表面活性剂胶束形状随浓度转变的核磁共振研究

运用核磁共振一维氢谱和自扩散实验方法研究了聚乙烯乙二醇异辛酚醚(TX-100)、十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)和十四烷基三甲基溴化铵(TTAB)三种不同类型的表面活性剂在重水溶液中的胶束形状转变, 发现它们在临界胶束浓度以上的各自相应浓度都有胶束形状的变化(由球状转变为椭球状或棒状). 在常温常压和没有其他添加剂的情况下, 表面活性剂溶液浓度高于其临界胶束浓度时, 球状胶束开始形成. 核磁共振一维氢谱和自扩散实验的结果显示, 当溶液浓度继续增加到一定程度时, 溶液中表面活性剂分子的化学位移和自扩散系数的变化速率都有明显的转折, 这说明溶液中球状胶束开始发生转变. 进一步通过仔细分析对比核磁共振一维氢谱中各基团谱峰, 发现表面活性剂胶束亲水表面上的质子的化学位移变化速率要远高于其疏水内核中的质子, 据此推测胶束形状很可能由球状转变为椭球状或棒状.

直链醇对反胶束体系中木素过氧化物酶催化活性的影响

根据研究发现, 在有醇作助表面活性剂的CTAB反胶束中木素过氧化物酶(LiP)不能表现活力, 而在水介质中CTAB对LiP的催化活性影响又不是很大. 为了揭示其中醇的影响, 本工作就不同碳链长度的醇对LiP酶催化性能的影响进行了研究. 由于CTAB反胶束体系中醇浓度较高, 且碳原子数大于4的直链醇在水中的溶解度又很小, 为此采用了LiP可在其中显示催化活性的CTAB正胶束、AOT反胶束和Brij30反胶束作介质, 通过研究这些介质中不同链长的醇对LiP催化活力的影响, 来探讨CTAB反胶束中木素过氧化物酶(LiP)不能表现活力的原因. 结果表明, 不管表面活性剂聚集体的结构、电性质及反胶束大小如何, 只要醇的浓度超过500 mmol•L^－1 (丁醇≥1200 mmol•L^－1), LiP在上述原本可显示活力的介质中均无催化活性. 据此推测CTAB反胶束中木素过氧化物酶(LiP)不能表现活力的原因主要是由助表面活性剂醇造成的.

LF-NMR结合化学模式识别鉴别油脂种类及餐饮废弃油脂

应用主成分分析(Principal component analysis,PCA)和聚类分析法(Cluster analysis,CA)对9种(27个)常见食用植物油及100个餐饮废油的低场核磁共振(Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance,LF-NMR)(T2)弛豫特性数据进行分析。结果表明:在正常食用油种类区分方面,主成分分析的效果较优,9种食用油在主成分分布图上按种类正确分组,边界清晰。而在正常食用油与餐饮废油的区分方面,聚类分析效果较优,引入30个待测样本后,聚类分析(127个样品,欧式距离=5)的正确率为94.49%,分析误判率为5.51%,分组效果良好。LF-NMR结合化学模式识别可实现对油脂种类及餐饮废弃油脂的鉴别。     

不同嵌段比的PEG-b-PDMAEMA共聚物在水溶液中的自聚集行为

采用氢核磁共振(¹H-NMR)、动态光散射(DLS)及透射电子显微镜(TEM)对聚乙二醇-嵌段-聚甲基丙烯酸N,N-二甲氨基乙酯(PEG-b-PDMAEMA)三种具有不同PEG/PDMAEMA嵌段比的PEG-b-PDMAEMA共聚物在水溶液中的自聚集行为进行了研究. 研究表明, 两嵌段比例是影响聚合物胶束化过程的关键因素: 只有当其中聚乙二醇含量较低(质量分数低于33%)时, 聚合物才具有其pH/温度敏感胶束化特性. 此外, 共聚物溶液随温度胶束化过程与共聚物嵌段比大小密切相关. PEG-b-PDMAEMA这种不同于传统双亲性嵌段共聚物(DHBCs)在选择性溶剂中独特的胶束化行为, 是由聚合物溶液体系中各种基团之间的氢键作用决定的.     

Self-diffusion NMR studies of the host-guest interaction between beta-cyclodextrin and alkyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactants

Diffusion measurements by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were used to investigate the host-guest association between beta-cyclodextrin (CD) and alkyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactants with different chain lengths, ranging from 6 up to 16 carbons. The scope and limitations of the method in the study of formation of inclusion complexes are discussed. The influences of the presence of CD in the micellization process have been studied, and the apparent critical micellar concentration and the self-diffusion coefficients of the species present in the systems have been calculated. The stoichiometries of the different complexes have been determined. Evidence for the formation of a 2:1 complex in the case of C(16)TAB has been found.     

Investigation of the hydration of nonfouling material poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance

The strong surface hydration layer of nonfouling materials plays a key role in their resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption. Poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (polySBMA) is an effective material that can resist nonspecific protein adsorption and cell adhesion. About eight water molecules are tightly bound with one sulfobetaine (SB) unit, and additional water molecules over 8:1 ratio mainly swell the polySBMA matrix, which is obtained through the measurement of T(2) relaxation time by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR). This result was also supported by the endothermic behavior of water/polySBMA mixtures measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Furthermore, by comparing both results of polySBMA and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), it is found that (1) the hydrated water molecules on the SB unit are more tightly bound than on the ethylene glycol (EG) unit before saturation, and (2) the additional water molecules after forming the hydration layer in polySBMA solutions show higher freedom than those in PEG. These results might illustrate the reason for higher resistance of zwitterionic materials to nonspecific protein adsorptions compared to that of PEGs.     

Thermodynamic properties of surfactant sodium n-heptyl sulfonate in water and in aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene glycol) at different temperatures

The volumetric, compressibility and electrical conductivity properties of sodium n-heptyl sulfonate (C₇SO₃Na) in pure water and in aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) solutions were determined at different temperatures below and above the micellar composition range. At each temperature, the infinite dilution apparent molar volumes of the monomer and micellar state of C₇SO₃Na in aqueous PEG solutions respectively are smaller and larger than those in pure water. However, the values of the infinite dilution apparent molar isentropic compressibility of both monomer and micellar states of C₇SO₃Na in aqueous PEG solutions are larger than those in pure water. Thermodynamic parameters of micellization of investigated surfactant in water and in aqueous solutions of PEG at different temperatures were estimated and it was found that the micelle formation process is endothermic and therefore, this process must be driven by entropy increase. The calculated Gibbs free energies of micellization for aqueous PEG solutions are more negative than those for pure water and become more negative by increasing temperature. The variation of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of C₇SO₃Na in water and in aqueous PEG solutions with temperature was obtained and a comparison between the CMC of C₇SO₃Na obtained from different thermodynamic properties was also made.     

Micellization behavior of aromatic moiety bearing hybrid fluorocarbon sulfonate surfactants

Aggregation behavior and thermodynamic properties of two novel homologous aromatic moiety bearing hybrid fluorocarbon surfactants, sodium 2-(2-(4-ethylphenyl)-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethanesulfonate (1) and sodium 2-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-2-(4-vinylphenyl)ethoxy)-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethanesulfonate (2) were studied using surface tension measurements and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) in dilute aqueous solutions at room temperature. Because of the aromatic group in the hydrophobic tail, both surfactants are soluble at room temperature unlike their starting precursor, 5-iodooctafluoro-3-oxapentanesulfonate as well as several other fluorocarbon sulfonic acid salts. Moreover, the surfactant 2 has the ability that it can be polymerized once microemulsions are formed with it. The ionic conductivity measurements of 1 at five different temperatures from 288 to 313 K were carried out to study the effect of temperature on the micellization and its thermodynamics. The pseudophase separation model was applied to estimate thermodynamic quantities from conductivity data. The Gibbs energy of micellization versus temperature exhibited the characteristic U-shaped behavior with a minimum at 306 K. The micellization process was found to be largely entropy driven. Because of its hybrid structure, the entropy change of micellization for 1 was larger than what is common for hydrocarbon surfactants like SDS but less than for fully fluorinated surfactants like NaPFO. The micellization process was found to be following the entropy-enthalpy compensation phenomena.     

Micellization and Thermogelation of Poly(ether urethane)s Comprising Poly(ethylene glycol) and Poly(propylene glycol)

A series of multiblock poly(ether urethane)s comprising poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) segments were synthesized. Their aqueous solutions exhibited thermogelling behavior at critical gelation concentrations (CGC) ranging from 8 to 12 wt%. The composition and structural information of the copolymers were studied by GPC and ¹H NMR. The critical micellization concentration (CMC) and thermodynamic parameters for micelle formation were determined at different temperatures. The temperature response of the copolymer solutions were studied and found to be associated with the composition of the copolymers.     

Synthesis of newly cationic surfactant based on dimethylaminopropyl amine and their silver nanoparticles: Characterization; surface activity and biological activity

The chemical structure of newly synthesized cationic surfactants based on Schiff base was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. The synthesized surfactants were used in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by a simple one-step method. The silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) formation was confirmed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction (SAED), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The structure of the surfactant played an important role in the synthesis process. Increasing the hydrophobic chain length, the stability, and the amount of surfactant increased the quantity of AgNPs formed. The surface activity of the synthesized cationic surfactants was determined using surface tension measurements at three different temperatures. The synthesized surfactants showed a high tendency toward adsorption and micellization. Increasing the hydrophobic chain length of the synthesized surfactant increased its adsorption. Screening the synthesized cationic surfactants and their nano-form against bacteria and fungi showed that they are highly effective. The silver nanoparticles enhanced the biological activity of the synthesized cationic surfactants.     

Formation of micelles of Pluronic block copolymers in PEG 200

The formation of micelles of Pluronic block copolymers in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was studied using fluorescence, solubilization measurements, and frozen fracture electron microscopy (FFEM) methods at 40 degrees C. It was discovered that surfactants L44 (EO(10)PO(23)EO(10)), P85 (EO(26)PO(40)EO(26)), and P105 (EO(37)PO(56)EO(37)) can form micelles in PEG 200 (PEG with a nominal molecular weight of 200), and the critical micellization concentration (CMC) decreases with increasing molecular weight of the surfactants. The size of the micelles formed by these Pluronic block copolymers is in the range of 6-35 nm. The CMC values in PEG 200 are higher than those in aqueous solutions.     

Cloud point variation of amphiphilic drug promethazine hydrochloride with added surfactants

In this paper we report clouding phenomenon occurring in an amphiphilic phenothiazine drug promethazine hydrochloride (PMT) in presence of surfactants. Cationic and nonionic surfactants increase the CP of 75 mM PMT solutions (prepared in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer). These surfactants form mixed micelles with PMT. Anionic surfactants also form mixed micelles with the drug but the CP behavior is different by showing a peaked behavior. At low concentrations, anionic surfactants hinder micelle formation by forming ion-pairs whereas the usual CP decreasing effect at higher concentrations is due to mixed micellization. The CP behavior of 75 mM PMT+50 mM TBAB+surfactant systems is also explored which is found similar to PMT+surfactant systems with the difference only in magnitude of the clouding temperature.
