Effect of pressure on the adsorption and micelle formation of aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride solution-hexane system

The interfacial tension of aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) solution/hexane interface has been measured as a function of pressure at concentrations around the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The derivative of the interfacial tension with respect to pressure has been observed to change abruptly at the CMC as in the case of aqueous dodecylammonium chloride (DAC) solution-hexane system studied already. The volume changes associated with the adsorption of DTAC from its monomeric and micellar states have been calculated. The results have indicated that the micelle formation of surfactant is treated like the appearance of a new macroscopic phase in the system. It has also been concluded that the micelle solubilizing hexane bears resemblance to the adsorbed film in terms of the volume. The difference in the pressure dependence of the volume of micelle formation ^MW between DTAC and DAC has been attributed to a larger polar group of DTAC. The fact that the value of ^MW is larger than that estimated from the conductivity data has been explained by the solubilization of hexane into the micelle.     

The aggregation of sodium dehydrocholate in water

 We used a battery of different methods to study the association in aqueous sodium dehydrocholate (NaDHC) solutions. This salt associates by a stepwise mechanism. Below (9.6 ± 4.2) × 10⁻⁴ mol dm⁻³ there is a molecular solution with some strongly insoluble dehydrocholic acid produced by hydrolysis. Between (9.6 ± 4.2) × 10⁻⁴ and (5.2 ± 2.2) × 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³, an aggregate similar to acid soap (NaDHC.HDHC) appears and its amount and the aggregate's size increase with concentration. At =(2.20 ± 0.85) × 10⁻² mol dm⁻³ the aggregates formed have properties usually associated with true micelles, such as solubilisation of water-insoluble dyes. These aggregates increase in size with concentration and change their shape at 8 × 10⁻² mol dm⁻³, giving nonsymmetrical aggregates. The changes in the solution physicochemical properties at these concentrations may be misinterpreted and this explains the different values of the critical micelle concentration reported in the literature for substances with similar structure, such as bile salts.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Cadmium（Ⅱ） Complex [Cd（H2O）（CH3OC6H4COO）2]n

1 INTRODUCTION Cadmium (Ⅱ) complexes have been exten- sively studied from both chemical and structural views, mainly due to the capability of cadmium (Ⅱ) (shared by most d10 metal ions) to adopt different modes of coordination determined by the consideration of size, as well as electrostatic and covalent bonding forces[1]. And the field of coordination polymers has witnessed tremendous growth over the last decade[2]. Many coordination polymeric networks have been shown to posses intere…     

带有可调通道的嵌段共聚物胶束对药物的控制释放

用聚丙烯酸叔丁酯-b-聚乙二醇(PtBA45-b-PEG114)和聚丙烯酸叔丁酯-b-聚4-乙烯基吡啶(PtBA60-b-P4VP80)制备了复合胶束. 该胶束在pH=2.5的酸性水溶液中形成以PtBA为核, PEG和P4VP为壳的稳定球型结构. 在pH=12时, 壳层的P4VP链段变为疏水, 塌缩在PtBA的核上形成内壳, PEG链段继续保持溶解状态, 与成核的PtBA连接并穿过塌陷的P4VP内壳, 形成胶束的冠, 由于PEG处于溶解状态, 其分子链间有比较大的空隙, 可以控制一些小分子通过, 在胶束的表面形成通道. 该通道类似于生物膜的蛋白通道, 可以控制PtBA核与外界进行能量或物质交换的速度. 以布洛芬为模型分子, 负载在胶束内进行药物控制释放研究的结果表明, 胶束表面的通道可以起到明显控制布洛芬释放速度的作用, 并且药物的释放速度与通道在胶束表面的比例成正比.     

Optimization strategies in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

Summary Computer-assisted procedures for the one-parameter optimization of the surfactant concentration and the concentration of urea or D-glucose as modifiers in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography have been developed. These procedures permit a rapid optimization of one parameter on the basis of only two experiments. Predicted values are compared to empirically obtained optimum values. The influence of the modifier concentration on the critical micelle concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate was experimentally determined in buffers commonly employed in micellar electrokinetic chromatography. The alteration of retention factors of solutes caused by the influence of urea addition on the critical micelle concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate was calculated under the assumption of constant distribution coefficients and compared to experimentally obtained values. It was demonstrated that the addition of urea or of D-glucose does not alter the phase ratio substantially.     

Biodegradable and pH-sensitive hydrogels: Synthesis by crosslinking of N,N-dimethylacrylamide copolymer precursors

Novel pH-sensitive hydrogels containing azoaromatic crosslinks were synthesized by the crosslinking of polymeric precursors. First, a reactive polymeric precursor was synthesized by copolymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide, N-tert-butylacrylamide, acrylic acid, and N-methacryloylglycylglycine p-nitrophenyl ester. The hydrogel was prepared in the second step by the reaction of the polymeric precursor with N,N′-(ω-aminocaproyl)-4,4′-diaminoazobenzene. The hydrogels were characterized by the network structure, (that is, content of crosslinks, unreacted pendent groups, and cycles), the equilibrium swelling ratio as a function of pH, modulus of elasticity in compression, and the degradability in vitro. The results obtained indicated that the hydrogel network structure strongly depends on the reaction conditions such as polymer concentration, and the ratio of the reactive groups during the crosslinking reaction. The swelling and mechanical properties of hydrogels can be controlled by the modification of polymer backbone structure and/or the crosslinking density. The rates of hydrogel degradation depended on their degree of swelling. The higher the degree of swelling, the higher the degradability. The properties of the hydrogels suggest that they have a potential as carriers for colon-specific drug delivery. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Flow‐Injection Amperometric Detection with Solvent Polymeric Membrane Ion Sensors

An amperometric detector for hydrophobic ions based on a plasticized poly(vinyl) chloride (PVC) membrane incorporated in a flow‐injection system was developed. A four‐electrode potentiostat with ohmic drop compensation was used, while a flow‐through cell incorporated the four electrodes and the membrane, which contained tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate. When the influence of the applied potential and of the flow‐injection variables on the determination of tetrabutylammonium was studied, a linear relationship was observed between current peak height and ion concentration over a range of 5×10^?6–6×10^?5 M tetrabutylammonium. Good repeatability and between‐day reproducibility and high sample frequency were obtained. The effect of other ions was studied. Two different amperometric methods, indirect and direct, were also developed for the determination of dodecylsulfate in the concentration range 3×10^?5–9×10^?4 M.     

A DSC-Study of Donor/Acceptor Side-Chain Polymers with Flourinated Taper-Shaped Tails

It is shown that insertion in methacrylic polymers of bulky electron donor/acceptor side-groups with taper-shaped flourinated tails promotes a self-organization of the respective side-chain polymers due to the space demands of the bulky D/A side-groups, leading to a columnar hexagonal mesophase. The presence of an Lc-phase is evidenced by DSC and identified by X-ray analysis. The orientation in the respective copolymers and polymer blends is additionally improved by the CT-interaction between the D/A side-groups. An increased packing effect due to this CT-orientation effect is evidenced in DSC by an increase of the respective transition temperatures. CT-interaction is responsible as well for a preferential polymerization of monomeric D/A-complexes leading to copolymers of alternating structures and for a zip-like arrangement along the main chain of the A/D-complexes between the interacting side-groups in polymer blends. Formation of mesophases is even observed in CT-interacting blends between the Lc-D/A side-chain polymethacrylates and the respective amorphous D/A side-chain polysiloxanes.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.
