离心系数表征丙烯酰胺反相乳液的稳定性

用丙烯酰胺反相乳液经离心处理后保留的乳液体积与原乳液体积之比（离心系数Vr）考察了丙烯酰胺及其衍生物反相乳液的稳定性。 结果表明,离心系数Vr越大,其乳液的稳定性越好。 在高速离心条件下,由Span80/Span85和Tween80构成的丙烯酰胺及其衍生物反相乳液的Vr与油相质量分数存在正相关的关系。 在油相质量分数确定的情况下,离心系数Vr不仅与3种表面活性剂构成的亲水亲油平衡值（HLB）有关,而且与丙烯酰胺及其衍生物的浓度和类型有关。 HLB值在4.20左右时,乳液是稳定的;随丙烯酸氧乙基三甲基氯化铵（DAC）在水相中质量分数的提高,反相乳液稳定性增强,w(DAC)＞24%时可得到稳定乳液。 在15000 r/min离心3 min,Vr=0.95以上的丙烯酰胺及其衍生物反相乳液很稳定,静置半年仍未出现分层现象。

Acrylamide as cosurfactant and hydrotrope in the pseudoternary Span 80-Tween 85/isopar M/water emulsion/microemulsion forming system

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acrylamide on emulsification of the pseudoternary Span 80-Tween 85/isopar M/water system at 40 °C. It was revealed that acrylamide could act as a surface-active agent to decrease the isopar M/water interfacial tension, and as a hydrotrope to increase the aqueous solubility of Tween 85, and further remarkably influence the emulsification of the investigated pseudoternary Span 80-Tween 85/isopar M/water system. The surface-active role of acrylamide could reduce the minimal weight fraction of the mixture of Span 80 and Tween 85 in pseudoternary systems (X_ST) to form stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions when the weight fraction of acrylamide in the aqueous domain (X_AM) is below 0.1; while its hydrotropic role at high X_AM levels (>0.1) could drive more Tween 85 molecules to transfer into aqueous phase and slightly improved the minimal X_ST to form stable W/O emulsions, as compared to that of X_AM at 0.1. Moreover, under a given X_ST, the mean diameter of the droplet size distribution of the W/O emulsion remarkably decreased with the increase in X_AM; while the smaller droplets in the W/O emulsion systems at higher level of X_AM still coalesced rapidly when the compositions of the emulsion was slightly above the visually determined boundary between non-emulsion and stable emulsion regions.     

Propensity for the air/water interface and ion pairing in magnesium acetate vs magnesium nitrate solutions: molecular dynamics simulations and surface tension measurements

Molecular dynamics simulations in slab geometry and surface tension measurements were performed for aqueous solutions of magnesium acetate and magnesium nitrate at various concentrations. The simulations reveal a strong affinity of acetate anions for the surface, while nitrate exhibits only a very weak surface propensity, and magnesium is per se strongly repelled from the air/water interface. CH3COO- also exhibits a much stronger tendency than NO3- for ion pairing with Mg2+ in the bulk and particularly in the interfacial layer. The different interfacial behavior of the two anions is reflected by the opposite concentration dependence (beyond 0.5 M) of surface tension of the corresponding magnesium salts. Measurements, supported by simulations, show that the surface tension of Mg(NO3)2(aq) increases with concentration as for other inorganic salts. However, in the case of Mg(OAc)2(aq) the surface tension isotherm exhibits a turnover around 0.5 M, after which it starts to decrease, indicating a positive net solute excess in the interfacial layer at higher concentrations.     

Mass transfer model of triethylamine across the n-decane/water interface derived from dynamic interfacial tension experiments

This publication presents a detailed experimental and theoretical study of mass transfer of triethylamine (TEA) across the n-decane/water interface. In preliminary investigations, the partition of TEA between n-decane and water is determined. Based on the experimental finding that the dissociation of TEA takes place in the aqueous and in the organic phase, we assume that the interfacial mass transfer is mainly affected by adsorption and desorption of ionized TEA molecules at the liquid/liquid interface. Due to the amphiphilic structure of the dissociated TEA molecules, a dynamic interfacial tension measurement technique can be used to experimentally determine the interfacial mass transport. A model-based approach, which accounts for diffusive mass transport in the finite liquid bulk phases and for adsorption and desorption of ionized TEA molecules at the interface, is employed to analyze the experimental data. In the equilibrium state, the interfacial tension of dissociated TEA at the n-decane/water interface can be adequately described by the Langmuir isotherm. The comparison between the theoretical and the experimental dynamic interfacial tension data reveals that an additional activation energy barrier for adsorption and desorption at the interface has to be regarded to accurately describe the mass transport of TEA from the n-decane phase into the aqueous phase. Corresponding adsorption rate constants can be obtained by fitting the theoretical predictions to the experimental data. Interfacial tension measurements of mass transfer from the aqueous into the organic phase are characterized by interfacial instabilities caused by Marangoni convection, which result in an enhancement of the transfer rate across the interface.     

The array and interfacial activity of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate and sodium oleate at the oil/water interface

There is a close correlation between the interfacial activity and the adsorption of the surfactant at the interface, but the detailed molecular standard information was scarce. The interfacial activity of two traditional anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) and sodium oleate (OAS) were studied by experimental and computer simulation methods. With the spinning drop method and the suspension drop method, the interfacial tension of oil/aqueous surfactant systems was measured, and the influence of surfactant concentration and salinity on the interfacial tension was investigated. The dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method was used to simulate the adsorption of SDBS and OAS at the oil/water interface. It was shown that it is beneficial to decrease interfacial tension if the hydrophobic chains of the surfactant and the oil have similar structure. The accession of inorganic salts causes surfactant molecules to form more compact and ordered arrangements and helps to decrease the interfacial tension. There is an osculation relation between interfacial density and interfacial activity. The interfacial density calculated by molecular simulation is an effective parameter to exhibit the interfacial activity.     

Viscosity of the aqueous liquid/vapor interfacial region: 2D electrochemical measurements with a piperidine nitroxy radical probe

Surface partitioning of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidynyloxy radical (Tempo) to the air/water interface follows a Langmuir isotherm. The partition constant was obtained by the surface tension measurements in the concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-4)-2.4 x 10(-3) M yielding K = 640 +/- 99 M(-1). The lateral mobility of Tempo at the air/water interface was measured electrochemically in the surface concentration range of 2.0 x 10(-11)-1.4 x 10(-10) mol/cm2, corresponding to ca. 7.3-50% full monolayer coverage. The measurements employed cyclic voltammetry with line microelectrodes touching the air/water interface. The Tempo lateral diffusion constant of (1.5 +/- 0.7) x 10(-4) cm2/s is independent of surface concentration below 4.0 x 10(-11) mol/cm2. The extent of Tempo water interactions was assessed by the electronic structure calculations. These calculations showed that, at most, two water molecules can hydrogen bond with the oxygen atom of the nitroxyl group of Tempo, and that a single water molecule forms a hydrogen bond that is ca. 30% stronger than the H2O-H2O hydrogen bond. These calculations led to a postulate that Tempo diffuses along the interface largely unimmersed, and that it is coupled to the interfacial water via hydrogen bonding with H2O. In view of this postulate, the viscosity of the aqueous liquid/vapor interfacial region obtained by interpreting the Tempo diffusion constant in the low concentration region is as much as 4 times smaller than that of bulk liquid water.     

The influence of pH on phosphatidylcholine monolayer at the air/aqueous solution interface

The measurements of the interfacial tension at the air/aqueous subphase interface as the function of pH were performed. The interfacial tension of the air–aqueous subphase interface was divided into contributions of individuals. A simple model of the influence of pH on the phosphatidylcholine monolayer at the air/hydrophobic chains of phosphatidylcholine is presented. The contributions of additive phosphatidylcholine forms (both interfacial tension values and molecular area values) depend on pH. The interfacial tension values and the molecular areas values for LH⁺, LOH⁻ forms of phosphatidylcholine were calculated. The assumed model was verified experimentally.     

Adsorption behavior of phospholipid vesicles at oil/water interfaces

By measuring the change in interfacial tension after adding phospholipid vesicles to an aqueous solution of electrolyte, we studied the adsorption behavior of phospholipid vesicles at oil/water interfaces. The effects of concentration of three kinds of electrolyte (NaCl, MgCl₂, LaCl₃) and of the mixing ratio of two kinds of phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine), on the adsorption behavior at an oil/water interface were examined. The results were interpreted using the DLVO theory.     

Effect of charged colloidal particles on adsorption of surfactants at oil-water interface

A change of oil/water interfacial tension in the presence of cationic or anionic surfactants in an organic phase was observed due to the addition of charged fine solids in the aqueous phase. The charged fine solids in the aqueous phase adsorb surfactants diffused from the oil phase, thereby causing an increase in the bulk equilibrium surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase, governed by the Stern-Grahame equation. Consequently, surfactant adsorption at the oil-water interface increases, which was demonstrated from the measured reduction of the oil-water interfacial tension. The increased surfactant partition in the aqueous phase in the presence of the charged particles was confirmed by the measured decrease in the surface tension for the collected aqueous solution after solids removal, as compared with the cases without solids addition.     

Interfacial and self-assembly properties of bolaamphiphilic compounds derived from a multifunctional oil

The self-assembly characteristics in aqueous solutions of cationic bolaamphiphiles with systematic changes in their chemical structure is described with respect to their interfacial properties within water and at the air/water interface. Six cationic bolaamphiphiles were synthesized from multifunctional vernonia oil with the following variations: (a) two different alkyl chain lengths connecting the head groups, (b) polar ester or hydrogen bonding amide groups within the hydrophobic domain, and (c) an acetylcholine cationic head group with different conjugation sites to the alkyl chain. Surface tension measurements were used for determining critical aggregation concentration (CAC) values and air/water interfacial parameters such as 'effectiveness', surface excess concentration and area occupied by one molecule in the air/water interface. Fluorescent studies with pyrene were used to characterize CAC properties within the aqueous volume and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for determining the aggregate structure's size, homogeneity and morphology. A bolaamphiphile molecular structure vs. interfacial property relationship was derived from this data which could be used to determine the molecular structure properties needed to generate interfacial forces to form either spherical vesicles or fibrous networks. The effects of the aliphatic chain length, head group orientation and functional groups within the hydrophobic domain on CAC, surface tension properties and self-aggregate morphology are described. Most bolaamphiphiles studied had CAC values in the 10-190 μM range, while two out of the six were found to assemble into MLM spherical vesicles with diameters ranging up to 120 nm suitable for drug delivery applications. Others formed a gelatinous network of fibers or multi-lamellar vesicles.     

Dynamic interfacial tension at the oil/surfactant-water interface

We have used dynamic interfacial tension measurements to understand the structure of the ordered monolayer at the hexadecane/water interface induced by the presence of surfactant molecules. No abrupt changes in the interfacial tension (gamma) are observed during the expansion and contraction cycle below the interfacial ordering temperature (Ti) as observed for alkanes in contact with air. The lack of an abrupt change in gamma and the magnitude of this change during the expansion process indicate that the ordered phase may not be crystalline. The change in the interfacial tension is due to an increase in contact between water and hexadecane molecules and the disordering of the interfacial ordered layer. At low surfactant concentrations, the recovery of the interfacial tension is slower below Ti, suggesting that there is a critical surfactant concentration necessary to nucleate an ordered phase at the interface.
