乙二醇对烷基三甲基溴化铵胶团化行为的影响

利用电导法研究了烷基三甲基溴化铵表面活性剂(CnTAB,n=12,14,16),即十二烷基三甲基溴化铵(DTAB),十四烷基三甲基溴化铵(TTAB)和十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB),在混合极性溶剂乙二醇/水(体积分数0～40%)中的胶团化行为。考察了温度对胶团形成的影响,应用相分离模型估算了三个表面活性剂的胶团热力学参数。结果表明临界胶团浓度(cmc)和反离子解离度(α)都随乙二醇组分的增加而增大。在乙二醇/水混合溶剂中胶团形成的标准吉布斯自由能相差很小,混合焓都是负值,而混合熵都为正值,说明焓-熵补偿效应在胶团形成中起主导作用。     

Heat capacities of butanol and pentanol in aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions

Heat capacities of the ternary systems water-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)-butanol and water-DTAB-pentanol were measured at 25°C. The standard partial molar heat capacities of pentanol in micellar solutions show a maximum at about 0.35 mol-kg^–1 DTAB that has been attributed to a micellar structural transition. This maximum tends to vanish by increasing the alcohol concentration and by decreasing the alcohol alkyl chain length; in the case of butanol it was not detected. The behavior of the standard partial molar heat capacities of alcohols in micellar solutions in the region above the cmc and below the structural transition was explained using a previously reported mass-action model for the alcohol distribution between the aqueous and the micellar phase and the pseudophase transition model for micellization. In the resulting equation the contributions due to the temperature effect on the shift of both the micellization equilibrium and the distribution are shown to be negligible so that only the distribution effect and the shift of the micellization equilibrium due to the added alcohol remain. The distribution constant and the partial molar heat capacities of alcohols in the aqueous and micellar phases have been derived by linear regression. The distribution constant for both alcohols agree well with those previously obtained using different techniques. Since the best fit below the structural transition correlates as well with the experimental points above the structural transition, it seems that no difference exists in the standard partial molar heat capacities of alcohols in the two shapes of the micelles. Also, from the present data and those for alkanols in sodium dodecylsulfate reported in the literature it seems that the standard heat capacity of alcohols in the micellar phase does not depend on both the alcohol alkyl chain length and the nature of the hydrophilic moiety of the head group of the micelles.

Effects of alcohols on micellization and on the reaction methyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate + Br− in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide aqueous micellar solutions

The effects of n‐hexanol, n‐pentanol, and n‐butanol on the critical micelle concentration (cmc), on the micellar ionization degree (α), and on the rate of the reaction methyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate + Br^? have been investigated in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) aqueous solutions. An increase in the alcohol concentration present in the solution produces a decrease in the cmc and an increase in the micellar ionization degree. Kinetic data show that the observed rate constant decreases as alcohol concentration increases. This result was rationalized by considering variations in the equilibrium binding constant of the methyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate molecules to the micelles, variations in the interfacial bromide ion concentration, and variations in the characteristics of the water–alcohol bulk phase provoked by the presence of alcohols. When these operative factors are considered, kinetic data in this and other works show that the second‐order rate constants in the micellar pseudophases of water–alcohol micellar solutions are quite similar to those estimated in the absence of alcohols. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of glycerol on micelle formation by ionic and nonionic surfactants at 25 degrees C

The effect of glycerol on the micellization of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and of the ethoxylated nonionic surfactant Brij 58 has been investigated by various experimental techniques. For both surfactants the critical micellar concentration (cmc), determined by surface tension measurements, is almost unaffected by the presence of glycerol in the mixture; only at high glycerol concentrations (>/=20% w/w) does the cmc significantly increase. The area per surfactant molecule at the air-solution interface, A, increases with increasing glycerol weight percentage, w(g). Fluorescence quenching measurements indicate that the presence of glycerol induces a lowering of the aggregation number of both surfactants. The glycerol intradiffusion coefficient has been measured by the pulsed-gradient spin-echo NMR technique as a function of glycerol content at constant surfactant concentration. It is almost unaffected by the presence of the surfactants, indicating that no direct glycerol-surfactant interaction occurs in the mixture. The surfactant intradiffusion coefficient has been also measured. In the case of CTAB, it increases with increasing glycerol concentration, a reflection of the decreased aggregation number. For Brij 58, in spite of the lowering of the aggregation number, the surfactant intradiffusion coefficient decreases with increasing glycerol concentration, suggesting an increase of the intermicellar interaction. The experimental evidence shows that for both surfactants the micellization is affected by the presence of glycerol through an indirect, solvent-mediated mechanism. In the case of CTAB, the main effect of glycerol is a lowering of the medium dielectric constant, which enhances the electrostatic interactions in solution. In the case of Brij 58, the results can be interpreted in terms of a salting-out effect according to which glycerol competes with the surfactant for water molecules, causing a dehydration of the surfactant ethoxylic headgroup.     

Synthesis and dilute aqueous solution properties of ester functionalized cationic gemini surfactants having different ethylene oxide units as spacer

New series of ester functionalized quaternary ammonium gemini surfactants having different ethylene oxide units as spacer have been synthesized and investigated for their aggregation behavior and thermodynamic properties of micellization by surface tension, conductivity, and fluorescence methods. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of these gemini surfactants increases with the increase in the length of polar hydrophilic ethylene oxide spacer. The micellization process has been found to be entropy-driven and dependent on both the tendency of the hydrophobic group of the surfactants to transfer from aqueous environment to interior of micelle as well as the rearrangement of flexible ester-linked ethylene oxide units (hydrophilic spacer) into aqueous phase. The polar ester functional groups and pairs of nonbonding electrons on oxygen atom of ethylene oxide spacer form hydrogen bonding with water molecules enhancing their solubility in aqueous system.

Micellization and related behavior of binary and ternary surfactant mixtures in aqueous medium: cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and polyoxyethylene (10) cetyl ether (Brij-56) derived system

Mixed micelles formed with cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC), cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and polyoxyethylene (10) cetyl ether (Brij-56) mixed in different combinations in aqueous medium have been studied in detail by tensiometric, conductometric, calorimetric, spectrophotometric, and fluorimetric techniques. Different physicochemical properties such as critical micellar concentration (cmc), micellar dissociation, energetic parameters (free energy, enthalpy, and entropy) of micellization, interfacial adsorption, and micellar aggregation number have been determined. The results have been analyzed in terms of the equations of Clint, Motomura, Rosen, Rubingh, Blankschtein et al., and Rubingh and Holland for justification of the experimental cmc, determination of micellar composition parameters, quantification of interaction among the mixed micelle components, and estimation of their activity coefficients.     

Synthesis and surface properties of semi-fluorinated gemini surfactants with two reactive bromo pendant groups

This paper presents a series of semi-fluorinated gemini surfactants with two bromo pendant groups. It reviews the effect of the number of methylene units in the spacer group between the two hydrophilic quaternary ammonium heads. Critical micelle concentration (cmc) and free energy of micellization (ΔG(M)(0)) of the title surfactants, in aqueous solution, have been investigated as a function of the number n of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon spacer. We have pointed out a different behaviour as compared to Gemini hydrocarbon homologues. In the present study, when the number of methylene units (n) in the spacer increases, the cmc first decreases and reaches an optimum for (n=6), then it increases linearly from n≥6. Variations of cmc have been interpreted in terms of conformation changes of the surfactant ion and progressive penetration of the alkyl chain spacer in the micelle hydrophobic core. In this series, the increase of the hydrophobicity seems not to favour the micellisation process as expected, probably impacted by the mutual phobicity of the perfluorinated tails and the hydrocarbon spacer. A minimum is reached for a spacer with six methylene units which seems to be the optimal conformation. The free energy of micellization (ΔG(M)(0)) confirm this tendency.     

Properties of polyethylene glycol (23) lauryl ether with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in mixed aqueous solutions studied by self-diffusion coefficient NMR

NMR self-diffusion coefficient measurements have been used to study the properties of polyethylene glycol (23) lauryl ether (Brij-35) with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the mixed aqueous solutions with different mole fractions of CTAB. By fitting the self-diffusion coefficients to the two-state exchange model, the critical micelle concentrations of the two solutes in the mixed solutions (cmc*1 and cmc*2) were obtained. The critical mixed micelle concentrations (cmc*) were then evaluated by the sum of cmc*1 and cmc*2, which are in good agreement with the results measured by the surface tension method. The cmc* values are lower than those of the ideal case of mixing, which indicates that the behavior of the CTAB/Brij-35 system is nonideal. Moderate interactions between CTAB and Brij-35 in their mixtures can be deduced from the interaction parameters (betaM) based on the cmc* obtained by the NMR self-diffusion method. The compositions (x1) of the mixed micelles at different total surfactant concentrations were also evaluated. By using these results, a possible mechanism of mixed micellar formation and a picture of the formation of nonsimultaneous CTAB/Brij-35 binary mixed micelle were proposed. In contrast to the case of CTAB/TX-100 system, Brij-35 molecules have a tendency to form micelles first at any mole fraction of CTAB. The mixed micellar self-diffusion coefficients (Dm) increase slightly at lower CTAB molar ratios, and then speed up with increasing CTAB mole fraction.

Thermodynamics of micellization of multiheaded single-chain cationic surfactants

The energetics of micelle formation of three single-chain cationic surfactants bearing single (h = 1), double (h = 2), and triple (h = 3) trimethylammonium [(+)N(CH(3))(3)] headgroups have been investigated by microcalorimetry. The results were compared with the microcalorimetric data obtained from well-known cationic surfactant, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), bearing a single chain and single headgroup. The critical micellar concentrations (cmc's) and the degrees of counterion dissociation (alpha) of micelles of these surfactants were also determined by conductometry. The cmc and the alpha values increased with the increase in the number of headgroups of the surfactant. The relationship between the cmc of the surfactant in solution and its free energy of micellization (DeltaG(m)) was derived for each surfactant. Exothermic enthalpies of micellization (DeltaH(m)) and positive entropies of micellization (DeltaS(m)) were observed for all the surfactants. Negative DeltaH(m) values increased from CTAB to h = 1 to h = 2 and decreased for h = 3 whereas DeltaS(m) values decreased with increase in the number of headgroups. The DeltaG(m) values progressively became less negative with the increase in the number of headgroups. This implies that micelle formation becomes progressively less favorable as more headgroups are incorporated in the surfactant. From the steady-state fluorescence measurements using pyrene as a probe, the micropolarities sensed by the probe inside various micelles were determined. These studies suggest that the micelles are more hydrated with multiheaded surfactants and the micropolarity of micelles increases with the increase in the number of headgroups.     

Interactions between cationic gemini/conventional surfactants with polyvinylpyrrolidone: Specific conductivity and dynamic light scattering studies

The interaction between bis(hexadecyldimethylammonium)hexane dibromide (16-6-16), bis(tetradecyldimethylammonium)hexane dibromide (14-6-14), their conventional counterparts cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was investigated using the conductivity technique. The results show that gemini surfactants interact strongly with PVP as compared to conventional surfactants. The results also reveal that the surfactants with shorter hydrocarbon chain interact weakly as those of longer hydrocarbon chain. The interactions of 16-6-16 and 14-6-14 and their conventional counterparts with PVP were also studied using dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. We have also highlighted the effect of surfactant–polymer interactions on the dispersion force in the solution. Critical aggregation concentration (cac) and critical micelle concentration (cmc) were obtained using the conductivity data. The degrees of micelle ionization and free energies associated with aggregation, micellization, and transfer have also been evaluated and discussed.

Studies on the Effect of Organic Solvents and Temperature on the Micellar Solution of Pentamethylene-1,5-bis(tetradecyldimethylammonium bromide) Gemini Surfactant

Effects of three organic solvents, viz. methyl cellosolve, acetonitrile, and formamide, on the micellization process of Gemini surfactant pentamethylene-1,5-bis(tetradecyldimethylammonium bromide) aqueous solutions, with the volume percentages of the organic solvents up to 50%, have been investigated conductometrically. The studies were made at different temperatures and the data were used to find out different micellization parameters. From the study, it was observed that, although an increment in the amount of the organic solvents delays the micellization, the increase in the critical micelle concentration (cmc) is comparatively less below 20%(v/v) showing the predominance of water character in the bulk phase at lower compositions of the organic solvents. Applying equilibrium model for micelle formation, various thermodynamic parameters were also calculated from the temperature dependence of the cmc values and the results show that the micellization process becomes less spontaneous as the volume % of the organic solvent increases in the system due to the action of water-organic solvent mixed media as better solvent than pure water (solvophobic effect) for the studied Gemini molecules.     

Surface and micellar properties of new nonionic gemini aldonamide-type surfactants

A new group of gemini aldonamide-type surfactants-N,N'-bisalkyl-N,N'-bis[(3-gluconylamide)propyl]ethylenediamines, N,N'-bisdodecyl-N,N'-bis[(3-glucoheptonylamide)propyl]ethylenediamine, and N,N'-bisalkyl-N,N'-bis[(3-lactobionylamide)propyl]ethylenediamines, (alkyl: n-C(8)H(17), n-C(12)H(25)), were synthesized and characterized. The surface properties, such as surface excess concentration, Gamma(cmc), surface area demand per molecule, A(min), efficiency in surface tension reduction, pC(20), the effectiveness of surface tension reduction, gamma(cmc), critical micelle concentration, cmc, and a measure of the tendency of the surfactant to adsorb at the aqueous/air interface relative to its tendency to form micelles in the bulk surfactant solution, cmc/C(20), and standard free energy of micellization, DeltaG(mic)(0), have been obtained by means of surface tension measurements. The standard fluorescence shift technique using PRODAN as a probe provide confirmation of the cmc values by an alternative method. Additionally, the micellar properties for the concentration near above the cmc have been characterized by the aggregation number, N(agg). The presence of the dimeric segments with the aldonamide hydrophilic units in the surfactant molecule is found to be the source of their unusual physicochemical behavior. They are very efficient at adsorbing at the free surface and at forming micelles in water. Their critical micelle concentration values are remarkably low. They reveal remarkably low A(min) values in relation to conventional nonionic surfactants, which is unexpected from the molecular dimensions for the molecule but which is possible if one assumes some type of multilayer structure or a coherent interfacial film.     

Self-assembly and micellization of amphiphilic rod-coil block oligomer at the mica-water interface

In this paper, in situ atomic force microscopy has been used to investigate the micellization and self-assembling structure of an amphiphilic rod-coil block oligomer (EO16OPV) containing a conjugated oligo(phenylene vinylene) dimer and poly(ethylene oxide) at the mica-water interface. It is found that EO16OPV molecules have strong adsorption and aggregation properties on mica. In the wide concentration range from above the critical micelle concentration (cmc) to far below the cmc, a closely packed layer of stripe-like micelles with two preferred orientations can be formed at the mica-water interface. A cylindrical micelle structure for the stripes is proposed. We demonstrate that the stripe-like micelles formed on mica originate from different micellization processes at solution concentrations above and below the cmc. The origins of the strong micellization properties and oriented arrangement of the stripes are also discussed.     

Studies of mixed micelle formation between cationic gemini and cationic conventional surfactants

Mixed micellization of dimeric cationic surfactants tetramethylene-1,4-bis(hexadecyldimethylammonium bromide)(16-4-16), hexamethylene-1,6-bis(hexadecyldimethylammonium bromide) (16-6-16) with monomeric cationic surfactants hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) have been studied by conductivity and steady-state fluorescence quenching techniques. The behavior of mixed systems, their compositions, and activities of the components have been analyzed in the light of Rubingh's regular solution theory. The results indicate synergism in the binary mixtures. Ideal and experimental critical micelle concentrations (i.e., cmc(*) and cmc) show nonideality, which is confirmed by beta values and activity coefficients. The micelle aggregation numbers (N(agg)), evaluated using steady-state fluorescence quenching at a total concentration of 2 mM for CTAB/16-4-16 or 16-6-16 and 5 mM for TTAB/16-4-16 or 16-6-16 systems, indicate that the contribution of conventional surfactants was always more than that of the geminis. The micropolarity, dielectric constant and binding constants (K(sv)) of mixed systems have also been evaluated from the ratios of respective peak intensities (I(1)/I(3) or I(0)/I(1)).     

Flurbiprofen encapsulation using pluronic triblock copolymers

Pulsed-field gradient stimulated-echo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and surface tension measurements have been used to study the effect of drug addition on the micellization behavior of pluronic triblock copolymers (P103, P123, and L43). The addition of 0.6 wt% flurbiprofen to Pluronic P123 and P103 solutions reduced their cmc and promoted micellization. Also, a substantial increase in the hydrodynamic radius of Pluronic P103 from 5 to 10 nm was observed, along with an increased fraction of polymer micellized, demonstrating that the polymers solubilize this nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
