Adsorption of alkyl polyglucosides on the solid/water interface: equilibrium effects of alkyl chain length and head group polymerization

The equilibrium adsorption behavior of two n-alkyl-beta-D-glucosides (octyl (C8G1) and decyl (C10G1)) and four n-alkyl-beta-D-maltosides (octyl (C8G2), decyl (C10G2), dodecyl (C12G2), and tetradecyl (C14G2)) from aqueous solution on a titania surface, as measured by ellipsometry, has been investigated. The main focus has been on the effect of changes in the alkyl chain length and headgroup polymerization, but a comparison with their adsorption on the silica/water and air/water interfaces is also presented. Some comparison with the corresponding adsorption of ethylene oxide surfactants, in particular C10E6 and C12E6, is given as well. For all alkyl polyglucosides, the maximum adsorbed amount on titania is reached slightly below the critical micelle concentration (cmc), where it levels off to a plateau and the amount adsorbed corresponds roughly to a bilayer. However, there is no evidence that this is the actual conformation of the surfactant assemblies on the surface, but the surfactants could also be arranged in a micellar network. On hydrophilic silica, the adsorbed amount is a magnitude lower than on titania, corresponding roughly to a layer of surfactants lying flat on the surface. A change in the alkyl chain length does not result in any change in the plateau molar adsorbed amount at equilibrium; however, the isotherm slope for the alkyl maltosides increases with increasing chain length. Headgroup polymerization on the other hand affects the adsorbed amount. The alkyl glucosides start adsorbing at lower bulk concentrations than the maltosides and equilibrate at higher adsorbed amounts above the cmc. When compared with the ethylene oxide (EO) surfactants, it is confirmed that the EO surfactants hardly adsorb on titania, since the measured changes in the ellipsometric angles are within the noise level. They do, however, adsorb strongly on silica.     

Synthesis and unusual properties of novel alkylbenzene sulfonate gemini surfactants

Seven new dialkyldibenzene disulfonate gemini surfactants have been synthesised. The physico-chemical properties such as their surface tensions, krafft temperatures and melting temperatures have been measured. It was found that the anionic gemini surfactants showed some aberrant properties. The results determined by drop-volume method indicated that surfactants Id, Ie at 25 °C and IIb at 50 °C showed no cmc and lowered surface tension of water hardly despite their seemingly favorable amphiphilic components. However, the three surfactants showed a sharp cmc and good surface activity with the increment of temperature. Surfactant Ie with two longer chains had a higher cmc than that for shorter chain surfactant Id. Furthermore, for this class of anionic gemini surfactants, the spacer carbon number had more important effects than the alkyl chain carbon number on their krafft temperatures and melting temperatures.

Alpha-Lactalbumin is unfolded by all classes of surfactants but by different mechanisms

We show that all four classes of surfactants (anionic, cationic, non-ionic, and zwitterionic) denature alpha-lactalbumin (alphaLA), making alphaLA an excellent model system to compare their denaturation mechanisms. This involves at least two steps in all surfactants but is more complex in charged surfactants due to their strong binding properties. At very low concentrations, charged surfactants bind specifically as monomers, but the first denaturation process only sets in when 4-10 surfactant molecules are bound to form clusters on the protein surface and is followed by a second loss of structure as 20-25 surfactant molecules are bound. Sub-micellar interactions can be modeled as simple independent binding at multiple sites which does not achieve saturation before micelle formation sets in. In contrast, no specific sub-micellar surfactant binding is detected by calorimetry in the presence of zwitterionic and non-ionic surfactants, and denaturation only occurs around the cmc. Unfolding rates are very rapid in charged surfactants and reach a similar plateau level around the cmc, indicating that monomers and micelles operate on a mutually exclusive basis. In contrast, unfolding occurs slowly in zwitterionic and non-ionic surfactants and the rate increases with the cmc, suggesting that monomers cooperate with micelles in denaturation.     

Surface-active, micellar, and antielectrostatic properties of bis-ammonium salts

A series of new cationic surfactants, bis-quaternary ammonium dibromides, were synthesized. The properties of these surfactants were characterized by surface tension measurements, conductivity study, and dynamic light scattering. The surface properties, such as surface excess concentration, Gamma(cmc), surface area demand per molecule, A(min), efficiency in surface tension reduction, pC(20), the effectiveness of surface tension reduction, gamma(min), critical micelle concentration, cmc, and standard free energy of micellization, DeltaG(mic)(0) and DeltaG(ads)(0), were obtained by means of surface tension measurements. The antielectrostatic properties were investigated by measuring the surface resistance, the half-charge decay time, and the maximum voltage induced on polyethylene films and propylene unwoven fabrics. Critical micellar concentrations (cmc) of investigated salts were much lower than those of the monomeric salt DTAC. The results obtained in this work were compared to analogous bis-quaternary ammonium dichlorides and well-known gemini cationic surfactants. It was found that the type of counterion had an impact on the values of the micelle ionization degree and the hydrodynamic diameters. Larger aggregates were found for bis-quaternary ammonium dibromides, which had smaller values of the ionization micelle degree than bis-quaternary ammonium dichlorides. Moreover, the antielectrostatic effect strongly depended on the kind of counterion. All investigated salts had very good antistatic properties.     

Cationic ester-containing gemini surfactants: adsorption at tailor-made surfaces monitored by SPR and QCM

Adsorption of a series of ester-containing cationic surfactants at a surface containing 90% methyl groups and 10% carboxyl groups was studied by two surface analysis techniques, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Such a surface, which is at the same time hydrophobic and negatively charged, is of interest as a model for many polymeric surfaces. Two different types of ester gemini surfactants and their monomeric counterparts were included together with nonester containing surfactants of similar structure. The results show that the gemini surfactants give the same adsorbed amount at the surface as the monomeric surfactants when compared at the same bulk concentration normalized to the critical micelle concentration (cmc) in bulk. Since the cmc of the geminis is around 20 times lower than the cmc of the corresponding monomeric surfactants, the gemini surfactants are much more effective in covering the surface. The two techniques gave similar relative values but the QCM values were always higher than those from SPR, which is due to the former method taking also adsorbed water into account. The adsorption, as measured by both methods, was found to follow closely the Langmuir adsorption model.     

Fluorosurfactants at structural extremes: adsorption and aggregation

Fluorosurfactants with several structural modifications have been synthesized, and the air/water interface and bulk aggregation properties investigated. The compounds were fluorinated ethylene oxide (EO) nonionics where the number and position of the hydrophilic group(s) has been radically altered to generate linear, bolaform, and Y-shaped analogues. A noticeable structure-interfacial packing relationship was observed via both tensiometric measurements and neutron reflection studies: the limiting molecular areas, a(cmc), and surface excesses, gamma(cmc), are strongly dependent on the number and position of the EO headgroups. Differing bulk aqueous properties were also observed. Small-angle neutron scattering shows an evolution of micelle structure from cylindrical to disk-like aggregates on changing from Y-shaped to bolaform molecular structure.     

Self-assembly and micellization of amphiphilic rod-coil block oligomer at the mica-water interface

In this paper, in situ atomic force microscopy has been used to investigate the micellization and self-assembling structure of an amphiphilic rod-coil block oligomer (EO16OPV) containing a conjugated oligo(phenylene vinylene) dimer and poly(ethylene oxide) at the mica-water interface. It is found that EO16OPV molecules have strong adsorption and aggregation properties on mica. In the wide concentration range from above the critical micelle concentration (cmc) to far below the cmc, a closely packed layer of stripe-like micelles with two preferred orientations can be formed at the mica-water interface. A cylindrical micelle structure for the stripes is proposed. We demonstrate that the stripe-like micelles formed on mica originate from different micellization processes at solution concentrations above and below the cmc. The origins of the strong micellization properties and oriented arrangement of the stripes are also discussed.
