Morphology and viscoelasticity of bilayer aqueous colloids of low-molecular and macromolecular amphiphiles

Aqueous colloids of didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DMA), allylbis[2-(dodecanoyloxycarbonyl)ethyl]methylammonium bromide (ADM) and polymer of ADM (PADM) were employed for morphological and rheological studies.The polymerization was carried out by irradiation of UV-light for the monomeric colloid. Weight average molecular weight of the polymer is about 16.3×10⁴.Diameters of vesicles at critical micelle (aggregate) concentration were 8 10 nm in the aqueous colloids of DMA, ADM and PADM. Various bilayer textures which were dependent upon the concentration and the temperature could be found in these amphiphiles. In particular, the bilayer textures were full in variety in the PADM system.Rheological properties of the aqueous colloids of these amphiphiles depended strongly upon the bilayer textures.     

Effect of the structures of ionic liquids and alkylbenzene-derived amphiphiles on the inhibition of asphaltene precipitation from CO2-injected reservoir oils

The inhibition of asphaltene precipitation from high-pressure, CO(2)-injected reservoir oils by ionic and nonionic amphiphiles, the ionic liquids based on p-alkylpyridinium ([C(n)()py](+)) and N-butylisoquinolinium ([C(4)iql](+)) cations, and the alkylbenzene-derived amphiphiles p-alkylphenol (C(n)()phol), p-alkylbenzenesulfonic acid (C(n)()bsa), and sodium p-alkylbenzenesulfonate (C(n)()bsNa) was investigated for the first time. The influences of the structures of these compounds and the effect of the combination of their cations and anions were studied. The results show that the inhibition abilities of the alkylbenzene-derived amphiphiles first increase when n = 2-8 and then remain almost constant when n >/=8 and that the effectiveness follows the order C(n)()phol < C(n)()bsa approximately C(n)()bsNa. The inverse trend is observed for the ionic liquids [C(n)()py][Cl]; that is, their inhibition abilities decrease as n increases from 4 to 8 to 12. [C(4)iql][Cl] is more effective than [C(4)py][Cl], but [C(n)()py][BF(4)] and [C(n)()py][PF(6)] have almost no effect on the stabilization of asphaltenes. It was found that the effectiveness of an alkylbenzene-derived amphiphile on the inhibition of asphaltene precipitation from reservoir oils relies on its ability to form a stable steric-stabilization layer around asphaltenes, which is controlled by the polarity of its headgroup and the length of its alkyl tail. The novel mechanism of inhibiting asphaltene precipitation using the ionic liquids [C(n)()py] ([Cl], [BF(4)], and [PF(6)]) and [C(4)iql][Cl] was proposed. The mechanism states that the ionic liquids can effectively prevent asphaltene precipitation from the reservoir oils by breaking the asphaltene associations, which are due to the local nonneutrality of the charge densities of the cation and the anion. The ionic liquids that are based on an anion with high charge density, in connection with cations with sufficiently low charge densities, can effectively inhibit asphaltene precipitation from the reservoir oils. This mechanism is also important for studying the thermodynamic properties and phase behavior of the ionic liquids.     

Design and interfacial behavior of two series of gemini amphiphiles with different charge positions based on imidazole moiety

Two series of gemini amphiphiles based on 2-heptadecylimidazole were designed. One is exo-BisImC17Cn (n=2, 4, 6, 8, 10), in which the positive charges are positioned on the outsides of the headgroups. The other is endo-BisImC17Cn (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10), whose positive charges are localized on the insides of the headgroups. The interfacial behavior at the air/water interface of these gemini amphiphiles was investigated in relation to the effect of the charge position and the spacer length. Monolayers of exo-BisImC17Cn show small differences in interfacial behavior when spread on water and aqueous Na2SO4 subphases. In contrast, significant distinctions were observed for molecules of endo-BisImC17Cn. The limiting areas of endo-BisImC17Cn monolayers on water are obviously larger than those on the aqueous Na2SO4 solution. While the limiting areas of the exo-BisImC17Cn monolayers increased monotonically with the spacer length, those of the endo-BisImC17C10 monolayer on Na2SO4 solution is obviously smaller than those of endo-BisImC17C6 and endo-BisImC17C8 monolayers, suggesting the wicket conformation of the alkyl chain in endo-BisImC17C10. On the other hand, both of the gemini amphiphiles could form complex monolayers with negatively charged TPPS at the air/water interface. The transferred complex multilayer films of the gemini amphiphiles/TPPS showed supramolecular chirality, although both of the gemini amphiphiles and TPPS are achiral. The exciton couplet was observed for the endo-BisImC17Cn/TPPS films, while no couplet was detected for the exo-BisImC17Cn/TPPS films. A reasonable comparison between the two series of geminis in relation to the effect of charge positions and the spacer lengths on the interfacial behavior and the supramolecular chirality was performed.     

Supramolecular assemblies of a new series of gemini-type schiff base amphiphiles at the air/water interface: in situ coordination, interfacial nanoarchitectures, and spacer effect

Great interest has been devoted to the gemini amphiphiles because of their unique properties. In this article, we report some interesting properties of the interfacial films formed by a series of newly designed gemini amphiphiles containing the Schiff base moiety. This novel series of gemini amphiphiles with their Schiff base headgroups linked by a hydrophobic alkyl spacer (BisSBC18Cn, n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) could be spread to form stable monolayers and coordinated with Cu(Ac)(2) in situ in the monolayer. The alkyl spacer in the amphiphiles has a great effect on the regulation of the properties of the Langmuir monolayers. A maximum limiting molecular area was observed for the monolayers of the gemini amphiphile with the spacer length of hexa- or octamethylene groups. Both the monolayers on water and on the aqueous Cu(Ac)(2) subphase were transferred onto solid substrates, and different morphologies were observed for films with different spacers. Nanonail and tapelike morphologies were observed for amphiphile films with shorter spacers (n = 2 and 4) on the water surface. Wormlike morphologies were observed for gemini films with longer spacers of C(8) and C(10) when coordinated with Cu(Ac)(2). An interdigitated layer structure was supposed to form in the multilayer films transferred from water or the aqueous Cu(Ac)(2) subphase.     

Regulation of aggregation and morphology of cyanine dyes on monolayers via gemini amphiphiles

The aggregation of dyes is of considerable importance in relating to their functions and applications. In this paper, we have investigated the regulation on the aggregation and morphology of two cyanine dyes, 3,3'-disulfopropyl-4,5,4',5'-dibenzo-9-methylthiacarbocyanine triethylammonium salt (MTC) and 3,3'-disulfopropyl-4,5,4',5'-dibenzo-9-phenylthiacarbocyanine triethylammonium salt (PTC), using a series of gemini amphiphiles (bis(2'-heptadecyl-3'-ethylimidazolium)-1,n-alkane dibromide, abbreviated as Gn, n=2, 4, 6, 8, 10). It has been found that both of the dyes could be adsorbed onto the monolayers of the gemini amphiphiles through the electrostatic and pi-pi interaction and stacked into H- or J-aggregate. The spacer of the gemini amphiphile showed good control over the aggregation of MTC: H-aggregate was favored when gemini amphiphiles with short spacer were applied, while J-aggregation was preferred in the case of longer spacer. Only J-aggregate was observed for PTC on gemini monolayer, regardless of the structure of the gemini amphiphiles. Interesting morphologies were observed for all the gemini/dye complex monolayers. Network structure and nanofibers were formed for the gemini/MTC films transferred below the plateau surface pressure and close to the collapse pressure, respectively. The ability of the complex monolayers to form nanofibers strongly depended on the component amphiphiles, G2>G4>G6, and no nanofibers were observed for G8/MTC and G10/MTC after the collapse. Only squared domains were observed for gemini/PTC monolayers. When both G2 and G10 were mixed, an individual control of the gemini amphiphiles over the aggregation of MTC in the complex monolayers was observed. The relationship among the spacer, dye structure, and aggregation was revealed.     

Synthesis and characterization of hexa-tailed cryptand based amphiphiles: spontaneous formation of giant vesicular microcapsule with efficient and long-term dye encapsulation

A cryptand with six secondary amino groups has been derivatized by reacting with acid chlorides of different chain lengths (C(7), C(10) and C(18)) to get three cryptand based hexa-tailed neutral amphiphiles (L(1)-L(3)). The cavity of the cryptand head group accommodates two Cu(II) ion giving another set of three amphiphiles. These amphiphiles and its copper complexes can aggregate spontaneously as giant vesicular microcapsules in 10% ethanolic water medium. In all cases vesicles formed are mostly unilamellar in nature. Vesicular microcapsules prepared from L(1)-L(3) can encapsulate hydrophilic dye 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (CF). Stability of microcapsules, CF encapsulation efficiencies and release rates were dependent on the hydrophobic chain length of the amphiphiles. Results show the permeability of the L(2) and L(3) bilayer is lower than that of phosphatidylcholine vesicles and the loading capacity is approximately 3 times greater. Microcapsules have been characterized by optical microscopy, freeze fracture scanning electron microscopy and confocal fluorescence microscopy.     

Cleavable cationic antibacterial amphiphiles: synthesis, mechanism of action, and cytotoxicities

The development of novel antimicrobial agents having high selectivity toward bacterial cells over mammalian cells is urgently required to curb the widespread emergence of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. Toward this end, we have developed a set of cationic dimeric amphiphiles (bearing cleavable amide linkages between the headgroup and the hydrocarbon tail with different methylene spacers) that showed high antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) and low cytotoxicity. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) were found to be very low for the dimeric amphiphiles and were lower or comparable to the monomeric counterpart. In the case of dimeric amphiphiles, MIC was found to decrease with the increase in the spacer chain length (n = 2 to 6) and again to increase at higher spacer length (n > 6). It was found that the compound with six methylene spacers was the most active among all of the amphiphiles (MICs = 10-13 μM). By fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), it was revealed that these cationic amphiphiles interact with the negatively charged bacterial cell membrane and disrupt the membrane integrity, thus killing the bacteria. All of the cationic amphiphiles showed low hemolytic activity (HC(50)) and high selectivity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The most active amphiphile (n = 6) had a 10-13-fold higher HC(50) than did the MIC. Also, this amphiphile did not show any cytotoxicity against mammalian cells (HeLa cells) even at a concentration above the MIC (20 μM). The critical micellar concentration (CMC) values of gemini surfactants were found to be very low (CMC = 0.30-0.11 mM) and were 10-27 times smaller than the corresponding monomeric analogue (CMC = 2.9 mM). Chemical hydrolysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) proved that these amphiphiles are quite stable under both acidic and thermal conditions. Collectively, these properties make the newly synthesized amphiphiles potentially superior disinfectants and antiseptics for various biomedical and biotechnological applications.     

Chemistry of Synthetic Bilayer Membranes

The preparation of bilayer membranes from synthetic dialkyl amphiphiles is described. According to the electron microscopic observation, the bilayer structure similar to that of biomembranes is formed spontaneously when dialkyldimethyl-ammonium bromides with C₁₀-C₂₀ alkyl groups are dispersed in water by sonication. The line broadening in the NMR spectrum strongly suggests that these synthetic bilayers constitute liquid crystalline or solid phases. The hydrophilic head group may be sulfonium and modified ammonium moieties. The bilayer assembly is also formed from dialkyl amphiphiles with anionic head groups: (phosphate, sulfonate, and carboxylate), from nonionic dialkyl amphiphiles (oligomeric ethylene oxide) moiety) and from zwitterionic dialkyl amphiphiles. These bilayers incorporate equimolar cholesterol fairly readily. The redistribution of catalyst (a cholesterol derivative) and substrate (p-nitrophenyl palmitate) molecules is very slow when they are tightly bound to the aggregate. The intravesicle reaction is much faster than the intervesicle counterpart in the case of the di-dodecyldimethylammonium bromide vesicle.
