The influence of ascorbic acid on the rheological properties of the microemulsion region of the SDS/pentanol/water system.
The rheological properties of the microemulsion region of the SDS, pentanol, and water micellar system have been studied experimentally. The W/O and O/W microemulsions behave as typical Newtonian fluids: viscosity remains constant independent of the shear rate. For the bicontinuous system the shear-thinning effect is observed. The addition of ascorbic acid to the system caused a microemulsion viscosity increase, which was the highest in the bicontinuous region and at the lowest temperature.
