Abstract:
We examined the morphologies of two-phase emulsions in the ternary 2-butoxyethanol/n-decane/water system at various temperatures and water-to-oil ratios (WORs). The two-phase emulsion morphologies depended on temperature, WOR, and amphiphile concentration, and the results are presented in a temperature-amphiphile concentration coordinate system or a "fish" diagram. The observations made in this work contradict the predictions by the phase-inversion-temperature (PIT) concept. At WOR<1, a vertical inversion line was observed at T

Mosaic nature of the membrane
The mosaic characteristic of the membrane helps the plasma membrane remain fluid. The integral proteins and lipids exist as separate but loosely-attached molecules in the membrane. The membrane is a relatively...
