采用电导法研究了不同温度下含酯基Gemini表面活性剂在纯水和在质量分数为10%的甲醇-水(MAWR),乙二醇-水(EG-WR),丙三醇-水(GL-WR)四种体系中的集聚行为和胶束热力学;聚集行为参数包括临界胶束浓度(cmc)和抗衡离子的解离程度(α)以及胶束的热力学参数,包括标准吉布斯自由能(ΔG_m~o)、吉布斯迁移自由能(ΔG_(trans)~o)、吉布斯烷基链胶束化自由能(ΔG_(tail)~o)、标准焓变(ΔH_m~o)和标准熵变(ΔS_m~o),均被计算和讨论。研究表明在所有的研究体系中,cmc值随着疏水链的增加而减小,随着加入的醇结构中羟基数目的增加而增大,随温度的升高先变小,后变大呈U字形;胶束化过程都是自发进行的,并且在293.15 K下,胶束化过程是吸热的,在293.15 K上,胶束化过程是放热的;通过稳态荧光光谱法研究了表面活性剂在纯水、有机醇-水混合溶液中的微极性,结果表明,在相同溶剂中,随着烷基链长度的增加,溶液微环境的疏水性越强;对于相同的Gemini表面活性剂,随着加入含羟基数目越多的醇,其微环境的疏水性越强。并研究了Gemini表面活性剂在混合体系中形成胶束过程的焓-熵补偿曲线。     

环境因素对正负表面活性剂体系相行为的影响

在1:1正负离子表面活性剂混合体系(十二烷基硫酸钠/辛基三甲基溴化铵 SDS-C8NM3Br; 十二烷基硫酸钠/十二烷基三甲基溴化铵,SDS-C12NM3Br)中加入短链脂肪醇 (乙醇,正丙醇,正丁醇),正负离子表面活性剂沉淀溶解,出现表面活性剂双水相.上相有液晶存在,下相有囊泡自发形成.折光率数据和电镜结果表明:上相为表面活性剂富集相,下相表面活性剂浓度较低.混合体系中,出现表面活性剂双水相所需短链脂肪醇的体积百分数,随短链脂肪醇的链长增加而降低.温度升高,出现表面活性剂双水相所需短链脂肪醇的体积百分数降低.对SDS/C8NM3Br/H2O体系的研究结果表明:超声处理,可使混合体系中沉淀向囊泡转化,与短链脂肪醇的加入后的作用类似.     

辛酸钠-醇-水溶液体系的表面化学性质研究

辛酸钠水溶液中加入不同种类醇后,使溶液最低表面张力及临界胶束浓度降低,在所研究醇中,最有效提高表面活性的是正己醇,即较长碳链醇更易参加胶团形成和在表面吸附,另外实验还发现加入醇引起胶束解离度增加,这是由于醇碳氢链可插入形成胶束的表面活性剂分子碳氢链中使胶团表面电荷密度降低,使反离子易于解离。     

两相催化体系中双子表面活性剂对1-十二烯氢甲酰化反应的助催化作用

合成了几种具有刚性连接基团的双子表面活性剂,研究了它们在Rh-TPPTS体系中催化长链烯烃氢甲酰化反应中的助催化作用.结果表明,在水/有机两相催化体系中,新型双子表面活性剂的助催化作用比单链表面活性剂CTAB更好,在较低的表面活性剂浓度下能得到较高的反应转化率.这归因于此类表面活性剂有较低的cmc,降低界面张力的能力和对1-十二烯的增溶能力比CTAB更强.     

低碳醇对季铵盐二聚表面活性剂C_(12)-2-C_(12)·2Br胶团化行为的影响

随着丙、丁、戊、已醇的加入，与季铵盐二聚表面活性剂C_(12)-2-C_(12)· 2Br组成了混合胶团，醇分子以烷烃链插入胶团中，羟基则位于胶团栅栏层处。这 减弱了表面活性剂离子头基间的静电排斥力，使临界胶团浓度(cmc)降低，同时使 胶团表面反离子解离度增大。随着醇分子的烷烃链增长，这种影响更为显著。     

碳氟表面活性剂与碳氢表面活性剂混合水溶液的表面吸附和胶团形成——Ⅱ.全氟辛酸钠-十烷基硫酸钠体系

测定了不同摩尔比的全氟辛酸钠(7CFNa)-十烷基硫酸钠(C_(10)SNa)混合水溶液(加NaCl,恒定离子强度μ=0.1m)的表面张力和界面张力(正庚烷-水溶液界面张力)。由表(界)面张力-浓度关系求出混合体系的表(界)面吸附和临界胶团浓度(cmc)。结果表明:(1)7CFNa和C_(10)SNa在μ=0.1m的溶液中,cmc相近,两者表面活性相近;但7CFNa降低水表面张力的能力较强,在cmc时的表面张力可低达～23mNm~(-1)。因此,在混合溶液的表面上,7CFNa的表面活性较高,优先吸附于表面。对于各种摩尔比的混合溶液,7CF~-在表面层中的比例皆大于在溶液内部的比例。(2)正庚烷-水溶液界面上的吸附与表面吸附截然不同。7CF~-在界面吸附层中的比例低于溶液内部,表明其吸附能力比C_(10)S~-为弱。这是由于界面一边的正庚烷与C_(10)SNa碳氢链之间的作用大于与7CFNa碳氟链之间的作用。亦即碳氟链与碳氢链“互憎”作用在界面上的表现。(3)在不同摩尔比的混合溶液中,各组分的cmc接近一恒值,进一步说明混合溶液中存在碳氟链与碳氢链间的互憎作用,以致两种表面活性剂在混合溶液中(有过量无机盐时)基本上各自形成胶团。     

新型阴离子Gemini表面活性剂与非离子表面活性剂C10E6混合溶液的胶团化的研究

研究了烷基苯磺酸盐Gemini表面活性剂Ia与非离子表面活性剂C10E6溶液混合胶团中分子间的相互作用. 通过表面张力法测定了Ia 和C10E6不同比例不同温度下的临界胶束浓度(cmc). 结果表明, 两种表面活性剂以任何比例复配的cmc比单一表面活性剂的cmc都低, 表现出良好的协同效应. 传统型非离子表面活性剂C10E6、Gemini表面活性剂Ia及混合物的cmc都随着温度升高而降低. 而且, 任何配比的混合胶团中两种表面活性剂分子间的相互作用参数β都是负值, 这说明两种表面活性剂在混合胶团中产生了相互吸引的作用. 混合表面活性剂体系的胶团聚集数比单一Ia的大, 但比单一C10E6的小. 向Gemini表面活性剂Ia胶束中加入非离子表面活性剂C10E6会使胶束的微观极性变小.     

Gemini表面活性剂联接基团对合成硅基介孔材料结构的影响

考察了Gemini表面活性剂不同联接基团对介孔结构的影响, 通过改变联接基团碳链的长度和在联接基团中加入苯基和羟基改变链的柔性和亲水性, 可改变表面活性剂在两相界面的头基面积和电荷分布, 形成不同的表面活性剂溶液结构, 并通过自组装过程控制生成不同介孔材料的孔结构. 当联接基团链长为4~8个碳时, 得到六方相孔道结构, 而当碳链长度增加为10~12个碳时, 形成立方相孔道结构, 其中以GEM16-6-16为模板, 形成了高度有序的MCM-41, 以GEM16-12-16为模板, 则得到高度有序的MCM-48. GEM16-3(OH)-16可合成出层状结构, 但有序性较低. GEM16-(1-Ar-1)-16的cmc较低, 在水溶液中溶解度极低, 当加入共溶剂乙醇时, 得到了空心球结构.     

乙醇/水混合溶剂中Gemini表面活性剂的表面性质

通过对Gemini表面活性剂12-s-12 (Et)(s=4, 6, 8, 10, 12)体系在乙醇/水混合溶剂中的表面张力曲线的测定, 对该体系的表面性质进行了研究. 发现随乙醇/水比例变化, Gemini各种表面化学性质, 如临界胶束浓度(cmc)、表面张力(γcmc)、饱和吸附量(Γmax)和最小分子占有面积(Amin)等的变化规律. 拓展了Gemini表面活性剂在混合溶剂中表面吸附的研究.     

全氟丁基磺酸钠与辛基三乙基溴化铵的相互作用

通过测定辛基三乙基溴化铵(C8H17N(CH2CH3)3Br,C8NE)与全氟丁基磺酸钠(C4F9SO3Na,C4F)组成的不同混合比的碳氢-碳氟正负离子表面活性剂混合体系的表面张力,得到不同摩尔比时C8NEC4F体系的临界胶束浓度(cmc)、cmc处的表面张力(γcmc)、总饱和吸附量、不同表面张力时表面吸附层的组成,利用Gibbs-Duhem方程求得cmc处的胶团组成。 采用规则溶液理论计算了胶团中分子间相互作用参数(βm),并求得cmc以上的胶团组成。 实验表明,C8NEC4F复配体系的cmc远远小于单体系的cmc,这也体现在该体系的βm负值很大,胶团内分子相互作用很强。 但是C4F与C8NE复配后γcmc较C4F单体系的变化幅度不是特别大(γcmc降低2~4 mN/m),这是由于C8NEC4F碳链的不对称性导致部分C8NE的碳链在溶液表面弯曲而覆盖了C4F端基CF3基团。 表面吸附层中氟表面活性剂相对于本体溶液是富集的,即使对于C8NE大大过量的体系,表面吸附层组成也在等摩尔附近;对于C4F过量的体系,C4F在表面吸附层中的比例比溶液中的略高。 随着表面张力的降低,表面吸附层的组成相对更偏向于氟表面活性剂。 cmc处的胶团组成随着体系中C4F含量的增大偏向于形成显著富含C4F的胶团,对于C8NE大大过量的体系,胶团组成接近等摩尔。 cmc之后的胶团组成接近等摩尔,主要归因于此时静电相互作用占主导,这和溶液配制过程中发现复配体系超过cmc一定浓度后就易生成沉淀的现象是相符的。     

Micellization and solubilization of phospholipids by surfactants

Phospholipids comprise the major component that defines biological membranes. Yet these amphiphilic molecules exist as liquid crystals when they are dispersed in water. Surfactants which form micelles in aqueous solution are quite useful in solubilizing the phospholipids by converting them into mixed micelles. Phospholipids containing short-chain fatty acids have also been chemically synthesized and these form micelles themselves without added surfactants. Below their cmc, monomers of these synthetic phospholipids can be co-micellized with surfactants. The solubilization of natural phospholipids and the micellization of synthetic phospholipids as well as their co-micellization by surfactants will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on nonionic surfactants where the formation of micelles and mixed micelles with phospholipids has been well studied.     

A Viscometric and Conductometric Investigation of the Micellar and Solution Properties of Two-Headed Surfactant Systems, the Disodium 4-Alkyl-3-sulfonatosuccinates

A family of two-headed surfactants, the disodium 4-alkyl-3-sulfonatosuccinates, has been prepared by reacting maleic anhydride with the appropriate chain-length alcohol and subsequent addition of sodium bisulfite to the corresponding monoester. The properties of the micelles formed by these compounds in aqueous solution (aggregation numbers, degrees of counterion binding, and the cmc values) have been investigated as a function of temperature and surfactant chain length using viscosity, density, and conductance measurements. The critical micelle concentrations (cmc's) and the aggregation numbers appear to indicate that, in agreement with the earlier literature on other two-headed surfactants systems, these amphiphiles have higher cmc and lower aggregation numbers when compared to single-headed surfactants of comparable chain length. In addition, viscosity B coefficients and the thermodynamic parameters of activation of viscous flow have been determined. These results are interpreted in terms of the structure-making or -breaking properties of the surfactant amphiphiles below the cmc region. Finally, the thermodynamic properties of micelle formation have been estimated from the dependence of the cmc on the absolute temperature according to the charged pseudo-phase separation model of micelle formation. All these results are discussed in terms of how the addition of the second charged surfactant headgroup alters the micellar and solution properties of two-headed surfactants vs. their single-headed counterparts.     

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.     

Fluorescence spectroscopy of fulvic acids’ interaction with surfactants

Fluorescence spectra of two fulvic acid (FA) samples, FA0 from underground water and FA1 from forest soil, were recorded in various surfactant solutions. Alkyltrimethylammonium ions with different alkyl chain lengths induced a decrease in the fluorescence intensity for both FAs at concentrations below the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and an enhancement above the cmc. The intensity minimum thus obtained at the cmc was deeper for surfactants with longer alkyl chains. This effect was attributable to the formation of insoluble FA–surfactant complexes below the cmc and to the solubilization of the complex into micelles above the cmc. Dodecylpyridinium chloride caused a monotonic decrease in the FA fluorescence even far above the cmc. This was attributable to the quenching of FA fluorescence by the positioning of the pyridinium head group near the FA fluorophore. Anionic and nonionic surfactants showed little to no effect on the FA fluorescence.     

New anionic gemini surfactant based on EDTA accessible by convenient synthesis

A straightforward, broadly applicable synthetic strategy to anionic dimeric (“gemini”) surfactants is demonstrated, reacting ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) dianhydride with fatty amines. Characteristic surfactant properties in water are examined for the model compound based on N-methyldodecylamine. The new dimeric surfactant exhibits a low value for the critical micellization concentration (cmc < 10⁻⁴ mM), low surface tension at the cmc, and an enhanced solubilization capacity in comparison with a monomeric reference surfactant, sodium laurate. In particular, solutions of the gemini surfactant are remarkably stable in hard water, compared to conventional carboxylate surfactants.     

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.
