由表面活性物质溶液的动界面张力外推求平衡界面张力的研究

表面活性物质溶液的界面张力往往随时间而变,难以测得平衡界面张力J。Kloubek^[1]曾应用经验式:1/(δ_H2O-δ_t)=b/(At^1/2)+1/A,以[1/(δ_H2O-δ_t)]对1/t^1/2作图外推求得溶液的平衡表面张力,但所得结果仅与文献值大致相符。本文从理论上分析该经验式的由来,以及产生偏离的原因,并寻求了解决的办法。

Silicon-Modified Carbohydrate Surfactants V: The Wetting Behaviour of Low-Molecular-Weight Siloxane,Carbosilane, Silane and Polysilane Precursors on Low-Energy Surfaces

The surface tensions, wetting tensions, contact angles and solid/liquid interfacial tensions of defined siloxanes as well as those of analogous carbosilanes, polysilanes and neopentyl substituted silanes were determined. The wetting experiments were carried out on a glass plate coated with perfluoroalkyl methacrylate (FC 722^®). The siloxanes possess the lowest surface tensions. Due to the presence of oxygen atoms in the siloxane backbone, a donor–acceptor portion (γ^+/−_lv) of the surface tension of about 1–2 mN/m was determined. The solid/liquid interfacial tension also contains a donor–acceptor portion (γ^+/−_sl). Its value is almost identical to that of γ^+/−_lv. The γ^+/−_sl differences between individual molecules of the same surface tension are responsible for contact angle differences of up to 4°. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Simultaneous study of interfacial tension,surface tension,and viscosity of few surfactant solutions with survismeter

Surfaces and interfaces are receptive valuable significant property of chemical molecules due to their potential to develop several phenomena in a self‐controlled mechanism. Science of surfaces is vast and is being used industrially since time immemorial. Their accurate and simultaneous estimation is necessary; therefore, the survismeter was used for measuring them along with viscosity. Individually tensiometers, X‐ray reflective microscope, and viscometers are used for surface tension, interfacial tension, and viscosity, respectively. These devices are sophisticated, expensive, and individually consume much time and resources with poor reproducibility in measurements. Survismeter is an alternative device for similar measurements together with higher accuracies and reproducibility. It works on a principle of capillary flow and pressure gradient (PG) inside liquid‐holding and air‐filled bulbs. Several liquids have been used for study with ± 0.01 mN/m, ± 0.01 mN/m and ± 1 × 10^?5 N s/m² accuracies in respective data. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Calculation of Sound Velocities of Liquid Metals at their Melting Point via the Percus-Yevick Theory of Melting

Abstract

In this brief note, we utilize the 3N collective coordinate theory of liquids of Percus and Yevick¹ as applied to the phenomenon of melting by Omini² to calculate the sound Velocities in various simple liquid metals at their melting temperatures. We perform this calculation by taking derivatives of Omini's² calculated Percus-Yevick dispersion relations for their “liquid phonon” collective coordinate elementary excitations of the liquid. We compare these calculated sound velocities with experimental data, where possible, to ascertain the validity of the liquid phonon dispersion relation as a source of sound velocities.     

Synthesis of Surfactants from Alkali Lignin for Enhanced Oil Recovery

With the cheap and abundant resource of alkali lignin as feedstock, surfactants for enhanced oil recovery were synthesized by amination and alkylation reaction of lignosulfonate. The effects of amination conditions, including the ratio of raw materials, amination reagent, temperature, and reaction time, on nitrogen contents and surface tension of the surfactants were investigated. The results showed that ethylenediamine was more suitable for amination, and the molar ratio of alkali lignin, ethylenediamine, and formaldehyde was 1:2:1.5 at 80°C for 5 hours. The structure of synthesized products was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. The HLB value of synthesized product was 10. The interfacial tension between Daqing crude oil and synthetic water could be decreased to 10^?2 mN/m with synthesized surfactant and NaOH at 45°C. Moreover, the effects of molecular weight of surfactants on interfacial tension were also studied. The synthesized surfactant (M_w > 10,000) showed a better interfacial activity on Daqing crude oil.     

Effect of substituent distribution on water solubility of O-methylcellulose

The effect of substituent distribution on the water solubility of O-methylcellulose (MC) was re-examined to elucidate the lower limit of the degree of substitution (DS) in water-soluble MC. To this end, a series of 2,3-MCs which are regioselectively substituted at the C-2 and C-3 hydroxyl groups were prepared by homogeneous methylation. It was found that the lower limit for the DS value of water-soluble 2,3-MC was almost the same as that for MCs having even distributions of substituents along the cellulose chain as well as in the anhydroglucose units. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Foam fractionation of a dilute solution of bovine lactoferrin

Lactoferrin (Lf), a protein found in human and bovine milk, tears, blood, and other secretory fluids, has been used to prevent infection from potential microbial pathogens by its ability to bind with iron (Fe³⁺). Currently, bovine lactoferrin can be purified from milk using ion exchange resin, which is a costly procedure making lactoferrin expensive. The purpose of this work was to investigate a low-cost foam fractionation process as the first step in separating lactoferrin from milk.     

Investigation Static/Dynamic Surface and Interfacial Tension of Some Synthesized Polymeric Surfactants to Enhance the Egyptian Jet Fuel A1 Atomization

In the present work some exthoxylated polyalkylphenol surfactants have different alkyl chains (nonyl and dodecyl) were synthesized. The static surface tension for these surfactants in water and jet fuel A1 was measured and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) for each surfactant was determined. The data show the general trend of decreasing the CMC against the molecular weight of the synthesized polymeric surfactants. The HLB of these surfactants was also calculated. The dynamic surface tension for the synthesized surfactants was measured at CMC. The dynamic interfacial tension for these surfactants with jet fuel A1 at CMC was also measured using the spinning drop technique. The results showed that the effect of the synthesized surfactants on deceasing the time of droplet maturation was significant remarked. The decrease of this time leads to enhance of jet fuel atomization.

Prediction of the Properties of a Binary Surfactant Mixture of Arlacel‐165 and Myrj‐59 in Aqueous System

Foamability and foam stability, emulsifying power, surface tension, and interfacial tension were investigated for different ratios of binary surfactant system of Arlacel‐165 (glyceryl stearate (and) PEG‐100 stearate) and Myrj‐59 (polyoxyethylene 100 stearate). Among all the ratios tested for their foaming power and foamabilty, the ratios 8:2, 5:5, 4:6, 2:8, and 1:9 of Arlacel‐165 and Myrj‐59 showed the best results. At these ratios, the foaming power and foamability was found to be 100%. The surfactants having foam stability more than 50% can be considered as metastable and those less than 50% are considered as low‐stability foams. In case of surface tension and interfacial tension property measurements, 8:2 and 9:1 showed the best results. At 8:2 and 9:1 of Arlacel‐165 and Myrj‐59, the surface tension was found to be 37.7 dynes/cm and 1.33 dynes/cm respectively at 30°C ambient temperature. Also, 7:3 of this binary mixture was found to exhibit the best emulsifying power among all the ratios tested. At 30°C, the emulsifying property of the binary mixture was 6 hours.     

Comparison of the capillary wave method and pressure tensor route for calculation of interfacial tension in molecular dynamics simulations

We have studied the calculation of surface and interfacial tension for a variety of liquid–vapor and liquid–liquid interfaces using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Because of the inherently small scale of MD systems, large pressure fluctuations can cause imprecise calculations of surface tension using the pressure tensor route. The capillary wave method exhibited improved precision and stability throughout all of the simulated systems in this study. In order to implement this method, the interface was defined by fitting an error function to the density profile. However, full mapping of the interface from coordinate files produced enhanced accuracy. Upon increasing the system size, both methods exhibited higher precision, although the capillary wave method was still more reliable. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Synthesis and Applications of Alkylbenzene Sulfonate Gemini Surfactants

A series of anionic Gemini surfactants with the same structure except for the spacer and side chain length of the alkylbenzene sulfonate were synthesized based on dodecyl benzene and toluene. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The effect of spacer and side chain length on the interfacial tension of Gemini surfactant solution was investigated by comparison of the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the surfactants in aqueous solution using the drop volume method, and the surface tension at the cmc (γcmc). The Gemini surfactant with the best properties was used as emulsifier in emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate, and its foam stability was also determined.
