  Why are they all calculating mole ratio wrong?

  Posted by Abdullah on November 14, 2024 at 12:38 am

  First i saw several SLS: cetearyl alcohol blends at 1:9 weight ratio claiming LGN formation. Now i saw this study that said ” 1:9 weight ratio of SLS: cetyl, stearyl or cetearyl alcohol has 1:5 mole ratio.”

  Why are they all calculating mole ratio of SLS: fatty alcohol wrong?

  @Abdullah The researchers chose a 1:5 mole ratio perhaps arbitrarily. Regardless: thank you so much for sharing this article. It explains a lot about LLC formation with fatty alcohols. Many thanks to you my friend.
