Fatty acids, as a typical example of stearic acid, are a kind of cheap surfactant and have important applications.. The,,,challenging problem Of industrial applications is their solubility. Herein, three organic amines-ethanolamine (EA), diethanolamine (DEA), and triethanolamine (TEA)-were used as counterions to increase the solubility of stearic mid, and the phase behaviors were investigated systematically. The phase diagrams were delineated at 25 and 50 degrees C, respectively. The phase-transition temperature was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, and the micro-structures were vesicles, and planar sheets observed by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) observations. The: apparent viscosity of the samples was determined by rheological characterizations, The values, ran, for the three systems were less, than 30 mN.m(-1). Typical samples of bilayers used as foaming agents and emulsifiers were investigated for the foaming and emulsification assays CO2 was introduced to change the solubility of stearic acid, inducing the transition of their surface activity and further achieving the goal of defoaming and demulsification.
