Application of dodecyldimethyl (2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl) ammonium in wall modification for capillary electrophoresis separation of proteins

A zwitterionic surfactant, dodecyldimethyl (2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl) ammonium (C12H25N+(CH3)2CH2CHOHCH2SO3-), named dodecyl sulfobetaine (DSB), was used as a novel modifier to coat dynamically capillary walls for capillary electrophoresis separation of basic proteins. The DSB coating suppressed the electroosmotic flow (EOF) in the pH range of 3-12. At high DSB concentration, the EOF was suppressed by more than 8.8 times. The DSB coating also prevented successfully the adsorption of cationic proteins on the capillary wall. Anions, such as Cl-, Br-, I-, SO4(2-), CO3(2-), and ClO4-, could be used as running buffer modifiers to adjust the EOF for better separation of analytes. Using this dynamically coated capillary, a mixture of eight inorganic anions achieved complete separation within 4.2 min with the efficiencies from 24,000 to 1,310,000 plates/m. In the presence of ClO4- as EOF adjustor, the separation of a mixture containing four basic proteins (lysozyme, cytochrome c, alpha-chymotrypsinogen A, and myoglobin) yielded efficiencies of 204,000-896,000 plates/m and recoveries of 88%-98%. Migration time reproducibility of these proteins was less than 0.5% relative standard deviation (RSD) from run to run and less than 3.1% RSD from day to day, showing promising application of this novel modifier in protein separation.     

Coloring–decoloring behavior of fluoroalkyl end‐capped 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropanesulfonic acid oligomer/acetone composite in methanol

A reddish‐brown fluoroalkyl end‐capped 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) oligomer/acetone composite was prepared by heating the white oligomer powder with acetone at 80 °C for 3 h. The color was not observed in the corresponding non‐fluorinated AMPS oligomer/acetone composite, which was prepared under similar conditions. The coloring was probably caused by the formation of acetone polyaldol condensation products in the fluorinated oligomeric gel network cores. The colored R_F‐(AMPS)_n‐R_F/acetone composite powders were stable and did not exhibit any color change after 2 years in natural light at room temperature. The colored composite powders dissolved in methanol to give a reddish‐brown solution at room temperature. However, the retro‐polyaldol condensation decolored the solution after 1 day at room temperature. This is the first example of the retro‐aldol polycondensation of acetone under mild conditions. The decoloration increased by between 38‐ and 70‐fold under UV irradiation, compared with that in dark conditions. The coloring–decoloring behavior was consistent and repeatable; therefore our fluorinated oligomer/acetone composites are promising candidates for new fluorinated coloring materials. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tuning the energy gap of conjugated polymer zwitterions for efficient interlayers and solar cells

Narrow band gap conjugated polymer zwitterions (CPZs) were synthesized by Suzuki polymerization and characterized to understand their electronic properties and utility as cathode modification layers in solar cells. The polymers were prepared from diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and iso-indigo monomers containing sulfobetaine (SB) pendant groups, benefiting from an ion-rich aqueous phase in the polymerizations. UV–vis absorption spectroscopy revealed the optical energy gap value for the CPZs, ranging from 1.7 to 1.2 eV. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy of the CPZs as thin layers on Ag metal showed that the pendent zwitterions impart an interfacial dipole (Δ) to the metal and a work function reduction of ∼0.9 eV. OPVs fabricated using a conventional bulk heterojunction (BHJ) device architecture of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/(PTB7:PC₇₁BM)/CPZ/Ag led to dramatic improvements in power conversion efficiency (PCE) values relative to devices having bare Ag cathodes (PCE < 2% for bare Ag vs. 6.7–7.7% for CPZ/Ag). The benzothiadiazole (BT)/DPP polymer denoted as PT₂BTDPPSB gave an optimal PCE of 7.7% in a conventional BHJ OPV device architecture fabricated on a Ag cathode. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Synthesis and performance of a series of dual hydroxyl sulfobetaine surfactants

Five kinds of dual hydroxyl sulfobetaines with different carbon atom numbers in hydrophobic chain were synthesized by using linear saturated alcohol, epichlorohydrin and dimethylamine, and then their structures were characterized by FTIR and ¹H NMR. The stability of all synthesized betaine surfactants in hard water was at level 4, which indicated they had high tolerance on hard water. Their CMC and γ_cmc were lower than the conventional cationic surfactant dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl, so they had more excellent surface activities. With the chain length increasing from C₈ to C₁₄, the surface activities, emulsifying properties and foaming properties of these betaine surfactants improved because surfactant molecules tightly arranged in the oil-water interface, but there was abnormal phenomenon of surface activity and foam property from C₁₄ to C₁₆ due to overlong hydrophobic chain. According to the results of the experiment, C₁₄SB was the most practical in the five kinds of surfactants, which was potential candidate to enhance oil recovery in oil field. The performances of C₁₄SB were as follows: CMC?=?2.2?×?10^?4?mol/L, γ_cmc?=?30.9 mN/m and the time of bleeding 10?mL water t?=?375?s at 2?g/L the optimum emulsification concentration.

Molecular Size and Morphology of Single Chains of Poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)

The effects of the concentration of sodium chloride in an aqueous solution(c_NaCl) and the temperature on the molecular size of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)(PSBMA) were studied via viscometry and dynamic light scattering(DLS). The morphology of single-chain PSBMA was determined by atomic force microscopy(AFM). The results demonstrate that the hydrodynamic diameter of PSBMA can be expressed as a continuous function of c_NaCl, with the molecular size of PSBMA increasing and eventually approaching an asymptotic value with increasing c_NaCl. The molecular size of PSBMA at a lower c_NaCl(0.04 mol/L) increases with increasing temperature, which is the opposite of the temperature effect at a higher c_NaCl(2.0 mol/L). Therefore, the internal structure of PSBMA chains in solutions with a low salt concentration differs from that in solutions with a high salt concentration. In addition, the morphology of single chains of PSBMA appears to be spherical, containing 89% void space, and the apparent size of the dried chains is almost identical to that in solution.     

Synthesis of a new sulfobetaine surfactant with double long alkyl chains and its performances in surfactant-polymer flooding

A new zwitterionic surfactant with double long alkyl chains, 3-((3-((1,3-bis (decyloxyl) propane-2-yl) oxy) -2-hydroxypropyl) dimethylamonio) -2-hydroxypropane-1-sulfonate (diC₁₀GE-HSB), was synthesized, and its performances in Surfactant-Polymer (SP) flooding were studied. As a hydrophobic surfactant diC₁₀GE-HSB solely cannot reduce Daqing crude oil/connate water IFT to ultralow, but ultralow IFT can be achieved by using binary mixtures of diC₁₀GE-HSB with various conventional hydrophilic surfactants such as α–olefin sulfonates, dodecyl polyoxyethylene (10) ether, and cetyl dimethyl hydroxypropyl sulfobetaine, over a wide total concentration range (0.625?～?10?mM) at reservoir temperature. This new sulfobetaine surfactant is therefore a good candidate for SP flooding free of alkali.
