Influence of Oleic Acid and Electrolyte on the Interfacial Dilational Properties of Surfactant/Polymer Systems at the Decane-Water Interface

The dilational properties of partly hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) and 4,5-diheptyl-2-propylbenzene sulfonate (377) mixed systems in the absence or presence of electrolyte or oleic acid at the oil-water interface have been described by means of the oscillating barriers method and the interfacial tension relaxation method. The polymer plays different roles in influencing the nature of polymer-surfactant adsorbed layers at different surfactant concentrations. At low surfactant concentration, the addition of polymer perhaps weakens the “entanglement” of long alkyl chains, which decreases strikingly the dilational modulus of the adsorbed layer. At high surfactant concentration, the addition of the polymer increases the dilational modulus due to the hydrophobic interactions between polymer and surfactant molecules. On the case of adding electrolyte, the frequency dependence of dilational modulus increases due to the enhancement of exchange process of surfactant molecules and bivalent cation has more obvious effect than Na ion. Oleic acid plays dual roles in controlling interfacial dilational properties of mixed adsorption films: a small quantity of oleic acid increases the dilational modulus by forming densely packed mixed adsorption layer with surfactant molecules, while the superfluous addition of oleic acid could decrease the dilational modulus mainly due to the weakening of the “entanglement” among long alkyl chains in surfactant molecules.     

Effect of Electrolyte on the Interfacial Dilational Properties of Sodium 4,5-Diheptyl-2-propylbenzene Sulfonate at the Oil–Water Interface

The dilational viscoelastic properties of 4,5-diheptyl-2-propylbenzene sulfonate (377) in the presence or absence of electrolyte were investigated by means of two methods: the interfacial tension response to sinusoidal area variations and the relaxation of an applied stress. The higher dilational modulus of 377 than ordinary surfactant indicates that the strength against perturbation of interfacial layer of the former is greater. This may due to the two long and flexible branched alkyl chains, which are easily cross-linked and entangled. Moreover, the results reveal that the added electrolyte results in screening of electrostatic interactions between the ionized groups, which decreased the interfacial dilational modulus.     

Interfacial Dilational Properties of Hydrophobically Modified Partly Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide and Anionic Surfactants at the Water-Decane Interface

The dilational viscoelastic properties of hydrophobically modified partly hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and anionic surfactants (4,5-diheptyl-2-propylbenzene sulfonate and gemini surfactant C₁₂COONa-p-C₉SO₃Na) in the absence or presence of electrolyte have been investigated at the decane–water interface by means of longitudinal method and the interfacial tension relaxation method. Experimental results show that at low surfactant concentration, the increase of the dilational modulus by the addition of surfactant molecules at low frequency might be explained by the mix-adsorption of the polymer chains and surfactant molecules. At the same time, polymer chain could sharply decrease the dilational modulus of surfactant film mainly due to the weakening of the strong interactions among long alkyl chains in surfactant molecules. At high surfactant concentration, the addition of surfactant molecules can decrease the dilational modulus of polymer solution due to the fast process involving in the exchange of surfactant molecules between the interface and the mixed complex formed by surfactant molecules and hydrophobic micro-domains. The added electrolyte, which results in screening of electrostatic interactions between the ionized groups, generally increases the frequency dependence of the interfacial dilational modulus. The data obtained on the relaxation processes via interfacial tension relaxation measurements can explain the results from oscillating barriers measurements very well.

Effect of Molecular Weight on the Interfacial Dilational Viscoelasticity of Anionic Polyelectrolyte/Surfactant Systems

In this article, the effect of molecular weight on the interfacial tension and interfacial dilational viscoelasticity of polystyrene sulfonate/surfactant adsorption films at the water-octane interface have been studied by spinning drop method and oscillating barriers method respectively. The experimental results show that different interfacial behaviors can be observed in different type of polyelectrolyte/surfactant systems. PSS/cationic surfactant CTAB systems show the classical behavior of oppositely charged polyelectrolyte/surfactant systems and can be well explained by electrostatic interaction. Molecular weight of PSS plays a crucial role in the nature of adsorption film. The complex formed by CTAB and higher molecular weight PSS, which has larger dimension and stronger interaction, results in higher dilational modulus at lower surfactant bulk concentration. In the case of PSS/anionic surfactant SDS systems, the co-adsorption of PSS at interface through hydrophobic interaction with alkyl chain of SDS leads to the increase of interfacial tension and the decrease of dilational modulus at lower surfactant bulk concentration. For PSS/nonionic surfactant T × 100 systems, PSS may form a sublayer contiguous to the aqueous phase, which has little effect on interfacial tension but slightly decreases dilational modulus.     

Effect of Alkyl Chain Length on the Interfacial Dilational Properties of Hydroxy-Substituted Alkyl Benzenesulfonates

Dilational rheological behaviors of adsorption layers of three surfactants, sodium 2-hydroxy-3,5-dioctyl benzene sulfonate (C₈C₈), sodium 2-hydroxy-3-octyl-5-decyl benzene sulfonate (C₈C₁₀), and sodium 2-hydroxy-3-octyl-5-dodecylbenzenesulfonate (C₈C₁₂) formed at air–water and decane–water interfaces, have been investigated as a function of concentration and frequency (0.002–0.1 Hz) by the oscillating bubble/drop method. The experimental results show that the dilational moduli of hydroxy-substituted alkyl benzenesulfonates are obviously higher than those of the common surfactants, because the interfacial interactions between alkyl chains are improved drastically by the unique arrangement of C₈C₈ molecules at the interface. However, the moduli at the decane–water interface are much lower than those at the surfaces because decane molecules will insert into the surfactant molecules adsorbed at the interface and destroy the interactions between alkyl chains. With an increase in the number of carbon atom of 5-alkyl, the surface dilational modulus decreases because the orientation of the surfactant molecules at the surface varies from parallel to tilt. On the other hand, the diffusion-exchange process dominates the interfacial behavior and the interfacial modulus improves with the increase in the length of the alkyl chain.

Effect of Glyphosate Isopropylamine on the Surface Tension and Surface Dilational Rheology Properties of Polyoxyethylene Tallow Amine Surfactant

In order to develop the substitutes for polyoxyethylene tallow amine (POEA), the understanding the interaction of glyphosate isopropylamine and POEA is essential. The surface behaviors of POEA and POEA in the presence of 1 wt% glyphosate isopropylamine have been investigated at the air-water interface by the drop shape analysis method. The influences of surface tension, dilational frequency, and bulk concentration on the surface properties were expounded. The experiment results show that the adsorption films of POEA behave elastic in nature at low bulk concentration. With increasing in bulk concentration, the dilational modulus, dilational elasticity, and dilational viscosity pass through a maximum value, the phase angle increase monotonically. These phenomena can be attributed to the diffusion-exchange process between the bulk and the interface. The addition of 1 wt% glyphosate isopropylamine significantly influences on the POEA surface tension and dilational properties. The dilational modulus, dilational elasticity, and dilational viscosity obvious decrease in general, and the values of phase angle significant change after the addition of 1 wt% glyphosate isopropylamine. Glyphosate isopropylamine and POEA form a new complex in the solution and the surface activity and surface dilational properties of complex is different from POEA.

Dilational Rheology at Air/Water Interface and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Research of Hydroxyl Sulfobetaine Surfactant

Hydroxyl sulfobetaines with hexadecyl-, octadecyl-hydrophobic chain and an industrial product hydroxyl sulfobetaine were synthesized from analytical-grade and industrial-grade tertiary amine, respectively. The dilational properties and surface tension of the three surfactants at the water-air interface were investigated by drop shape analysis and ring method. The influences of oscillating frequency and bulk concentration on dilational properties were explored. The experimental results show that the dilational module of octadecyl-hydroxyl sulfobetaine was higher than hexadecyl hydroxyl sulfobetaine and the dilational elastic component of the three surfactants were higher than dilational viscous component. Furthermore, the dilational elastic component of mixed surfactant system shows two maxima in a lower concentration than that of single surfactant system. As a result, the surface tension of mixed surfactant system reaches to minimum value in a lower concentration compared with single surfactant system. The simulation results show that the hydrophobic chains in the mixed betaine solution were more curled than in single-component betaine solution ascribed to stronger interaction among different hydrophobic chains, resulting to a more compact interfacial film.     

十二烷基硫酸钠对两性咪唑类离子液体表面活性剂1-磺丙基-3-十二烷基咪唑内盐界面聚集行为的影响

利用界面扩张流变技术,研究了两性咪唑类离子液体表面活性剂1-磺丙基-3-十二烷基咪唑内盐(C₁₂imSP)的界面聚集行为,探讨传统表面活性剂十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)对C₁₂imSP界面聚集行为的影响机制。 结果表明,少量SDS的加入可以填补界面上疏松的C₁₂imSP分子间的空位,界面上形成表面活性剂混合吸附膜,界面张力显著降低;提高SDS的浓度,其分子从体相向界面层的扩散交换占优势,界面层分子逐渐达到饱和吸附,此后体系中有混合胶束形成。 体相胶束中富集的SDS分子对C₁₂imSP分子的“收纳”作用及进一步的“挽留”作用,加之C₁₂imSP分子本身相对较大的空间位阻效应导致界面上的C₁₂imSP分子一旦通过扩散作用被交换至体相,其很难再回复到表面层,即界面膜以SDS分子为主。 通过调节体系中SDS的含量,可以实现对混合体系SDS/C₁₂imSP/NaCl(0.1 mol/L)界面聚集行为的调控,进而实现对界面膜性质的调控。

表面波技术研究TBP对C12E8表面流变性质的影响

The influence of antifoaming agent TBP on the surface adsorption and on the surface rheological properties of foaming agent C12E8 is investigated by the damped longitudinal wave method, and the antifoaming mechanism of the antifoaming agent TBP on C12E8 is explored in this paper. The experimental results show that while the concentration of foaming agent C12E8 is smaller than cmc and at ω=6.28 rad•s-1, the decreases of surface dilational modulus, surface dilational elasticity, surface dilational viscosity and the increases of the phase angle when the concentration of TBP increase for the C12E8+TBP aqueous solution (C12E8=0.074 mmol•L-1) have been related to the diffusional exchange between surface and bulk and to the Marangoni effect, which depends on the restored mechanism of surface tension gradient due to the stretched surface. This has been related to the mechanism of antifoaming action.
