Kerr effect of Xanthan/DTAB aqueous solutions

The Kerr effect of the Xanthan (charged polyelectrolyte; 113 ppm)/DTAB (surfactant) mixture in aqueous solution was studied. The static Kerr constant (B) and mean relaxation times (τ) values as a function of surfactant concentration (CDTAB) were determined. The observed birefringence (Δn) is not a l...

description The Kerr effect of the Xanthan (charged polyelectrolyte; 113 ppm)/DTAB (surfactant) mixture in aqueous solution was studied.

The observed birefringence (Δn) is not a linear function of the electric applied field (E 2). For small E values Δn grows with E2 and at a certain field value the birefringence tends to saturate. The addition of small quantities of DTAB lowers B values with respect to the Kerr constant of Xanthan (113 ppm) aqueous solution.
