Influences of the concentration and the molar ratio of mixed surfactants on the performance of vesicle pseudostationary phase

In our previous work, it was found that the vesicles were formed spontaneously by mixing octyltriethylammonium bromide (C₈NE₃Br) with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), and the vesicles have been developed as a pseudostationary phase (PSP) in EKC. In the present work, the effects of the concentration and the molar ratio of cationic to anionic surfactant on the vesicle properties and the performances of vesicle PSP in EKC have been investigated. The aggregates at all mixing ratio were negatively charged regardless of which surfactant surplus. As C₈NE₃Br proportion increased, the microviscosity of the vesicle became larger. With the increase in the total surfactant concentration, the migration time window broadened at the molar ratio of C₈NE₃Br to SDBS of 3:7. Unexpectedly, the window became narrowed at molar ratio of 5:5 and 6:4. However, the methylene selectivity of vesicle PSP at all above‐mentioned molar ratios enhanced as the total surfactant concentration increased, no matter whether the migration time window enlarged or narrowed. It implied that the vesicle PSP at molar ratio of 5:5 and 6:4 made it possible to obtain a better separation in a shorter time. When the total surfactant concentration was fixed at 20 mM, the methylene selectivity of the vesicle PSP of molar ratio of 5:5 was comparable to that of 3:7, but the migration time shortened by a half.     

Binary mixed micelles of chiral sodium undecenyl leucinate and achiral sodium undecenyl sulfate: I. Characterization and application as pseudostationary phases in micellar electrokinetic chromatography

Sodium 10-undecenyl sulfate (SUS), sodium 10-undecenyl leucinate (SUL) and their five different mixed micelles at varied percent mole ratios were prepared. The critical micelle concentration (CMC), C₂₀, γ_CMC, partial specific volume, methylene group selectivity, mobilities and elution window were determined using a variety of analytical techniques. These surfactant systems were then evaluated as novel pseudostationary phases in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). As a commonly used pseudostationary phase in MEKC, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was also evaluated. The CMC values of SUS and SUL were found to be 26 and 16 mM, respectively, whereas the CMC of mixed surfactants was found to be very similar to that of SUL. The C₂₀ values decreased dramatically as the concentration of SUL is increased in the mixed micelle. An increase in SUL content gradually increased the methylene group selectivity making the binary mixed surfactants more hydrophobic. Linear solvation energy relationships (LSERs) and free energy of transfer studies were also applied to predict the selectivity differences between the surfactant systems. The cohesiveness and the hydrogen bond acidic character of the surfactant systems were found to have the most significant influence on selectivity and MEKC retention. The SUS and SDS showed the strongest while SUL showed the weakest hydrogen bond donating capacity. The basicity, interaction with n and π-electrons of the solute and dipolarity/polarizability were the least significant factors in LSER model for the surfactant systems studied. Free energies of transfer of selected functional groups in each surfactant systems were also calculated and found to be in good agreement with the LSER data.

Unlike surfactant–polymer interactions of sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate with water-soluble polymers

Single and mixed micelle formation by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) and their mixtures in pure water and in the presence of water-soluble polymers such as Synperonic 85 (triblock polymer, TBP), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), and carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (CMC) were studied with the help of conductivity, pyrene fluorescence, cyclic voltammetry, and viscosity measurements. Conductivity measurements showed a single aggregation process for pure surfactants and their mixtures both in pure water as well as in the presence of water-soluble polymers. Triple breaks corresponding to two aggregation processes for SDS, SDBS, and their mixture in the presence of TBP were observed from fluorescence measurements. The first one demonstrated the critical aggregation process due to the adsorption of surfactant monomers on TBP macromolecule. The second one was attributed to the participation of surfactant–polymer aggregates formed at the first one, in the micelle formation process. The aggregation number ( N _agg) of single and mixed micelles and diffusion coefficient ( D) of electroactive probe were computed from the fluorescence and cyclic voltammetry measurements, respectively. Both parameters, along with the viscosity results, indicated stronger SDS–polymer interactions in comparison to SDBS–polymer interactions. Mixed surfactant–polymer interactions showed compensating effects of both pure surfactants. The nature of mixed micelles was found to be ideal in all cases, as evaluated by applying the regular solution and Motomura's approximations.     

Cationic gemini surfactants as pseudostationary phases in micellar electrokinetic chromatography. Part I: Effect of head group

Two cationic gemini surfactants with pyrrolidinium or alkyl ammonium head groups with but-2-yne spacers, but with the same length hydrocarbon chain have been characterized with respect to their aggregation behaviors and separation power as pseudostationary phases (PSPs) for micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). They were compared with a commonly used PSP, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). The results suggest that the head groups of the surfactants have some effect on physicochemical properties such as critical micelle concentration (CMC), C₂₀, γ_CMC, partial specific volume, methylene selectivity and mobilities of the surfactants. CMC values of G1, G2 and SDS in pure water were found to be 0.82, 0.71, and 8.08 mM, respectively; they were reduced to 0.21, 0.11, and 3.0 mM when measured in 10 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0. G1 (α_CH2=2.74${\alpha }_{\text{C}{\text{H}}_2}=2.74$) and G2 (α_CH2=2.48${\alpha }_{\text{C}{\text{H}}_2}=2.48$) provided the most and the least hydrophobic environment, respectively. According to their partial specific volumes, geminis were found to have more flexible structures as compared with sodium dodecylsulfate. The effects of the head group structure were also characterized with the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) model, which was able to evaluate the role of solute size, polarity/polarizability, and hydrogen bonding on retention and selectivity. The cohesiveness, hydrogen bond acidic and basic character of the surfactant systems were found to have the most significant influence on selectivity and MEKC retention of the gemini surfactants. It should be noted that with their large positive coefficient a values, G1 and G2 were found to be stronger HB acceptors than anionic and most of the cationic surfactants studied in the literature.     

A Femtosecond Study of Solvation Dynamics and Anisotropy Decay in a Catanionic Vesicle: Excitation‐Wavelength Dependence

The structure and dynamics of a catanionic vesicle are studied by means of femtosecond up‐conversion and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The catanionic vesicle is composed of dodecyl‐trimethyl‐ammonium bromide (DTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The DLS data suggest that 90 % of the vesicles have a diameter of about 400 nm, whereas the diameter of the other 10 % is about 50 nm. The dynamics in the catanionic vesicle are compared with those in pure SDS and DTAB micelles. We also study the dynamics in different regions of the micelle/vesicle by varying the excitation wavelength (λ_ex) from 375 to 435 nm. The catanionic vesicle is found to be more heterogeneous than the SDS or DTAB micelles, and hence, the λ_ex‐dependent variation of the solvation dynamics is more prominent in the first case. The solvation dynamics in the vesicle and the micelles display an ultraslow component (2 and 300 ps, respectively), which arises from the quasibound, confined water inside the micelle, and an ultrafast component (<0.3 ps), which is due to quasifree water at the surface/exposed region. With an increase in λ_ex, the solvation dynamics become faster. This is manifested in a decrease in the total dynamic solvent shift and an increase in the contribution of the ultrafast component (<0.3 ps). At a long λ_ex (435 nm), the surface (exposed region) of a micelle/vesicle is probed, where the solvation dynamics of the water molecules are faster than those in a buried location of the vesicle and the micelles. The time constant of anisotropy decay becomes longer with increasing λ_ex, in both the catanionic vesicle and the ordinary micelles (SDS and DTAB). The slow rotational dynamics (anisotropy decay) in the polar region (at long λ_ex) may be due to the presence of ionic head groups and counter ions.     

Comparison of a polymeric pseudostationary phase in EKC with ODS stationary phase in RP‐HPLC

Poly(stearyl methacrylate‐co‐methacrylic acid) (P(SMA‐co‐MAA)) was induced as pseudostationary phase (PSP) in electrokinetic chromatography (EKC). The n‐octadecyl groups in SMA were the same as that in octadecylsilane (ODS) C18 column. Thus, the present work focused on the comparison of selectivity between polymeric PSP and ODS stationary phase (SP), and the effect of organic modifiers on the selectivity of polymeric PSP and ODS SP. 1‐butanol could directly interacted with PSP as a Class I modifier, and improved both of the methylene selectivity and polar group selectivity. When the analysis times were similar, the polymeric PSP exhibited better methylene selectivity and polar group selectivity. Although the hydrophobic groups were similar, the substituted benzenes elution order was different between polymeric PSP and ODS SP. Linear solvation energy relationships (LSER) model analysis found that polymeric PSP and ODS SP exhibited two same key factors in selectivity: hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding acidity. But polymeric PSP exhibited relatively strong n‐ and π‐electrons interaction to the analytes.     

Small-angle neutron-scattering study and micellar model of the gemini (phenylenedimethylene)bis(n-octylammonium)dibromide surfactant micelles in water

The microstructure of the micelles formed in aqueous solution by gemini surfactants with aromatic spacers, [Br(CH₃)₂N⁺(C _m H_{2 m +1})-(Ph)-(C _m H_{2 m +1})N⁺(CH₃)₂Br, m=8 and Ph = o-, m- or p-phenylenedimethylene] has been examined by small-angle neutron scattering. Aggregation of the gemini surfactants with an o-phenylenedimethylene spacer brings about formation of premicelles and small micelles at concentrations below the second critical micelle concentration, while above this concentration marked micellar growth and variation in shape occurs. It is suggested that the minimum aggregate formed at this critical micelle concentration may be the trimer or tetramer and that this result supports the mechanism of “gemini → submicelle → assembly” for micellar growth.

Characterization of surfactant and phospholipid vesicles for use as pseudostationary phases in electrokinetic chromatography

The physical, electrophoretic and chromatographic properties (mean diameter, electroosmotic flow, electrophoretic mobility, elution range, efficiency, retention, and hydrophobic, shape, and chemical selectivity) of three surfactant vesicles and one phospholipid vesicle were investigated and compared to a conventional micellar pseudostationary phase comprised of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Chemical selectivity (solute-pseudostationary phase interactions) was discussed from the perspective of linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) analysis. Two of the surfactant vesicles were formulated from nonstoichiometric aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged, single-tailed surfactants, either cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium octyl sulfate (SOS) in a 3:7 mole ratio or octyltrimethylammonium bromide (OTAB) and SDS in a 7:3 mole ratio. The remaining surfactant vesicle was comprised solely of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) in 10% v/v methanol, and the phospholipid vesicle consisted of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and phosphatidyl serine (PS) in 8:2 mole ratio. The mean diameters of the vesicles were 76.3 nm (AOT), 86.9 nm (CTAB/SOS), 90.1 nm (OTAB/SDS), and 108 nm (POPC/PS). Whereas the coefficient of electroosmotic flow (10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1)) varied considerably (1.72 (OTAB/SDS), 3.77 (CTAB/SOS), 4.05 (AOT), 5.26 (POPC/PS), 5.31 (SDS)), the electrophoretic mobility was fairly consistent (-3.33 to -3.87 x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1)), except for the OTAB/SDS vesicles (-1.68). This resulted in elution ranges that were slightly to significantly larger than that observed for SDS (3.12): 3.85 (POPC/PS), 8.6 (CTAB/SOS), 10.1 (AOT), 15.2 (OTAB/SDS). Significant differences were also noted in the efficiency (using propiophenone) and hydrophobic selectivity; the plate counts were lower with the OTAB/SDS and POPC/PS vesicles than the other pseudostationary phases (< or = 75,000/m vs. > 105,000/m), and the methylene selectivity was considerably higher with the CTAB/SOS and OTAB/SDS vesicles compared to the others (ca. 3.10 vs. < or = 2.6). In terms of shape selectivity, only the CTAB/SOS vesicles were able to separate all three positional isomers of nitrotoluene with near-baseline resolution. Finally, through LSER analysis, it was determined that the cohesiveness and hydrogen bond acidity of these pseudostationary phases have the greatest effect on solute retention and selectivity.     

The Self-Association and Mixed Micellization of an Anionic Surfactant,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate,and a Cationic Surfactant,Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide: Conductometric,Dye Solubilization,and Surface Tension Studies

In the present study, we investigate the self-association and mixed micellization of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDS, CTAB, and mixed (SDS + CTAB) surfactants was measured by electrical conductivity, dye solubilization, and surface tension measurements. The surface properties (viz., C₂₀ (the surfactant concentration required to reduce the surface tension by 20 mN/m), Π_CMC (the surface pressure at the CMC), Γ_max (maximum surface excess concentration at the air/water interface), and A_min (the minimum area per surfactant molecule at the air/water interface)) of SDS, CTAB, and (SDS + CTAB) micellar/mixed micellar systems were evaluated. The thermodynamic parameters of the micellar (SDS and CTAB), and mixed micellar (SDS + CTAB) systems were evaluated.

Molecular dynamics study of solubilization of cyclohexane,benzene, and phenol into mixed micelles composed of sodium dodecyl sulfate and octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether

Molecular dynamics calculations of a mixed micelle composed of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C₁₂E₈) were performed for six compositions (SDS/C₁₂E₈ = 100/0, 80/20, 60/40, 40/60, 20/80, and 0/100) to investigate the composition dependence of the mixed micelle structure and solubilization of cyclohexane, benzene, and phenol molecules by the micelle. The radial density distribution of the hydrophilic polyoxyethylene (POE) group of C₁₂E₈ as a function of distance from the micelle center is very sharp for micelles with high SDS content because the POE group captures a Na⁺ ion in solution and wraps around it to form a compact crown-ether-like complex. The hydrophobic dodecyl groups of SDS and C₁₂E₈ were separately distributed in the mixed micelle core. ΔG(r) evaluated for each solute showed that despite the structural changes of the micelle the binding strength of the solute molecules to the micelle did not change significantly. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Study on the Interaction between a Novel Ionic Liquid Probe and Anionic Surfactants Using Resonance Light Scattering Spectra and Its Analytical Application

The interaction between anionic surfactants (AS) and 1‐hexadecyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide [C₁₆mim]Br was studied by using resonance light scattering (RLS) technique, UV‐Vis spectrophotometry and fluorometric methods. In Britton Robinson (BR) buffer (pH 6.0), [C₁₆mim]Br reacted with AS to form supermolecular complex which resulted in enhancement in RLS intensity. Their maximum RLS wavelengths were all at 390 nm. Some important interacting experimental variables, such as the solution acidity, [C₁₆mim]Br concentration, salt effect and addition order of the reagents, were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, quantitative determination ranges were 0.001–7 μg·mL^?1 for dodecyl sodium sulfate (SDS), 0.001–6 μg·mL^?1 for sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) and 0.005–7 μg·mL^?1 for sodium lauryl sulfonate (SLS), respectively, while the detection limits were 1.3 ng·mL^?1 for SDS, 1.0 ng·mL^?1 for SDBS and 5.1 ng·mL^?1 for SLS, respectively. Based on the ion‐association reaction, a highly sensitive, simple and rapid method has been established for the determination of AS.     

Reverse Micelle Formation of C12-EOx-C12 · 2Br in n-Heptane

With n-hexanol as the cosurfactant, quaternary ammonium Gemini surfactants C₁₂-EO_x-C₁₂ · 2Br (x = 1, 2, 3) formed the reverse micelles in n-heptane. The critical reverse micelle concentrations (cmc_h) were determined using the absorption spectrum method with iodine as the probe. All values were less than the corresponding critical micelle concentration (cmc_aq) in aqueous solution, where C₁₂-EO_x-C₁₂ · 2Br formed the normal micelles. The cmch increased with increasing x, which was similar to the variation of cmc_aq with x. The saturated amount of water solubilizated by the reverse micelles was enhanced by either increasing x or raising the temperature.     

Separation and selectivity in micellar electrokinetic chromatography using sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles or Tween 20-modified mixed micelles

The separation and selectivity of eight aromatic compounds ranging from hydrophilic to hydrophobic properties in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles or Tween 20-modified mixed micelles were investigated. The effect of different operation conditions such as SDS and Tween 20 modifier surfactant concentration, buffer pH, and applied voltage was studied. The resolution and selectivity of analytes could be markedly affected by changing the SDS micelle concentration or Tween 20 content in the mixed micelles. Applied voltage and pH of running buffers were used mainly to shorten the separation time. Complete separation of eight analytes could be achieved with an appropriate choice of the concentration of SDS micelles or Tween 20-modified mixed micelles. Quicker elution and better precision could be obtained with SDS-Tween 20 mixed micelles than with SDS micelles. The mechanisms that migration order of those analytes was mainly based on their structures and solute-micelle interactions, including hydrophobic, electrostatic, and hydrogen bonding interactions, were discussed.     

胶束及反胶束微环境中的槲皮素金属配合物

Effect of self‐assemblies of various surfactants in their single and mixed states on the BZ oscillatory reaction

Micelles of different surfactants are well known to affect chemical equilibria and reactivities by selectively sequestering the reagent substrates through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. In this article, the effects of micelles of various surfactants on different parameters of the Ce(IV)‐catalyzed Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) oscillatory reaction at 35°C in nonstirred closed conditions are studied by employing spectrophotometry and tensiometry. Surfactants used in this study are the cationics hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and pentamethylene‐1,5‐bis(N‐hexadecyl‐N,N‐dimethylammonium)bromide gemini (Gemini), anionic sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), and nonionic Brij58, whereas the binary surfactant systems used are cationic–nonionic CTAB+Brij58 and anionic–nonionic SDBS+Brij58. The results revealed that the induction period shows a definite variation with increasing concentration of different surfactants above their critical micelle concentration (cmc). The amplitudes of oscillation and absorbance maxima and minima are enhanced in the presence of micelles of CTAB and Gemini surfactants, whereas micelles of SDBS and Brij58 have almost no effect on the nature of the oscillations. However, mixed micelles of CTAB+Brij58 and SDBS+Brij58 binary mixtures show a quite different effect on the overall behavior of the oscillations. The enhanced effect of CTAB and Gemini surfactants on the overall nature of oscillations has been attributed to the positive charge on the surface of their micelles and to some extent on the presence of nitrogen in their head group. The effect of mixed binary micelles may be attributed to their synergistic nature. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 42: 659–668, 2010     

Micelle and Solvent Relaxation in Aqueous Sodium Dodecylsulfate Solutions

Dielectric spectra have been measured for aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) solutions up to 0.1 mol L^?1 at 25 °C over the frequency range 0.005≤ν GHz^?1≤89. The spectra exhibit two relaxation processes at approximately 0.03 GHz and 0.2 GHz associated with the presence of micelles in addition to the dominant solvent relaxation process at approximately 18 GHz and a small contribution at approximately 1.8 GHz due to H₂O molecules hydrating the micelles. Detailed analysis reveals that the micelles bind 20 water molecules per SDS unit, but not as strongly as trimethylalkylammonium halide surfactants do. The relaxation times and amplitudes of both micelle relaxation processes can be simultaneously analysed with the theory of Grosse, yielding the effective volume of a SDS unit in the micelle and the lateral diffusion coefficient of the bound counterions. The findings of this investigation fully corroborate recent molecular dynamics simulations on structure and dynamics of SDS micelles.     

Hexaconazole-Micelle Nanodelivery System Prepared Using Different Surfactants for Ganoderma Antifungal Application

Reports on fungicide-based agronanochemicals in combating disastrous basal stem rot disease in the oil palm industry are scant. Herein, we describe the potential of fungicide nanodelivery agents based on hexaconazole-micelle systems produced using three different surfactants; sodium dodecylbenze sulfonate (SDBS), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Tween 80 (T80). The resulting nanodelivery systems were characterized and the results supported the encapsulation of the fungicide into the micelles of the surfactants. We have investigated in detail the size-dependent effects of the as-synthesized micelles towards the inhibition growth of Ganoderma Boninense fungi. All the nanodelivery systems indicate that their size decreased as the surfactant concentration was increased, and it directly affects the fungal inhibition. It was also found that Tween 80, a non-ionic surfactant gave the lowest effective concentration, the EC₅₀ value of 2, on the pathogenic fungus Ganoderma boninense compared to the other anionic surfactants; SDBS and SDS. This study opens up a new generation of agronanofungicide of better efficacy for Ganoderma disease treatment.     

Spectroscopic analysis of naphtholazobenzimidazole in organised solution

Micelle–water partition coefficient (K_x ) of naphtholazobenzimidazole dye (NAB) in aqueous solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) has been determined spectrophotometerically. Changes in absorption patterns of dye caused by surfactants and solvents were quantified in terms of dye–surfactant ratio (n _D/n _S) and solvent water partition coefficients (P), respectively. Multiple residence sites have been suggested for dye molecules within micelles, based on shifts in azo-hydrazone tautomeric equilibrium. Micelle–water partition coefficients were used to evaluate the influence of dye on critical micelle concentration of CTAB and SDS. At same micelle concentration, M, the relative solubility of NAB was greater in cationic surfactant CTAB than in anionic surfactant SDS.     

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.
