Abstract

Calcium dodecyl sulfate (CDS) was solubilized in the aqueous micellar solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate and in the lamellar liquid crystal obtained from water, sodium dodecyl sulfate and decanal. The solubilization of CDS in the micellar solution was strongly increased with the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate while the maximum amount of CDS solubilized in the liquid crystal remained similar. The solubilization in the micellar solution was gradually increased with the alcohol content with a sudden reduction to zero at the decanol/sodium-dodecyl-sulfate ratio marking the end of the micellar region with no calcium soap being present. The dependence of the solubilization on the decanol/sodium-dodecyl-sulfate ratio was the opposite in the lamellar liquid-crystalline phase. It suddenly rose to a maximum at the lowest values of the alcohol/sodium-dodecyl-sulfate ratio and the interlayer spacing in the lamellar liquid crystal showed a pronounced reduction for initial addition of the calcium soap. © 1984.
