The effect of various polyethoxylate chain lengths (polyethylene glycol with 7, 11, and 16 units of ethylene oxide (EO) monomer) as the surfactant's hydrophilic head on the cloud point was investigated. The effect of varying amounts of sodium chloride and five different ionic surfactants on the cloud points of the synthesized nonionic surfactants were also presented. When the chain length of polyethoxylate increased, the cloud point of the synthesized nonionic surfactant also increased, ranging from 16°C, 43°C, and 64°C for 7, 11, and 16 EO units, respectively. Increments in sodium chloride concentration depressed the cloud point values of the synthesized nonionic surfactants linearly. The addition of ionic surfactants elevated the cloud points of the synthesized nonionic surfactant. However, in the presence of sodium chloride, the cloud point of the mixed ionic-nonionic solution was suppressed and anincrease in ionic surfactant concentration was required to elevate the cloud point. It was also found that the cloud points of synthesized surfactants can be raised up to 95°C in the presence of 4wt NaCl solution. © 2014 Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. date: 2014 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84896086528&doi=10.1080%2f01932691.2013.783492&partnerID=40&md5=b4e9469bf1c1bbcc9e81056ac0354ca3 id_number: 10.1080/01932691.2013.783492 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology volume: 35 number: 3 pagerange: 322-328 refereed: TRUE issn: 01932691 citation: Mushtaq, M. and Tan, I.M. and Ismail, L. and Lee, S.Y.C. and Nadeem, M. and Sagir, M.
