When a quaternary ammonium surfactant has a suitable solubility in a polar solvent, it can induce the phase self-separation of mutually soluble polar and apolar mixed solvents and a stable interface between the two phases can be formed. This phenomenon was attributed to the quaternary ammonium surfactant reaching suitable solubility in the polar solvent and driving out a considerable part of the apolar solvent, in which the surfactant is insoluble. As a result, phase separation appears. Using aqueous surfactant two-phase as reference, we suggest that it be termed as nonaqueous surfactant two-phase (NSTP) and also as two oil phases for short.
