Surfactant mols. have been extensively used as emulsifying agents to stabilize immiscible fluids. Droplet stability has been shown to be increased when ordered nanoscale phases form at the interface of the two fluids due to surfactant association Here, we report on using mixtures of a cationic surfactant and long chained alkenes with polar head groups [e.g., cetylpyridinium chloride (CPCl) and oleic acid] to create an ordered nanoscale lamellar morphol. at aqueous-oil interfaces. The self-assembled nanostructure at the liquid-liquid interface was characterized using small-angle x-ray scattering, and the mech. properties were measured using interfacial rheol. We hypothesize that the resulting lamellar morphol. at the liquid-liquid interface is driven by the change in critical packing parameter when the CPCl mols. are diluted by the presence of the long chain alkenes with polar head groups, which leads to a spherical micelle-to-lamellar phase transition. The work presented here has larger implications for using nanostructured interfacial material to sep. different fluids in flowing conditions for biosystems and in 3D printing technol.
