Physicochemical studies on hydrophobic PEO‐PPO‐PEO triblock copolymer micelles in SDS micellar environment

The shape, size, aggregation, hydration, and correlation times of water insoluble PEO‐PPO‐PEO triblock copolymer micelles with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) micelles were investigated using transport studies and dynamic light scattering technique. From the conductance of micellar solutions of the polymer in 25 mM SDS and 5 mM NaCl, the hydration of polymer micelles were determined using the principle of obstruction of electrolyte migration by the polymer. The asymmetry of the micellar particles of polymer and polymer‐SDS mixed micellar systems in 5 mM NaCl and their average axial ratios were calculated using intrinsic viscosity and hydration data obeying Simha–Einstein equation. Hydration number and micellar sizes were variable with temperature. The shape of the polymer micelles has been ellipsoidal rather than spherical. The micellar volume, hydrodynamic radius, radius of gyration, diffusional coefficients as well as translational, rotational and effective correlation times have been calculated from the absolute values of the axes. The partial molal volume of polymer micelles has also been determined and its comparison with the molar volume of pure polymer suggested a volume contraction due to immobilization of the water phase by the hydrophilic head groups of the polymer. The thermodynamic activation parameters for viscous flow favor a more ordered water structure around polymer micelles at higher temperatures. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A photophysical study of the urea effect on micellar properties of sodium dodecylsulfate aqueous solutions

With the aim of studying the effect of urea on micellar properties of aqueous solutions of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), steadystate fluorescence experiments were carried out with different luminescence probes incorporated into the micellar phase. The increase of critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the surfactant with urea addition was followed by changes in the relative intensities of the vibrational fine structure of the pyrene fluorescence spectra. Micellar aggregation numbers were obtained from the analysis of fluorescence quenching data using ruthenium tris(bipyridyl) chloride and 9-mehylanthracene as a donorquencher pair. It was found that the decrease in the aggregation number is mainly controlled by rise in the surface area per headgroup of the surfactant. From fluorescence measurements, using several ionic probes (8-anilino-1-naphthalen-sulfonic acid, rhodamine B, and auramine O), it was found that urea decreases the polarity and increases the microviscosity of the micellar interface. These effects, which are dependent on the concentration of urea, can be explained according to a direct interaction of urea at the micellar surface.

Comparison of Pulsed Electrochemical Detection Modes Coupled with Microchip Capillary Electrophoresis

There is a need to develop analytical methods that are capable of rapidly measuring small biological markers in the field of metabolomics. Among others, carbohydrates play an important role biologically yet are traditionally hard to detect since they have no chromophore or fluorophore. In the present report, the first application of integrated pulsed amperometric detection (iPAD) coupled with microchip electrophoresis to the analysis of glucose, mannose, sucrose, maltose, glucosamine, lactose, maltotriose and galactose is demonstrated. iPAD is an electrochemical detection mode that can be used for direct detection of carbohydrates, amines and sulfur containing compounds. The effect of different solution parameters, including the buffer concentration, pH and the concentration of SDS on both separation and detection response was analyzed. In addition, a comparison study between PAD and iPAD was performed using glucose, glucosamine, sucrose and maltose as model carbohydrates.

The acid-catalyzed addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and activated olefins (silyl enol ethers and ethyl vinyl ether) to N-Boc-2-methoxypyrrolidine (1a) and N-Boc-2-methoxypiperidine (1b) in SDS/water medium is described. Good yields of the corresponding 2-substituted N-Boc pyrrolidines were generally observed from 1a while moderate yields prevailed from 1b.     

Hydrolysis of cephanone in the micelles with different charges

The hydrolysis of cephanone in water and micelles with different charges was studied by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The change of pH with the hydrolysis of cephanone was determined. The mechanism of the hydrolysis and the effect of the acidity of the media on the hydrolysis were studied. The results show that the hydrolysis rate of cephanone increases with the acidity. Compared with water, SDS micelles accelerate this hydrolysis, whereas CTAB and Triton X-100 micelles suppress it. The effects of the micelles with different charges on the hydrolysis are explained by the proton concentration of the micro-environment where cephanone exists and by the charge density of the polar group of the cephanone molecules.     

十二烷基硫酸钠毛细管电泳法分析非还原单克隆抗体药物纯度的前处理条件优化

十二烷基硫酸钠毛细管电泳法因具有快速、分辨率高的优势，已成为单克隆抗体纯度分析的主流方法。在非还原单克隆抗体纯度检测中，其样品前处理过程对于结果有显著影响。为优化样品前处理，考察了以碘乙酰胺和N-乙基马来酰亚胺为巯基封闭剂，在pH 6.0~9.0的样品缓冲液条件下，不同种类和批次的单抗的纯度。发现在两种巯基封闭剂中，高pH的样品缓冲液会影响巯基封闭的效果，产生较多的抗体片段；而在低pH条件下，抗体片段较少，单抗的纯度更高。因此在进行非还原单抗的纯度检测中，pH 6.0的样品缓冲液为最佳的前处理条件。

ZnO nanotubes were synthesized in large scale by thermal decomposition of the precursors obtained via chemical reaction between Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O and NaHCO₃ in the presence of surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The inner diameters of the tubes were in the range of 80～100 nm, and outer diameters in the range of 160～260 nm with lengths up to a few micrometers. The products were characterized with XRD, TEM, and SEM.     

The study of the partitioning mechanism of methyl orange in an aqueous two-phase system

An aqueous two-phase system of dodecyl triethylammonium bromide (C₁₂NE, cationic surfactant) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, anionic surfactant) mixture is proposed for the extraction of some dyes and porphyrin compounds. Transparent two phase-systems are formed when the surfactant concentrations and C₁₂NE/SDS ratios are in certain regions. In this study, the aqueous two phase-systems were prepared by mixing 0.1 mol l⁻¹ C₁₂NE and SDS with a molar ratio of 1.7:1.0. The results showed that negatively charged chlorophyll (sodium copper chlorophyllin) and positively charged dye (methyl violet) were efficiently extracted into the upper phase. The negatively charged methyl orange (pH>7) was moved into the upper phase mostly while amphoteric methyl orange (pH<3) was distributed in the two phases uniformly. Except for hydrophobic force, charge interaction between solute and surfactant also play an important role in the extraction process.
