chain (HDTMABr) on the phase states, refractive index and electrical conductivity properties has been found. Our results show that variation of the concentration ratio in a mixture of amphiphiles with different length of the non-polar tail gives possibility to regulate the hydrophilicity degree, optical density, refraction properties and specific electrical conductivity of mixed lyotropic systems.

Kurzfassung

In dieser Arbeit wurden komplexe Untersuchungen des Temperatur- und Konzentrationsverhaltens, der optischen Brechung und der spezifischen elektrischen Leitfähigkeit in der lyotropen micellaren L1-Phase durchgefüht. Lyotrope Systeme aus zwei amphiphilen Komponenten (DDTMABr + HDTMABr) und Wasser, in denen verschiedene DDTMABr/HDTMABr-Konzentrationsverhältnisse vorlagen, waren Gegenstand unserer Untersuchungen. Das Phasendiagramm für die L1-Phase in diesem System wurde bestimmt. Der Einfluss der DDTMABr/HDTMABr-Konzentrationsverhältnisse auf den Brechungsindex und die spezifische elektrische Leitfähigkeit wurde beobachtet. Der gegenseitige Einfluss von Amphiphilen mit kurzen (DDTMABr) und langen Alkylketten (HDTMABr) auf die Phasenzustände, den Brechungsindex und die elektrischen Leitfähigkeit wurde bestimmt. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Variation des Konzentrationsverhältnisses in einer Mischung von Amphiphilen mit unterschiedlicher Länge des nicht-polaren Anteils die Möglichkeit bietet, den Grad der Hydrophilizität, die optische Dichte, die Brechungseigenschaften und die spezifische elektrische Leitfähigkeit von gemischten lyotropen Systemen zu regulieren.
