Thermodynamic Properties of CTAB in Aqueous Solutions of Neutral Polymers at 25°C

Interactions of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and polypropylene glycols (PPOs) in aqueous solutions of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were investigated through thermodynamic properties at 25°C. The densities and heat capacities of the solutions were measured with a vibrating tube densimeter and a Picker flow microcalorimeter, respectively. The variations in the apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of both solutes, calculated from the densities and heat capacities of the solutions, are unusually large in the vicinity of the CMC, reflecting the existence of very strong interactions between CTAB and PPOs. With the more hydrophilic polymers, PEGs, the apparent properties of CTAB are less affected by the presence of the polymer, indicating that PEGs interact only weakly with CTAB.

DMABN在表面活性剂胶束水溶液中的荧光性质

研究了对二甲氨基苯甲腈(DMABN)在各种胶束水溶液中的荧光光谱性质, 发现不同胶束栅栏层区域的不同性质影响了探针的分子内扭转电荷转移(TICT)特性. 对离子型胶束, 头基电场是主要影响因素, 促进了DMABN分子TICT态的形成, 反离子解离度琢越大, 胶束溶液中的Ia/Ib越强. 在非离子表面活性剂胶束中, 聚氧乙烯链环外壳包裹的大量水使其氢键影响明显, 而很短的聚氧乙烯链还可能带来端基氢的氢键作用. 从DMABN的光物理特性看, 欲将胶束作为分散载体利用其TICT态特性, 选择反离子解离度较大的阴离子胶束(例如SDS或SDSO)较好.

Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Sodium Sulfate Solutions at 40°C

We report osmotic and activity coefficients of aqueous sodium sulfate solutions. The osmotic coefficients were determined at 40°C by the isopiestic method. Sodium chloride served as the isopiestic standard. The molality ranges covered in this study correspond to about 0.2–3.0. The activity coefficients were calculated from the parameters obtained by fitting the Hamer–Wu and Pitzer equations to the experimental osmotic coefficients.     

Viscosities and Excess Properties of Aqueous Solutions of Ethanolamines from 25 to 80°C

Viscosities of aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine and triethanolamine have been measured from 25 to 80°C over the entire range of concentrations. The excess Gibbs energies for viscous flow have been calculated for aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine, triethanolamine, and also for diethanolamine and methyldiethanolamine from our earlier work [J. Chem. Eng. Data 39, 290 (1994)]. The entropy of viscous flow was obtained by using the temperature dependence of the excess Gibbs energy for viscous flow. The structural effects on the viscosity, excess Gibbs energy, and entropy for viscous flow are discussed.     

Equilibrium and Transport Properties of Sodium n-Octyl Sulfonate Aqueous Solutions

Measurements of osmotic coefficients, mutual diffusion coefficients, and conductivity were performed on the binary system sodium n-octyl sulfonate (C₈SO₃Na)–water at 25°C both below and above the micellar composition range. The osmotic coefficient data were obtained through vapor-pressure osmometry, while the Taylor dispersion method was used to measure diffusion coefficients. The mass equilibrium model was applied to this self-aggregating system, taking into account the deviation of the activity coefficients from the Debye–Hückel limiting law by using the Guggenheim corrective terms for mixed electrolyte solutions. The expressions derived from the model fit the experimental osmotic and diffusion coefficient data well, when the same values of aggregation number, fraction of condensed counterions, and equilibrium constant are used. Osmotic coefficients were also used to determine the thermodynamic factor required to compute the solute mobility from diffusion data. Conductivity data were used to test two theoretical models, namely, the Onsager–Fuoss and the Mean Spherical Approximation theories. Both models have been found to yield unsatisfactory fits to our experimental data and some arbitrary terms had to be applied to the theoretical expressions to obtain good agreement between experiment and theory.     

Enthalpic Interaction of Amino Acids with Ethanol in Aqueous Solutions at 25°C

The enthalpies of mixing aqueous ethanol solutions and with aqueous amino acid solutions (glycine, L-alanine, L-serine, L-threonine, and L-proline) and their respective enthalpies of dilution have been determined at 25^°C by a flow microcalorimetric system. The experimental data have been analyzed in terms of McMillan-Mayer formalism to obtain the enthalpic virial coefficients for heterotactic interaction. The results have been interpreted from the point of view of solute-solute interactions.     

Micellization and Interaction Properties of Aqueous Solutions of Mixed Cationic and Nonionic Surfactants

The micellization process of binary surfactant mixtures containing cationic surfactants viz. dodecyl pyridinium halide (C₁₂PyX; X=Cl, Br, I), tetradecyl pyridium bromide (C₁₄PyBr), and hexadecyl pyridium halide (C₁₆PyX; X=Cl, Br) and a nonionic surfactants viz. dodecyl nonapolyethylene glycol ether (C₁₂E₉), dodecyl decapolyethylene glycol ether (C₁₂E₁₀), dodecyl dodecapolyethylene glycol ether (C₁₂E₁₂), and dodecyl pentadecapolyethylene glycol ether (C₁₂E₁₅) in water at different mole fractions (0–1) were studied by surface tension method. The composition of mixed micelles and the interaction parameter, β evaluated from the CMC data obtained by surface tension for different systems using Rubingh's theory were discussed. Activity coefficient (f₁ and f₂) of cationic surfactant (C_nPyBr)/C₁₂E_m (n=12, 14, 16 and m=10, 12, 15) mixed surfactant systems were evaluated, which shows extent of ideality of individual surfactant in mixed system. The stability factors for mixed micelles were also discussed by Maeda's approach, which was justified on the basis of steric factor due to difference in head group of nonionic surfactant.     

Electron Transport Properties of Ions in Aqueous Solutions of Sodium Selenite

Ion diffusion kinetics has been studied using the data of conductivity measurements for aqueous solutions of sodium selenite with different concentrations and at different temperatures. Molecular and ionic self-diffusion coefficients have been determined for infinitely dilute solutions in the temperature range 288 K-313 K. The limiting values of ion mobility and changes in the energies of translation of water molecules from ions’ hydration shell have been found. At elevated temperatures, ΔE _tr ⁰ increases for both ions in direct proportion to the crystallographic radius of the latter. Ion hydration numbers at 298 K have been calculated. The results of this study are interpreted in the light of Samoilov’s theory on positive and negative hydration of ions.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by L. T. Vlaev and S. D.

Determination of Hydrogen Single Ion Activity Coefficients in Aqueous HCl Solutions at 25°C

The single ion activity coefficients of hydrogen and chloride ions in aqueous HCl solutions have been estimated at 25°C at concentrations up to 1 mol-kg^–1, using potentiometric measurements with ion-selective electrodes and appropriate calibration procedures. Two methods are described for an internal calibration of the electrodes in the extended Debye–Hückel concentration range. The results are compared to the conventional pH calibration with external buffer solutions. Since the latter calibration method does not account for the liquid junction potential E _J which arises at the reference electrode, the resulting activity coefficients are quite different in HCl solutions of higher concentration. These differences between internal and external calibration decrease significantly, when a correction for E _J is introduced into the conventional pH calibration. Hence, in solutions of higher ionic strength the accuracy of the conventional pH electrode calibration using buffer solutions is very limited, when exact H⁺ activities are required. The consistency of the results indicates that the liquid junction potentials in the examined systems calculated by the Henderson/Bates approximation are of reasonable precision.     

The Influence on Interfacial Tension of the Combination of Anionic and Cationic Surfactants: Alkyl Sulfonate/Alkyltrimethylammonium Bromide

Mioellization of aqueous mixture of sodium octyl sulfonate ( C₈As )/ cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate (C₁₂As)( CTAB in the presence of sodium bromide has been studied by surface tension measurement. Nonideal solution theory has been used to calculate the molecular interaction parameters (β^M and β^s). The oil-aqueous interfacial tensions of C₁₂As/ CTAB, C₈As/CTAB, C₁₂As/dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) systems were also measured. We studied the influence of the surfactant concentration, surfactant molar fraction ratio, hydrocarbon chain length, added NaCl and alcohol concentration on the interfacial tension.     

Location of Pinacyanol in Micellar Solutions of N-Alkyl Trimethylammonium Bromide Surfactants

The interaction of pinacyanol (PIN), a cationic dye formed by monomer and dimer species, with three cationic surfactants (DTAB, TTAB, and HTAB) has been studied spectroscopically and by acid-base equilibrium in the micellar concentration range. In the presence of surfactants, the absorption maximum of the two main peaks undergoes bathochromic shifts. The spectral shifts suggest a hydrophobic environment of the chromophore. The presence of micelles favors the monomer species; i.e., it reduces the extent of dimerization. The pK(a) of PIN in micellar medium is similar to the value in pure water. When acid-base equilibrium was considered, the changes in the interfacial pK(a) allowed to us to determine the constant dielectric for the interfacial region (epsilon=69). This led to the conclusion that the dye must be solubilized between the solution and the hydrocarbon chain core, i.e., in the aqueous micellar interface. This location can be explained by a cation-pi interaction between the uncharged ring system of the dye and the cationic headgroups of the surfactants. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.

Volumetric Studies on Aqueous Solutions of Dodecyltrimethylammonium Bromide and 1-Dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium Bromide

The densities of aqueous solutions of mixed surfactants of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (DTAB/C₁₂mimBr) were measured at various compositions. The concentration dependent apparent molar volumes of these mixed surfactants were calculated and used to deduce the critical micelle concentrations (cmc) and the apparent molar volumes in the micelles and the continuous phase. The one-parameter Margules equation was applied to correlate the composition dependent cmc values and to obtain the activity coefficients and mole fractions of these surfactants in the mixed micelles, which were further used to calculate the excess Gibbs energies and the excess volumes. It was found that the excess Gibbs energies and the excess volumes of the mixed micelles are all negative, indicating that these mixed micelles are more stable and packed more tightly than their corresponding pure micelles.     

Transport Properties of Surfactants in Micellar Systems

A methodological supplement has been proposed to author previous paper on the correlation between the mobility and diffusion coefficient (Colloid J., 2016, vol. 78, p. 88). Now, the self-diffusion coefficient has been added to the aforementioned parameters. It has been found when it coincides with the diffusion coefficient and when not. The correlation between the three transport properties has been established, and appropriate schemes of their experimental study have been considered. The computational relations based on the traditional assumption of constant aggregation numbers have been generalized taking into account recent results of studying the effect of variability of surfactant aggregation numbers.     

Apparent Molar Volumes of Benzyltrimethylammonium Bromide and Its Homologs in Aqueous Solution at 15, 25, and 35°C

Apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution of benzyltrimethylammonium bromide and its butyl and hexyl homologs at 15, 25, and 35°C and of dibenzyldimethylammonium bromide at 25°C in aqueous solution were estimated from density measurements. The additivity rule for the contribution of the methylene groups to the apparent molar volumes was found to be obeyed within a broad range of homologs, which covers the parent salt and the dodecyldimethylbenzylammonium bromide. The volumetric contribution of the phenylene (–C₆H₄–) group was estimated to be 61 cm³-mol^–1 at 25°C. A value of –16.9 ± 0.3 cm³-mol^–1 was suggested for the volumetric contribution of the N⁺ fragment to the apparent molar volume of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium salts.     

Aggregation Properties of Sodium Hyaluronate with Alkanediyl-alpha,omega-bis(dimethylalkylammonium Bromide) Surfactants in Aqueous Sodium Chloride Solution

Lysine, which is an amino acid with a basic side group, is present in biological fluids and its role in the biological calcification process was investigated. It was found to inhibit the crystal growth rate of hydroxyapatite (HAP), in solutions supersaturated only with respect to this calcium phosphate salt and this rate reduction was attributed to adsorption and further blocking of the active growth sites on the crystal surface. The crystallization kinetics were interpreted in terms of the Langmuir adsorption model. The apparent order of the crystallization reaction was found to be n=2, suggesting a surface diffusion controlled spiral growth mechanism. Kinetic results of HAP crystallization were obtained using the constant composition method where the concentration of the reactants is kept constant during the course of the crystal growth experiment.
