联接基长度对Gemini表面活性剂流变性质的影响

用毛细管振荡剪切流动法研究了联接基团为聚亚甲基链的阳离子Gemini表面活性剂的流变性质。实验结果表明,无论是普通单链单头基或Gemini表面活性剂,其流变性质主要由胶团的大小和形状所决定;随着联接基团长度的增加,胶团的轴比率变小,导致流动阻力减小,粘度降低。此外对于球形和棒状胶团溶液,其流变性质主要以粘性为主．弹性可忽略不计。在低剪切速率下,溶液属于牛顿型流体;而在高剪切速率下,则表现出准塑性流体性质。

Zeta potential of dodecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide micelles in water

 The electrophoretical mobility of dodecyltrimethyl-ammonium hydroxide micelles has been measured at two different concentrations giving values similar to that determined in other surfac-tants. There is a good agreement between micelle ionization degrees computed from zeta potential measurements and those from ion-selective electrodes experiments. This demonstrates that electrophoresis experiments may be replaced by the simpler ion-selective electrode measurements to determine micelle surface potential. It has also been concluded that ion-selective electrodes detect only the non-micellised ions, that only free ions contribute to the intermicellar solution ionic strength, and micelles do not affect the result, and that the dependence of the electrophoretic mobility on the soap concentration is due to the reduction of the micelle net charge when the ionic strength of the intermicellar solution arises.

Interactions between gemini surfactants and polymers: thermodynamic studies

Aqueous mixtures containing a homopolymer, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), or a hydrophobically modified graft copolymer, HM-pullulan, (PULAU9, where 9 stands for the nominal substitution degree), and different Gemini surfactants have been investigated at 25.0 degrees C. A wide variety of experimental conditions were addressed by changing the amount of polymer and of surfactant. The Gemini surfactants were synthesized, purified, and characterized by routine methods. They differ from each other in polar head groups (two sulfonate-, two quaternary ammonium-, or two arginine-based groups), in alkyl chain length (11 or 12 carbon atoms), and in the distance between the polar head groups. The spacers consist of 2, 3, and 6 methylene units or 3 oxyethylene units. Surface activity and solution calorimetry measurements yield some physicochemical features inherent to micelle formation and polymer-surfactant interactions. The data are supported by ionic conductivity, detecting the critical thresholds and quantifying the modifications in binding associated with critical association (CAC) and micelle formation (CMC*). The Gibbs energy of transfer from the micelles to a polymer-binding site, DeltaGtrans, was evaluated from the CAC/CMC* ratios versus the amount of added polymer. A similar procedure determined the enthalpy of transfer, DeltaHtrans. DeltaGtrans decreases with added polymer, whereas DeltaHtrans becomes more negative on increasing the amount of polymer in the medium. According to the selected data presented here, cationic Geminis do not interact with PVP, while significant interactions have been observed in other surfactants. In mixtures with PULAU9, the interaction is significant for all Geminis. This effect is due to interactions between the surfactants and the hydrophobic alkyl groups on the main polymer chain. The pendent groups facing away from the polysaccharide chain act as binding sites for aggregates onto such polymers.

Self-assembled Gemini surfactant film-mediated dispersion stability

The force-distance curves of 12-2-12 and 12-4-12 Gemini quaternary ammonium bromide surfactants on mica and silica surfaces obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM) were correlated with the structure of the adsorption layer. The critical micelle concentration was measured in the presence or absence of electrolyte. The electrolyte effect (the decrease of CMC) is significantly more pronounced for Gemini than for single-chain surfactants. The maximum compressive force, F(max), of the adsorbed surfactant aggregates was determined. On the mica surface in the presence of 0.1 M NaCl, the Gemini micelles and strong repulsive barrier appear at surfactant concentrations 0.02-0.05 mM, which is significantly lower than that for the single C(12)TAB (5-10 mM). This difference between single and Gemini surfactants can be explained by a stronger adsorption energy of Gemini surfactants. The low concentration of Gemini at which this surfactant forms the strong micellar layer on the solid/solution interface proves that Gemini aggregates (micelles) potentially act as dispersing agent in processes such as chemical mechanical polishing or collector in flotation. The AFM force-distance results obtained for the Gemini surfactants were used along with turbidity measurements to determine how adsorption of Gemini surfactants affects dispersion stability. It has been shown that Gemini (or two-chain) surfactants are more effective dispersing agents, and that in the presence of electrolyte, the silica dispersion stability at pH 4.0 can also be achieved at very low surfactant concentrations ( approximately 0.02 mM).     

Structure and dynamics of concentrated micellar solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate

In micellar solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate, as the concentration of surfactants increases, the spheroid shape of the micelles changes from almost spherical to ellipsoidal with increasing ratio of half-axes ratio, and further the transition to cylindrical micelles occurs. The micelles in an aqueous solution can directly contact (compact aggregates) or be separated from one another by layers of intermicellar medium (periodical colloid structures). In the latter case, the thickness of the layer can significantly exceed the micelle size, and then no mutual correlation in micelle arrangement is observed. According to the data of small-angle X-ray scattering, the relationship between the surfactant concentration and formation of “quasi-crystalline” micellar structure is nonlinear, which can be due to both micelle aggregation processes and nonuniformity of their structure. The possible influence of ordered micellar structures on the diffusion mobility of micelles is shown.     

Micellar solutions of ionic surfactants and their mixtures with nonionic surfactants: Theoretical modeling vs. Experiment

Here, we review two recent theoretical models in the field of ionic surfactant micelles and discuss the comparison of their predictions with experimental data. The first approach is based on the analysis of the stepwise thinning (stratification) of liquid films formed from micellar solutions. From the experimental step-wise dependence of the film thickness on time, it is possible to determine the micelle aggregation number and charge. The second approach is based on a complete system of equations (a generalized phase separation model), which describes the chemical and mechanical equilibrium of ionic micelles, including the effects of electrostatic and non-electrostatic interactions, and counterion binding. The parameters of this model can be determined by fitting a given set of experimental data, for example, the dependence of the critical micellization concentration on the salt concentration. The model is generalized to mixed solutions of ionic and nonionic surfactants. It quantitatively describes the dependencies of the critical micellization concentration on the composition of the surfactant mixture and on the electrolyte concentration, and predicts the concentrations of the monomers that are in equilibrium with the micelles, as well as the solution’s electrolytic conductivity; the micelle composition, aggregation number, ionization degree and surface electric potential. These predictions are in very good agreement with experimental data, including data from stratifying films. The model can find applications for the analysis and quantitative interpretation of the properties of various micellar solutions of ionic surfactants and mixed solutions of ionic and nonionic surfactants.     

Stability of spherical and rod-like micelles of ionic surfactants,in relation to their counterion binding and modes of hydration

Aqueous salt solutions of ionic surfactants in both spherical and rod-like micelles have been treated on the basis of a statistical thermodynamic theory, and the double logarithmic relationship between micelle molecular weight and ionic strength is derived for each micelle. Counterion binding on both micelles are assumed to occur specifically, and their degrees of dissociation are related to the slopes of the linear double logarithmic relations. It is found from the relationship observed for typical surfactants that the effective charge of spherical micelles is 29±4. The degree of dissociation of rod-like micelles of these surfactants is primarily determined by the counterion species, yielding values 0.8 for Na⁺, 0.4–0.6 for Cl^– and 0.2–0.3 for Br^–. Hydrophilic hydration of both micelles can be evaluated from the intercepts of the linear relations. Hydrophilic hydration acts repulsively in spherical micelles, while it is attractive or much less repulsive in rod-like micelles.
