Abstract
Polyethylene glycol is water soluble and forms an eutectic system with water. The eutectic temperature is −19 °C for M=1500 g mol−1 and increases with molecular weight. The dielectric relaxation spectrum of the mixtures exhibits a strong loss maximum in ϵ″ (ω) similar to pure water. Relaxation time increases with the addition of PEG. Activation energies exhibit a maximum of 0.35 eV at molar fraction χp≈0.2. This compares well with results on ethanol water mixtures. Adding PEG molecules to nanoscopic water droplets of inverse microemulsions has only small impact on the bending modulus κ of a non-ionic microemulsion. In AOT based microemulsions an increase or decrease of κ is found in dependence on the size of the droplets. This is in accordance with the variation of the dynamic percolation transition in the same systems.
