The phase diagram of octaoxyethylene dodecylethervs.water system has been determined. On the basis of these results as well as of published thermodynamic data, the thermodynamic aspects and the dissolution mechanism of nonionic surfactant-water systems are discussed. Unlike ordinary solutions, an aqueous solution of nonionic surfactant resembles, in principle, a fine dispersion of the two phases. One is the water phase containing a very small amount of nonionic surfactant (0.02 wt %), and the other is the swollen surfactant phase. The thermodynamic properties agree with such a model. The mechanism of the dissolution of biopolymers and polysoaps can be explained similarly.
