Rapid microfluidic phase mapping of SDS:water:butanol

DOI

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are generally used in multi-component aqueous formulations, containing co-surfactants, co-solvents and salts, as well as polymers or colloids. Establishing multi-component phase diagrams is complex and time-consuming, given the large parameter space which, in addition to composition, can involve temperature, pressure and non-equilibrium perturbations, such as temperature fluctuations or vibrations, which are known to impact the stability and performance of such systems.This proposal seeks to evaluate a novel microfluidic approach for the rapid phase mapping of a model formulation. We select a ternary mixture of SDS, water and butanol for this demonstration, since its phase diagram has been coarsely determined.
