电解质和乙醇对DNA与Gemini表面活性剂相互作用的影响

应用荧光探针和zeta电位方法研究了电解质NaBr、NaCl、KCl和有机溶剂乙醇对DNA与Gemini表面活性剂相互作用的影响. DNA诱导的表面活性剂类胶束在较低浓度即可生成, 这一浓度称为临界聚集浓度(CAC).

Interaction between biosurfactant surfactin and cationic surfactant cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide in mixed micelle

An anionic/cationic mixed surfactant aqueous system of surfactin and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) at different molar ratios was studied by surface tension and fluorescence methods (pH 8.0). Various parameters that included critical micelle concentration (cmc), micellar composition (X ₁), and interaction parameter (β ^m) as well as thermodynamic properties of mixed micelles were determined. The β ^m was found to be negative and the mixed system was found to have much lower cmc than pure surfactant systems. There exits synergism between anionic surfactin and cationic CTAB surfactants. The degree of participation of surfactin in the formation of mixed micelle changes with mixing ratio of the two surfactants. The results of aggregation number, fluorescence anisotropy, and viscosity indicate that more packed and larger aggregates were formed from mixed surfactants than unmixed, and the mixed system may be able to form vesicle spontaneously at high molar fraction of surfactin.     

Application of a chemical equilibrium model to thermodynamic functions of transfer of alcohols from water to aqueous surfactants

In ternary aqueous solutions, hydrophobic solutes such as alcohols tend to aggregate with surfactants to form mixed micelles. These systems can be studied by meas of the functions of transfer of hydrophobic solutes from water to aqueous solutions of surfactant. These thermodynamic functions often go through extrema in the critical micellar concentration (CMC) region of the surfactant. A simple model based on interactions between surfactant and hydrophobic solute monomers, on the distribution of the hydrophobic solute between water and the micelles and on the shift in the CMC induced by the hydrophobic solute, can simulate the magnitude and trends of the transfer functions using parameters which are mostly derived from the binary systems. In order to check the model more quantitatively, volumes and heat capacities of transfer of alcohols from water to aqueous solutions of a nonionic surfactant, octyldimethylamine oxide, were measured. A quantitative agreement was achieved with three adjustable parameters. Good fits are also obtained for the transfers to the ionic surfactants, octylamine hydrobromide and sodium dodecylsulfate. When the equilibrium displacement contribution is small, the distribution constants and the partial molar properties of the alcohols in the micellar phase agree well with the parameters obtained with similar models.     

Co-solvent effects on drag reduction, rheological properties and micelle microstructures of cationic surfactants

Some quaternary cationic surfactants, when mixed with a counterion, are known to self-assemble into threadlike micelles in water. Such behavior causes drastic changes in rheological properties of even very dilute solutions, allowing them to be used as drag reducing agents (DRA) in turbulent pipe flow circulating systems, such as district cooling/heating systems. Surfactant self-assembly is a physicochemical phenomenon whose character depends on surfactant nature and concentration, nature of the solvent, temperature and type and concentration of counterions. This study investigates drag reduction (DR) and rheological properties of two cationic surfactants, Ethoquad O/12 (oleyl bis(hydroxyethyl)methylammonium chloride) and Ethoquad O/13 (oleyl tris(hydroxyethyl) ammonium acetate), with excess salicylate counterion (NaSal), in mixed solvents containing 0 to 28 wt% ethylene glycol (EG) and water. The addition of EG to the solvent had greater effects on solutions' DR ability, shear viscosity, apparent extensional viscosity and viscoelasticity at 25 degrees C than at approximately 0 degrees C. Cryo-TEM images show threadlike micelle in these systems. DR at low temperatures in solutions containing moderate amount of EG can be utilized in a new approach to energy saving in district cooling systems using EG-water based mixtures as the cooling fluids.     

Preparation of substituted ionic carbohydrate polymers and their interactions with ionic surfactants

The formation of micelles of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) in aqueous solutions containing charged polysaccharides was studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements using pyrene as a photophysical probe. Micropolarity studies using the I₁/I₃ ratio of the vibronic emission bands of pyrene and the behaviour of the I_E/I_M ratio between the excimer and monomer emissions show the formation of hydrophobic domains. The interactions between the polyelectrolytes and surfactants of opposite charge lead to the formation of induced pre-micelles at surfactant concentrations lower than the critical micellar concentration (cmc) of the surfactants. At similar concentrations, the I_E/I_M ratio shows a peak. This aggregation process is assumed to be due to electrostatic attractions. At higher surfactant concentrations, near the critical micellar concentration, micelles with the same properties as those found in pure aqueous solution are formed. On the other hand, systems containing polyelectrolytes and surfactants of the same charge do not show this behaviour at low concentrations. The presence of long alkyl chains bound to the polyelectrolytes also induces the formation of free micelles at concentrations somewhat below the aqueous cmc.     

Dimeric and oligomeric surfactants. Behavior at interfaces and in aqueous solution: a review

Dimeric and oligomeric surfactants are novel surfactants that are presently attracting considerable interest in the academic and industrial communities working on surfactants. This paper first presents a number of chemical structures that have been reported for ionic, amphoteric and nonionic dimeric and oligomeric surfactants. The following aspects of these surfactants are then successively reviewed the state of dimeric and oligomeric surfactants in aqueous solutions at concentration below the critical micellization concentration (cmc); their behavior at the air/solution and solid/solution interfaces; their solubility in water, cmc and thermodynamics of micellization; the properties of the aqueous micelles of dimeric and oligomeric surfactants (ionization degree, size, shape, micropolarity and microviscosity, solution microstructure, solution rheology, micelle dynamics, micellar solubilization, interaction between dimeric surfactants and water-soluble polymers); the mixed micellization of dimeric surfactants with various conventional surfactants; the phase behavior of dimeric surfactants and the applications of these novel surfactants.     

Effect of salt and surfactant on aqueous solution properties of pyrene-labeled poly(3-dimethyl (methylmethacryloyl ethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate)

Photophysical and solution properties of pyrene-labeled poly(3-dimethyl(methylmethacryloyl ethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate), poly(DMAPS/Py), were studied in terms of fluorescence emission measurement. The I_E/I_M was shown as a function of polymer concentration in deionized water. I_E/I_M value decreases with an increase in the salt concentration. The addition of surfactants to the aqueous solution of poly(DMAPS/Py) can either induce the mixed micelle of intra-polymer and its surrounding surfactants and/or mixed micelle of inter-polymers and their surrounding surfactants. Models of interactions between poly(DMAPS/Py) and surfactant or divalent salt in aqueous solution are proposed.     

HEXADECYLTRIMETHYLAMMONIUM BROMIDE + TETRADECYLTRIMETHYL-AMMONIUM BROMIDE MIXED MICELLES IN AQUEOUS GLYCOL OLIGOMERS

The conductances of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) + tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) mixtures over the entire mole fraction range of HTAB (α_HTAB) were measured in pure water as well as in the presence of various aqueous ethylene glycol oligomers containing 5, 10 and 20 wt% of each additive in their respective binary mixtures at 30°C. From the conductivity data, the critical micellar concentration (cmc), degree of counter ion association (χ) and the standard free energy of transfer of the surfactant hydrocarbon chain from the medium to the micelle (ΔG^O _HP ) for HTAB and TTAB were computed. From the conductivity data of mixed surfactants systems, apart from cmc and χ, the regular solution theory parameters were also computed in order to explore the non-ideality in the mixed micelle formation in the presence of additives. The micellar parameters of both kind of surfactants and their mixtures show a significant dependence on the amount as well as on the number of repeating units of glycol oligomers. However, the non-ideality of mixed micelle formation remains unaffected in the presence of additives. These results have been explained on the basis of the medium effects of aqueous additive and it has been concluded that there are no significant interactions of glycol oligomers with the micelles of single and mixed surfactants.     

Micellization of fluorinated amphiphiles

New cationic fluorinated surfactants and new types of fluorinated surfactants having fluorocarbon–hydrocarbon hybrids, dimeric and polymeric structure have been synthesized recently. Their synthesis requires many steps and consequently requires much time and high expense. Since the fluorinated surfactants have unusual molecular aggregation properties, ¹⁹F-NMR, novel fluorescence probes and cryo-transmission electron microscope techniques have been applied to study their aggregation behaviour in aqueous systems. Their unique characteristics are summarized as follows: (1) the dissolution process from solid state to dissolved aggregate state requires a very long time for the long chain fluorinated surfactants under thermodynamic equilibrium. The equilibration time can be reduced at higher temperatures; (2) interfacial properties and critical micelle concentration (CMC) are influenced by the nature of the hydrophobic terminal groups (CF₃− or HCF₂−); (3) the fluorocarbon functionality can make it possible even for single-chain amphiphiles to form vesicles or lamellar structures; (4) the hybrid surfactant made of both hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon chains showed a life time of 2.0×10⁻³ s for the exchange rate between the monomeric and the micellar states at the CMC and moreover, these detergents can cosolubilize fluorocarbon–hydrocarbon mixed solubilizates.     

Adsorption and Micellization in Solutions of Dodecylpyridinium Bromide–Nonionic Surfactant Mixtures

Dependences of the surface tension of aqueous solutions of cationic (dodecylpyridinium bromide) and nonionic (Tween 80, Triton X-100) surfactants and their mixtures on total surfactant concentration and solution composition were studied. The values of critical micellization concentration (CMC) and excess free energy of adsorption were determined from tensiometric measurements. Based on Rubingh–Rosen model (approximation of the theory of regular solutions), the compositions of micelles and adsorption layers at the solution–air interface as well as parameters of interaction between the molecules of cationic and nonionic surfactants were calculated for the systems indicated above. It was established that, in the case of surfactant mixtures with considerable difference in the CMCs, the micelles of individual surfactant with lower CMC value are formed. The effect of negative deviation from the ideality during the adsorption of surfactants from mixed solutions at the solution–air interface was disclosed. It was shown that the interaction energy depends significantly on the composition of mixed systems.
