Synthesis of phosphate-type fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid surfactants and their adsorption onto calcium hydroxyapatite

Five novel phosphate-type hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄CH[OPO₂(OC₆H₅)Na]C_nH_2n+1 (FmPHnPPhNa: m = 4, 6, 8; n = 3, 5), have been synthesized. When compared with sulfate-type hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄CH(OSO₃Na)C_nH_2n+1 (C₆H₄ = p-phenylene), the new hybrid surfactants were found to have comparable abilities to lower the surface tension of water. The critical micelle concentrations of FmPHnPPhNa followed Klevens’ rule and their occupied areas per molecule increased with increasing m and n. Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHAp) pellets modified with FmPH3PPhNa gave high hydro and lipophobic surfaces. The hybrid surfactants are expected to be useful as new dental reagents for oral hygiene.     

Synthesis of a novel type of hybrid fluorocarbon ionic surfactants containing polyoxyethlene chain

A novel type of hybrid ionic surfactants containing oxyethylene chain and fluorocarbon chain in one molecule, n-C₈F₁₇SO₃⁻N⁺(C₂H₅)₃(CH₂CH₂O)_nH (n = 4.0, ∼4.1, 8.7, 13.2, 17.8, 22.3), were prepared. The compounds were achieved from the reaction of polyethylene glycol and perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride in the presence of Et₃N. The evaluation of their behavior at the air-water interface has been studied from measurements of surface tension versus variation of concentration, and the properties of the hybrid surfactants are not consistent with the empirical rule observed from the fluorinated nonionic surfactant.     

Synthesis and surface activities of organic solvent-soluble fluorinated surfactants

A variety of fluorinated surfactants soluble in organic solvent were prepared, including C₈F₁₇SO₂NHC_nH_2n+1 (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10), C₈F₁₇SO₂NHR (R = C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅), C₈F₁₇SO₂N(C_nH_2n+1)₂ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) and C₈F₁₇SO₂NH(CH₂)_nNHO₂SC₈F₁₇ (n = 6, 10). Their surface activities in various organic solvents were determined by surface tension measurement. The results showed that these fluorinated surfactants can reduce the surface tension of both polar and non-polar organic solvents. In general, organic solvents with strong polarity or long alkyl chain are beneficial to increase the surface activity of these polar fluorinated surfactants. By comparing fluorinated surfactants with the same fluorocarbon segment and connecting group, C₈F₁₇SO₂N(C_nH_2n+1)₂ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) showed lower surface activity in organic solvents than C₈F₁₇SO₂NHC_nH_2n+1 (n = 2, 4, 6, 8) with an equal carbon number of the solvophilic group. Through surface tension vs. concentration curves given for N-octyl perfluorooctanesulfonamide in various organic solvents, a break point like the critical micelle concentration of ordinary surfactants in aqueous solutions was observed, and the effect of the different types of organic solvents on adsorption and aggregation behavior was also studied.     

Preparation and characterization of calcium hydroxyapatite and balloon-like calcium phosphate particles from forced hydrolysis of Ca(OH)2–triphosphate solution

Calcium phosphate particles were prepared by aging a solution of dissolved Ca(OH)₂ and sodium triphosphate (sodium tripolyphosphate, Natpp: Na₅P₃O₁₀) at 100–150 °C for 18 h in a Teflon-lined screw-capped Pyrex test tube. Large spherical and/or small aggregated spherical particles were precipitated with an extremely fast rate of reaction under 100 °C. The large spherical particles were amorphous and the small aggregated ones were α-CaNa₂P₂O₇^.4H₂O. The former amorphous ones crystallized to β-Ca₂P₂O₇ after being calcined above 600 °C. Calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂, Hap), with rod-like and ellipsoidal or spherical aggregated shapes, was successfully produced using polyphosphates as a source of orthophosphate ions. Time resolved TEM measurement revealed that the crystallization of Hap particles takes place on the surface of tiny amorphous particles precipitated before aging. The tiny particles played the role of nuclei for Hap crystallization. The aging temperature drastically varied the particle shape under conditions for producing uniform amorphous spherical particles; solid spherical particles were produced with an aging temperature of up to 120 °C, whilst transparent balloon-like hollow spheres were precipitated at 125 °C. Finally, fully transparent balloon-like hollow spheres were produced with mere trace amounts of small rod-like particles after aging the solution above 127 °C. The time resolved TEM observation and ICP-AES measurements revealed that the balloon-like hollow spheres were produced by dissolving the interior of solid spherical particles after reinforcing their shell by the adsorption of unhydrolyzed tpp and/or pyrophosphate (pp) ions, which are the hydrolysis product of tpp. The balloon-like hollow spheres of calcium phosphate may have the potential use as drug delivery vehicles and have biocompatibility advantages.     

Surface properties and aggregate morphology of partially fluorinated carboxylate-type anionic gemini surfactants

Three anionic homologues of a novel partially fluorinated carboxylate-type anionic gemini surfactant, N,N′-di(3-perfluoroalkyl-2-hydroxypropyl)-N,N′-diacetic acid ethylenediamine (2 edda, where n represents the number of carbon atoms in the fluorocarbon chain (4, 6, and 8)) were synthesized. In these present gemini surfactants, the relatively small carboxylic acid moieties form hydrophilic head groups. The surface properties or structures of the aggregates of these surfactants are strongly influenced by the nonflexible fluorocarbons and small head groups; this is because these surfactants have a closely packed molecular structure. The equilibrium surface tension properties of these surfactants were measured at 298.2 K for various fluorocarbon chain lengths. The plot of the logarithm of the critical micelle concentration (cmc) against the fluorocarbon chain lengths for 2 edda (n = 4, 6, and 8) showed a minimum for n = 6. Furthermore, the lowest surface tension of 2 edda at the cmc was 16.4 mN m⁻¹. Such unique behavior has not been observed even in the other fluorinated surfactants. Changes in the shapes and sizes of these surfactant aggregate with concentration were investigated by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM micrographs showed that in an aqueous alkali solution, 2 edda mainly formed aggregates with stringlike (n = 4), cagelike (n = 6), and distorted bilayer structures (n = 8). The morphological changes in the aggregates were affected by the molecular structure composed of nonflexible fluorocarbon chains and flexible hydrocarbon chains.     

Synthesis and properties of gemini-type hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon hybrid surfactants

Gemini-type hybrid surfactants with two fluorocarbon chains connected through a hydrocarbon spacer, F(CF₂)_m(CH₂)₂CH(OSO₃Na)(CH₂)_nCH(OSO₃Na)(CH₂)₂(CF₂)_mF [Fm(Hn)FmOS, m = 4, 6; n = 5, 6, 7, 8)], were synthesized and their surface chemical properties were examined with the aim to have highly functional and highly water-soluble fluorinated surfactants when compared with the conventional fluorinated surfactants. Comparisons of the surface chemical properties of the synthesized gemini-type hybrid surfactants with those of monounit-type hybrid surfactants, F(CF₂)_m(CH₂)₂CH(OSO₃Na)(CH₂)_nH [FmEHnOS, m = 4, 6; n = 3, 5)], revealed that gemination causes a remarkable lowering (about 1/100) in cmc value while it produces little changes in Krafft point (below 0 °C) and surface tension at cmc (γ_cmc).     

Synthesis and solution properties of sulfate-type hybrid surfactants with a benzene ring

Nine novel sulfate-type hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄CH(OSO₃Na)C_nH_2n+1 (FmPHnOS: m=4, 6, 8; n=3, 5, 7; C₆H₄: p-phenylene), with a benzene ring in their molecules were synthesized. Alkanoyl chlorides were allowed to react with iodobenzene in the presence of aluminum chloride to give the corresponding aromatic ketones. The reaction of the ketones with perfluoroalkyl iodides yielded 1-[4-(perfluoroalkyl)phenyl]-1-alkanones as intermediates. The intermediates were allowed to react with methanol in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of sodium borohydride to yield 1-[4-(perfluoroalkyl)phenyl]-1-alkanols. The desired hybrid surfactants were obtained by the reaction of 1-[4-(perfluoroalkyl)phenyl-1-alkanols with sulfur trioxide/pyridine complex in pyridine and by the subsequent neutralization of the products with sodium hydroxide solution. When compared with the conventional hybrid surfactants, C_mF_2m+1C₆H₄COCH(SO₃Na)C_nH_2n+1 (FmHnS: m=4, 6; n=2, 4, 6; C₆H₄: p-phenylene), the new hybrid surfactants thus synthesized were found to have a comparable ability to lower the surface tension of water and a high hydrophilicity. The cmc of FmPHnOS obeyed Kleven’s rule and their occupied areas per molecule increased with increasing m and n with the values between 0.66 and 1.05 nm². The aggregation number for FmPHnOS micelles ranged from 6 to 45 and the hydrodynamic radius of the micelles was in the range of 1.4-3.1 nm.

Synthesis,surface activity,and corrosion inhibition of dentritic quaternary ammonium salt-type tetrameric surfactants

The dentritic quaternary ammonium salt-type tetrameric surfactant (4C₁₂tetraQ) was synthesized, and the molecular structure was confirmed by ¹H NMR and FTIR. The surface activity of 4C₁₂tetraQ was investigated by surface tension, and surface chemical parameters, such as critical micelle concentration (cmc), efficiency (pC₂₀), effectiveness (π_cmc), the surface tension value at cmc (γ_cmc), minimum surface area (A_min), maximum surface excess (Γ_max), and cmc/C₂₀ were obtained from the measurement results. The results show that the 4C₁₂tetraQ surfactant has higher surface activity than the traditional monomeric surfactants (dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, DTAB). The Krafft points were taken as <0°C, indicating that the synthesized tetrameric surfactants had good water solubility. Free energies of micellization and adsorption show that 4C₁₂tetraQ display greater propensity to absorb at the interface than form micelle in the bulk of the aqueous solution, and that the two processes are spontaneous. The measurement results show that 4C₁₂tetraQ has good emulsification power and foam performance. The corrosion efficiency was evaluated with the loss weight method in 1?mol/L HCl solution, and the results show that the 4C₁₂tetraQ surfactant has good corrosion inhibition, and can be considered as a corrosion inhibitor.     

Synthesis and characterization of amino functionalized ladder-like polysilsesquioxanes and their hybrid films with polyimide

Ladder-like polysilsesquioxanes (LPSQs) with different amino contents have been synthesized by controlling of the dosage of Pd/C catalyst. The concentration and activity of amino groups were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Polyimide (PI)/LPSQ hybrid films have been prepared by incorporating of the obtained LPSQs with different amino contents into PI matrix, respectively. The interfacial interactions between PI matrix and LPSQ were studied with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, meanwhile the thermal and mechanical properties of the hybrid films were studied using dynamic mechanical analysis and tensile tests. The results indicate that the functionality of LPSQ has great effects on the interfacial interactions and the properties of hybrid films. With the increase of amino content, both the interfacial interactions and the cross-linking density of hybrids enhanced, which results in the decline of surface silicon concentration, increase of Young’s modulus and drop of elongation at break. Excessive amino content makes the hybrid films brittle and leads to incomplete imidization.     

Magnesium and calcium surfactants Ternary phase diagrams of magnesium and calcium dodecylsulphate with decanol and water

The isothermal ternary phase diagrams for the systems magnesium dodecylsulphate-decanol-water at 40 °C and calcium dodecylsulphate-decanol-water at 50 °C are determined by water deuteron NMR and polarizing microscopic studies. In the magnesium system, three liquid crystalline phases (lamellar and normal and reverse hexagonal) and two isotropic (normal and reverse) solution phases are characterized and their ranges of existence are obtained. The calcium system yields the same liquid crystalline phases, but only the lamellar liquid crystalline phase is investigated in detail. The important observations made are: (i) The lamellar liquid crystalline phase for the magnesium and calcium systems can incorporate, respectively, a maximum of 22.5 and 14.3 mole water per mole surfactant ion against 139 mole water for the corresponding sodium system. (ii) The reverse hexagonal liquid crystalline phase is formed for both the magnesium and calcium systems while no such liquid crystalline phase exists for the corresponding sodium system. (iii) The²H NMR quadrupole splittings obtained in the liquid crystalline phases for C₈SO ₄ ^– and C₁₂SO ₄ ^– surfactant systems with different counterions (Ca²⁺,Mg²⁺,Be²⁺,Na⁺) reveal that surfactant hydration is almost independent of alkyl chain length and counterions.     

Relation between adsorption of some anionic surfactants on barite and solution/air interfaces

The adsorption behaviour of synthesized anionic surfactants with chemical structure RO–Ph–N?N–Ph–X, where R is octyl, dodecyl or cetyl and X is SO₃Na, was analysed. Analysis of the behaviour of the surfactants was made using a modified version of the Frumkin adsorption isotherm. The values of thermodynamic parameters were calculated at the solution/air interface. The relation between adsorption of the surfactants at the solution/air interface and solid/liquid interface was investigated. The surface properties of these synthetic surfactants were studied. The results show that the length of the hydrocarbon chain of these surfactants plays a major role in determining the surface and thermodynamic properties. The results also indicate that there is a good relationship between effectiveness of adsorption of the surfactant and its efficiency as a collector. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Lipophilic counterion effect on aggregation and adsorption behavior of quaternary ammonium surfactants

The obvious different aggregation and adsorption behavior of six newly quaternary ammonium surfactants with different lipophilic counterions has been discoverd by measurements of equilibrium and dynamic surface tension, fluorescence and conductivity. Interestingly, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) and its surface tension γ_CMC decrease with the increasing counterion chain length. However, three methods have confirmed that an exception of CMC increases slightly from C₁₆NC₁ to C₁₆NC₂. According to experimental results, a balanced mechanism between hydrophobicity and electrostatic of counterion is proposed. Besides, the dynamic surface tension results show the diffusion coefficient increases with the increasing counterion length both at a short time (D_t?→?0) and long time (D_t?→?∞), which indicates a faster adsorption process. Unlike the inorganic counterion, the diffusion coefficient decreases with the increase of hydrophobic chain length. This is attributed to the strong electrostatic interactions between counterions and cationic headgroups.     

Synthesis and surface-active property of bis-quaternary ammonium-sodium sulfate Gemini surfactant

N,N-dimethyldodecylamine, hydrochloride and epichlorohydrin (molar ration is 2:1:1) were used to synthesize bis-quaternary ammonium Gemini surfactant with a hydroxyl in its spacer group by the one-pot method. This hydroxyl was sulfonated by chlorosulfonic acid and then neutralized to bis-quaternary ammonium-sodium sulfate zwitterionic Gemini surfactant. The yield of the final product was 78%, and the melting point was 231–233°C. Its structure was characterized by IR, ¹H-NMR, MS, and elemental analyses. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) and surface tension of the novel zwitterionic Gemini surfactant in aqueous solution at 15°C are 7.2×10⁻⁵ mol/L and 34.5 mN/m, respectively. __________ Translated from Journal of Wuhan University (Natural Science Edision), 2005, 51(6) (in Chinese)     

Synthesis and characterization of hybrid organic/inorganic nanotubes of the imogolite type and their behaviour towards methane adsorption

Imogolite-like nanotubes have been synthesised in which SiCH(3) groups have been introduced in place of the SiOH groups that naturally occur at the inner surface of imogolite, an alumino-silicate with formula (OH)(3)Al(2)O(3)SiOH, forming nanotubes with inner and outer diameter of 1.0 and 2.0 nm, respectively. The new nanotubular material, composition (OH)(3)Al(2)O(3)SiCH(3), has both larger pores and higher specific surface area than unmodified imogolite: it forms as hollow cylinders 3.0 nm wide and several microns long, with a specific surface area of ca. 800 m(2) g(-1) and intriguing surface properties, due to hydrophobic groups inside the nanotubes and hydrophilic Al(OH)Al groups at their outer surface. Adsorption of methane at 30 °C has been studied in the pressure range between 5 and 35 bar on both the new material and unmodified imogolite: it resulted that the new material adsorption capacity is about 2.5 times larger than that of imogolite, in agreement with both its larger pore volume and the presence of a methylated surface. On account of these properties and of its novelty, the studied material has several potential technical applications, e.g. in the fields of gas chromatography and gas separation.     

Competitive adsorption of fibrinogen and albumin onto polymer microspheres having hydrophilic/hydrophobic heterogeneous surface structures

The competitive adsorption of bovine fibrinogen (BFb) and bovine serum albumin onto polymer microspheres from the mixture solution was examined under various protein-to-microsphere ratios using various homopolymer microspheres and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)/polystyrene composite microspheres having heterogeneous surface structures consisting of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. They were produced by emulsifier-free (seeded) emulsion polymerizations. The selective adsorption of BFb was not observed for the homopolymer microspheres, but observed for the composite polymer microspheres having optimum compositions.Part CXXXVIII on the series Studies on Suspension and Emulsion
