Abstract
Although there is a large body of literature dealing with the transition temperatures of the alkali metal salts of the fatty acids, it has not always been possible to feel confidence in their graphical determination. Hitherto few measurements have been made of the viscosity of soaps as a function of temperature and rate of shear, though such measurements promise to prove useful, as sharp changes have been observed in the regions of previously reported transition points. The viscosity apparatus is described and the results obtained with anhydrous sodium stearate given, from the aspect of transition temperatures and as a study of flow properties.Keywords
