Studies on the Effect of Organic Solvents and Temperature on the Micellar Solution of Pentamethylene-1,5-bis(tetradecyldimethylammonium bromide) Gemini Surfactant

Effects of three organic solvents, viz. methyl cellosolve, acetonitrile, and formamide, on the micellization process of Gemini surfactant pentamethylene-1,5-bis(tetradecyldimethylammonium bromide) aqueous solutions, with the volume percentages of the organic solvents up to 50%, have been investigated conductometrically. The studies were made at different temperatures and the data were used to find out different micellization parameters. From the study, it was observed that, although an increment in the amount of the organic solvents delays the micellization, the increase in the critical micelle concentration (cmc) is comparatively less below 20%(v/v) showing the predominance of water character in the bulk phase at lower compositions of the organic solvents. Applying equilibrium model for micelle formation, various thermodynamic parameters were also calculated from the temperature dependence of the cmc values and the results show that the micellization process becomes less spontaneous as the volume % of the organic solvent increases in the system due to the action of water-organic solvent mixed media as better solvent than pure water (solvophobic effect) for the studied Gemini molecules.     

Synthesis and Properties of a New Piperazine-Based Bicaudate Gemini Surfactant

A novel bicaudate gemini surfactant was synthesized with anhydrous piperazine, chloride- bian, and 1-bromo dodecane as raw materials. Its structure was verified by infrared and ¹H NMR. The surface active properties of the bicaudate gemini surfactant in water were measured at 55°C. Its critical micelle concentration (cmc) and γ cmc was 0.50 mmol · L^?1 and 28.95 mN · m^?1, respectively. Results indicate that there was not a remarkable difference in γ_cmc values between the synthesized bicaudate surfactant and conventional gemini surfactant N,N′–bis (dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide)-3-oxa-1,5-pentadiammonium. The sterilizing antimicrobial performance of the bicaudate gemini surfactant was examined. The bicaudate gemini surfactant show excellent inhibition against 18 types of bacteria compared with conventional monomeric surfactant and gemini surfactant at concentrations of 50 mg/L.     

Micellar Aggregation Behavior and Electrochemically Reversible Solubilization of a Redox-Active Nonionic Surfactant

For the purpose of studying the potential of a novel nonionic switchable surfactant, 11-ferrocenylundecyl polyoxyethylene ether (FPEG), applied to surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER), the surface properties and micelle solubilization behavior of FPEG were investigated with different inorganic salts. With the addition of inorganic salts (NaCl and CaCl₂), the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of FPEG dropped from 15 to 12 and 8 mg·L^?1, respectively, due to the salting-out effect on the alkyl chain. Thermodynamic parameters based on the CMCs indicated that micelle formation was an entropy-driven process. Dynamic light scattering measurements verified that these inorganic salts can decrease the hydrodynamic diameters (D _h) of the micelles. Solubilization experiments with three typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) demonstrated that the system of FPEG with NaCl shows the highest solubilization ability, and the molar solubilization ratio and micelle–water partition coefficient (K _m ) values follow the order pyrene > phenanthrene > acenaphthene. After oxidation, PAHs can be released from the micelles through breaking up of the micelles, and the cumulative release efficiency of pyrene, phenanthrene and acenaphthene are 31.2, 42.8 and 44.6 %; the order of release efficiency is opposite to that of the reduced form for solubilization abilities. All the results suggest that the ferrocene-containing, redox-active surfactant FPEG has the potential to be recycled in SER technology through electrochemistry approaches.

Photophysical and Photochemical Processes in Micellar Systems

A fascinating feature inherent to aqueous surfactant solutions is the phenomenon of self-organization: above a certain critical concentration (the critical micelle concentration, CMC) detergent molecules associate spontaneously to build up structural entities of colloidal dimensions called micelles. The architecture of these agglomerates is such that the interior contains the hydrophobic alkyl chain of the amphiphile while the hydrophilic head groups are located at the surface and are in contact with bulk water. In the case of ionic micelles the interface is charged giving rise to an electrical double layer and a potential difference of up to several hundred millivolts between the micellar pseudophase and water. Thus micellar systems are microheterogeneous in character: the electrostatic potential and polarity prevailing in the interior of the aggregate differ from those of the bulk aqueous phase. A particularly attractive aspect of photochemical studies in micellar systems is the possibility of organizing the reactants at a molecular level: by comparison of the data in micelles with similar data in homogeneous solution one can learn about the molecular details of a given reaction and establish which conditions favor one pathway or another. In simple surfactant systems differences in rate and efficiency of a reaction will often be controlled by local electrostatic potentials and the compartmentalization of the reagents within the surfactant aggregates. Through the latter effect the statistics of probe distribution over the micelles becomes important in controlling fast photochemical events. Functional micelles are distinguished by the fact that the surfactant molecule contains a group which itself participates in the photoprocess. These units are unique in that self-assembly often introduces striking cooperative effects.

Synthesis of Copolymer of Acrylamide and a Cationic-Nonionic Bifunctional Polymerizable Surfactant and Its Micellar Behavior in Water

A novel cationic-nonionic bifunctional polymerizable surfactant (PEP) was prepared by the quaternarization of poly (ethylene oxide-propylene oxide) block polymers (PEO-PPO) having terminal tertiary amine group with chloropropene. Polymeric surfactant (PAM-g-PEP) was prepared by the copolymerization of acrylamide and PEP in water and the product was confirmed by FTIR. PAM-g-PEP has exhibit excellent surface and interfacial activity and its surface tension and interfacial tension at cmc are 40.13 mN/m and 11.69 mN/m, respectively. The influence of temperature on the micellar behavior of the PAM-g-PEP in water was studied by the dynamic laser scatting (DLS) and ultraviolet spectroscope. The results showed that PAM-g-PEP in water is thermo-associative. In diluted PAM-g-PEP solution, the R_h of the polymeric surfactant increases with the temperature due to the interpolymeric aggregations are formed. In the case of concentrated PAM-g-PEP solution, the light transmittance of PAM-g-PEP aqueous solution decreases with the increasing temperature, which is may be caused by the increase of the number of the interpolymeric PEP chain aggregates.

Studies on Interaction of Hydrophobically Modified Polyacrylamide of a New Family with Cationic Gemini Surfactant

A new family of hydrophobically modified polyacrylamides (HMPAM) was synthesized via homogeneous copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) and anionic surface-active monomer of acrylamide-type, sodium 2-acrylamido-tetradecane sulfonate (NaAMC₁₄S) in aqueous solution. The copolymers NaAMC₁₄S/AM with microblock structures and with different chain microstructures were obtained by varying the copolymerization factors, such as the feed ratio of NaAMC₁₄S to AM and the amount of added electrolyte NaCl and initiator. The interaction between copolymers NaAMC₁₄S/AM and cationic gemini surfactants, C₁₂C₃C₁₂Br₂ and C₁₂C₆C₁₂Br₂, was studied by using viscosimetry and fluorescent probe technique. The results show this new family of HMPAM, NaAMC₁₄S/AM, has very strong interaction with gemini surfactants, and their aqueous solutions exhibit unique rheological properties.
