Tn the three-liquid-phase coexisting region of the system water + tetradecane + diethylene glycol monohexyl ether (C6E2), the middle surfactant-rich phase undergoes a sequence of wetting transitions comprising nonwetting → partial wetting → complete wetting at the interface of oil-rich and water-rich phases as the temperature is raised from its lower critical con-solute temperature toward its upper critical con-solute temperature In this study, the effect of oil chain length on the wetting transition in the system water + C6E2 + oil (dodecane, decane, and octane) s investigated by interfacial tension measurements. A sequence of wetting transitions, nonwetting → partial wetting → complete wetting, of the middle C6E2-rich phase is observed in all 3 systems while the system temperature increases. A decrease of the oil chain length in the system water + C6E2 + oil would make the three-liquid-phase body shrink and lead the system to approach a tricritical point. The effect of the system water + C6E2 + oil approaching its tricritical point on the wetting behavior of the middle C6E2-rich phase is discussed. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-(2-(Hexyloxy)ethoxy)ethanol (cas: 112-59-4Formula: C10H22O3).
2-(2-(Hexyloxy)ethoxy)ethanol (cas: 112-59-4) belongs to ethers. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Cyclic esters are called lactones, regardless of whether they are derived from an organic or inorganic acid. One example of an organic lactone is γ-valerolactone.Formula: C10H22O3
