Fluorescence Quenching of Anthracene by N,N-Diethylaniline in the Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate/Benzyl Alcohol/Water System

Photoinduced electron-transfer reaction of anthracene with N,N-diethylaniline (DEA) was studied in the SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate)/BA (benzyl alcohol)/H₂O system. In an oil/water microemulsion, only the excited anthracene located at the interface can be quenched by DEA. In a water/oil microemulsion, this quenching reaction occurs in the BA continuous phase. Besides being the quencher of the excited anthracene, DEA could also change the system's structure.     

Fluorescence Quenching of Anthracene by N,N-Diethylaniline and Phenothiazine in Triton X-100/n-C10H21OH/H2O Microemulsion

Microenvironment Effect on the Location Distribution of Phenothiazine in Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide/<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Pentanol/H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O W/O and Bi-continuous Microemulsions

In cetyltrimethylammonium/n-pentanol/H₂O W/O (W/O = water in oil microemulsion) mixtures and bi-continuous microemulsions, phenothiazine (PTZ) molecules exist in the membrane phase of the dispersion either with the N atom or with the S atom pointed toward the polar head of cetyltrimethylammonium (CTAB). Cyclic voltammetry has been used to investigate the effects of the compositions and structures of the microemulsions, pH, and the salt on the location distribution of PTZ in the membrane phase of the dispersion in CTAB/n-C₅H₁₁OH/H₂O W/O and bi-continuous microemulsions. The results show that the location distribution of PTZ in the membrane phase of the dispersion in microemulsions is mainly dependent on the hydrogen bond between PTZ and n-C₅H₁₁OH (or the counterion), and on the electrostatic attractive interaction between the N atom in PTZ and the polar head of CTAB.     

Hydrotrope and hydrotrope-solubilization action of penicillin-K in CTAB/n-C5H11OH/H2O system

Penicillin potassium salt (penicillin-K) is found to show hydrotrope action, which can increase the solubility of cationic surfactant CTAB in water. Penicillin-K also shows hydrotrope-solubilization action, which makes the W/O and O/W microemulsion more stable and increases the solubilized amount of n-C₅H₁₁OH in O/W microemulsion and that of water in W/O microemulsion for CTAB/n-C₅H₁₁OH/H₂O system. However, in this system, the presence of penicillin-K can decrease the stability of the lamellar liquid crystal phase due to its structure change to bicontinuous, which are proved by the mechanism of its hydrotrope-solubilization action.

Spectroscopy characterization of anthracene in SDS/BA/H2O system

Spectroscopy characterization of anthracene in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/benzyl alcohol (BA)/water (H(2)O) microemulsion was studied by UV-visible absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The impact of the composition and structure of the microemulsion on spectroscopy characterization of anthracene were discussed. At the same time, we indicated the location of anthracene in microemulsion. The results indicated that in O/W microemulsion in SDS/BA/H(2)O system, anthracene exists both in the membrane phase and oil core, while in W/O microemulsion, anthracene exists in the oil continuous phase.     

Location of phenothiazine in sodium dodecyl sulfate/n-pentanol/water microemulsions

The location of phenothiazine (PTZ) in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/n-pentanol (n-C5H11OH)/water microemulsions is studied by cyclic voltammetry at a Pt electrode. The results indicate that PTZ exists in the membrane phase of microemulsion droplets with its N atom or S atom toward the polar head of the surfactant. In addition, we examine the effect of the compositions and structures of the microemulsions, pH, temperature, and the inorganic salts on the location distribution for PTZ in the membrane phase of the microemulsions. The results show that the location distribution for PTZ in the membrane phase of the microemulsions is mainly dependent on the hydrogen bond between the -NH in PTZ and n-pentanol (or the -SO4- of SDS) and on the electrostatic interaction between the S atom (or N atom) in PTZ and the polar head of SDS.     

Light scattering and SAXS of spherical to cylindrical transition of AOT/H2O/cyclohexane/PI

The mixture of polyisoprene with sodium-2-diethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT)/H₂O/cyclohexane microemulsion is studied with the photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and small angel X-ray scattering (SAXS). The water with AOT induces nano-droplets inside the cyclohexane and addition of concentration and length scale of polyisoprene (PI) can change diffusion of nano-droplets. The collective diffusion coefficient (D_c) of nano-droplets decreased with increase in concentration of PI. From SAXS experiment, a spherical–cylindrical transition of nano-droplets by increase in polyisoprene concentrations observed that it can describe behaviour of diffusion.     

SDS/n－C5H11OH/n－C7H16/H2O体系中W/O－BI微乳液界面电性质

In the system of SDS/n-C5H11OH/n-C7H16/H2O with the weight ratio of SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O system at5.0/47.5/47.5, the upper phase of the system was W/O microemulsion, and the lower phase was the bicontinuous microemulsion. When the n-heptane content was less than 1%, with the increase of the n-heptane content, the capacitance (Co, Cod) in the upper phase (W/O) dropped, the capacitance (CB1, CBld) in the lower phase (BI) raised. At the same time, the W/O-BI inteffacial potential (ΔE), capacitance (Ci), and charge-transfer current (ict) decreased.After the n-heptane content reached 1%, with the increase of the n-heptane content, ΔE, Ci and ict demonstrated no significant change.     

DEA与SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O微乳液的相互作用

以循环伏安法研究了N,N-二乙基苯胺（DEA）与十二烷基硫酸钠（SDS）/正戊醇（n-C5H11OH）/H2O体系O/W和W/O结构微乳液的相互作用.结果表明,DEA在SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O体系微乳液中有两种定位方式:其一,DEA分子在微乳液液滴膜相中定位于表面活性剂和助表面活性剂的极性基团附近;其二,DEA分子在微乳液液滴膜相中定位于表面活性剂疏水基团一侧.两种定位的分布与微乳液的结构和组成相关.     

青霉素G钾盐对SDS水溶液物理化学性质的影响及其在SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O体系中的释放

The effects of penicillin potassium salt （PenK） on the solubility, Krafft temperature TK, critical micelle concentration CMC of SDS micelle and the phase behavior of SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O system were studied. The partial phase diagrams of SDS/PenK/H2O system at different temperatures were determined. The release amounts of PenK in SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O system and the distribution coefficient of PenK between micelle and water were measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results show that in the presence of PenK, the CMC of SDS was decreased while the TK of SDS was increased and the solubility of SDS in both water and SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O oil in water （O/W） microemulsion was decreased, but increased in water in oil （W/O） microemulsion. SDS micelles and SDS/n- C5H11OH/H20 O/W microemulsion could accelerate the release rate of PenK. The addition of SDS and water could both increase the release rate of PenK, whereas the presence of n-C5H11OH reduced the release rate of PenK. The above results were related to the electrostatic repulsion between PenK and SDS.     

Distribution and Transfer of Gatifloxacin Between Two Microemulsion Phases with Different Structures in SDS/n-C5H11 OH/H2O System

At a weight ratio of n‐C₅H₁₁OH/H₂O=50/50, when the total content of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was less than 6.0%, the ternary mixture of SDS/n‐C₅H₁₁OH/H₂O coexisted in two immiscible microemulsions. The distribution and transfer of gatifloxacin (GTFX) between the two phases were studied using UV‐Vis and electrochemistry AC impedance spectra. The results show that GTFX transferred from the upper phase (W/O) to the lower phase (O/W or bicontinuous microemulsion), but a small amount of SDS transferred from the lower phase to the upper phase correspondingly with the increase of the total SDS content at a total GTFX concentration of 1.0×10^?5 mol/L. The addition of GTFX did not change the structures of the two different phases fundamentally, but resulted in the transfer and redistribution of GTFX and SDS, so the electric properties of the system were changed correspondingly.     

Determination of the electrochemical diffusion coefficient of methylene blue in SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O system by non-probe microelectrode voltammetry

The diffusion coefficient of methylene blue (MB) is determined by the method of non-probe microelectrode voltammetry in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/n-C₅H₁₁OH/H₂O lyotropic liquid crystal system. The results obtained show that the diffusion coefficient of MB increases with water and n-pentanol contents in the microemulsions and the lyotropic liquid crystal but decreases with SDS content. The diffusion coefficient of SDS droplet in the microemulsions and the diffusion coefficient of SDS molecule in the lyotropic liquid crystal with MB all are less than those without MB. The magnitude order of the diffusion coefficient of MB is as follows: the coefficient in the oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion is greater than the coefficient in the water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion which is greater than the coefficient in the lamellar liquid crystal (LLC), which is also greater than the coefficient in the Hex.     

Novel Synthesis of CeO2 Nanoparticles Within Formamide/Tri(ethyleneglycol)monododecyl Ether/n-Octane Nonaqueous Microemulsion Systems

The present study evaluates a new method to prepare Cerium oxide (CeO₂) nanoparticles by formamide/tri(ethyleneglycol)monododecyl ether (C₁₂E₃)/n-octane oil-continuous nonaqueous microemulsion. The effect of the polar phase (formamide/water) on the phase behavior, drop size, and conductivity behavior of the reverse microemulsion were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the phase and morphology of synthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles. It was found that the CeO₂ powders synthesized within nonaqueous microemulsions and aqueous microemulisons had an average particle size of 30–50 nm and 15–40 nm, respectively. The experimental results indicate the formation mechanism of CeO₂ nanoparticles in formamide nonaqueous microemulsion and aqueous microemulsion is similar, and the formamide nonaqueous microemulsion can be used as nanoreactors for preparation of nanoparticles.     

Hydrolysis of Cephanone in SDS／n－C5H11OH／H2O System

The hydrolysis of cephanone in SDS micelle and SDS/n-C5H11-OH/H2O O/W microemulsion was studied through Uv-vis ab-sorption spectroscopy. The change of pH value in the hydrolysis of cephanone was determined. The result shows that pH value decreases in the process of the hydrolysis, and that the SDS ml-celle and SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O O/W microemulsion accelerate the hydrolysis of cephanone compared with water.     

Effect of Solubilization-Hydrotrope Action on Corrosion Behavior of Nickel in CTAB/n-C5Hl1OH/Vc/H2O Micelle System

The effect of solubilization-hydrotrope action of vitamin C (Vc) on the corrosion behavior of nickel is studied by electrochemical and SEM methods in a CTAB/n-C₅H_l1OH/Vc/H₂O micelle system. With the increase of Vc content, the solubilization-hydrotrope action and the corrosion rates of nickel increase. But the pure resistance of the system and the differential capacitance on nickel surface decrease. The effect in the CTAB/n-C₅H_l1OH/HCl/H₂O system is less than that in the CTAB/n-C₅H_l1OH/H₂O system.      

Phase formation and transition in a xanthan gum/H2O/H3PO4 tertiary system

Phase formation and transition in a xanthan gum (XG)/H₂O/H₃PO₄ tertiary system were characterized by polarized optical microscopy, light transmission detection and rheological methods. Three distinct phases and a transition region—the completely separated (S) phase, the liquid crystalline (LC) miscible phase, the isotropically (I) miscible phase and the S plus LC region—were identified. The presence of H₃PO₄ in the XG/H₂O system inhibited the evolution of both the S and LC phases. The S and LC phases contained less than 73 and 62 wt% of H₃PO₄, respectively. As the temperature increased over 65 °C, the LC phase in the H₃PO₄-rich and H₂O-poor region seriously shrunk owing to the breakup of hydrogen bonds among the XG helical structure. At the same XG loading, the viscosity of the XG solutions in LC phase was found to be much higher than that in I phase. It indicated the existence of numerous XG intermolecular interactions in the LC phase that suppress the movement of liquid. A study of the kinetics demonstrated that the shrinkage relaxation time (τ) depended strongly on temperature and was fitted by the Volgel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) expression. The potential energy barrier of this liquid was quite low at approximately 3.0 kJ mol^?1, falling in the range of hydrogen-bond disassociation. The light absorbance test in heating mode revealed a biphasic transitional region between the LC phase and I phase. The contour of this region depended on the heating rate, and this fact was explained again by the relaxation behavior of XG helices at temperatures higher than 65 °C.     

Hydrotrope‐Solubilization Action of Urea in CTAB/n‐C5H11‐OH/H2O System

Urea can enhance the aqueous solubility of surfactant CTAB (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) when it shows the hydrotrope action. It will show the hydrotrope‐solubilization action when the solubilized amount of n‐C₅H₁₁OH in O/W microemulsion and that of water in W/O microemulsion are increased. The mechanism of the hydrotrope‐solubilization action of urea is the increase of the stability of W/O and O/W microemulsion and structural transition from the lamellar liquid crystalline phase to the bicontinuous structure.
