Solid-liquid phase behavior of binary fatty acid mixtures 3. Mixtures of oleic acid with capric acid (decanoic acid) and caprylic acid (octanoic acid).

Solid-liquid phase behavior of binary mixtures of oleic acid (OA)/capric acid (C10A) and OA/caprylic acid (C8A) were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction. The phase diagram of OA/C10A mixture constructed from the DSC results suggested that a molecular compound with the composition of OA:C10A = 3:2 is formed in a solid phase, and OA and the molecular compound are miscible, while C10A and the molecular compound are completely immiscible. The formation of the molecular compound was supported by the IR spectroscopic observation, and a possible model of the structure was proposed on the basis of X-ray diffraction spectrum in small angle region. This compound formation is characteristic of the OA/C10A mixture, and may be attributed to the similarity of the acyl chain length of C10A to the lengths of Delta- and omega-chains of OA (i.e., the chain segments divided by cis-double bond). The mixture of OA and C8A, whose chain length is close to but shorter than the two chain segments of OA, provided a eutectic-type phase diagram showing a partial mixing of the two components in OA-rich region. Thermodynamic analysis of the liquidus line in the phase diagram exhibits a systematic trend for the non-ideality parameter of mixing with the variation of the chain length difference between OA and saturated fatty acid species.
