Study of the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/1,6-hexanediol/water system
The phase diagram of the ternary system CTAB/1,6-hexanediol/water was obtained at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. The system shows a clear, isotropic, and low-viscosity region, the L, phase, and a liquid-crystalline phase characterized as hexagonal phase H-1. The L phase was characterized by conductivity and steady-state fluorescence quenching measurements in order to determine the kind of aggregate that exists in this region. The basic hydrolysis of crystal violet was also studied in the L, phase. Both the L, phase properties and the phase diagram indicate the 1,6-hexanediol behaves as a short-chain alkanol.
