Dynamic Interfacial Tension Behavior of Water/Oil Systems Containing In situ-Formed Surfactants

Time-dependent interfacial tension (IFT) has been investigated for an interfacially reactive immiscible system composed of model-acidified oil and alkaline water. The acidified oil was composed of either lauric acid or linoleic acid dissolved in n-dodecane. Drop volume tensiometry was employed to measure the interfacial tension between the two phases. In the case of lauric acid, the IFT value was found to decrease sharply with increasing alkali concentration, even at low drop formation times. In the case of linoleic acid, the IFT decrease with the drop formation time was more gradual, especially at low alkali concentration. The rate of formation of the interfacial area was also found to be dependent on alkali concentration.

Determination of proteins at nanogram levels by a resonance light-scattering technique with tetra-substituted sulphonated aluminum phthalocyanine

This is the first report on the determination of proteins with tetra-substituted sulphonated aluminum phthalocyanine (AlS₄Pc) by resonance light-scattering (RLS). At pH 3.0, the weak RLS of AlS₄Pc can be enhanced by the addition of proteins. Based on this, a novel quantitative method has been developed for the determination of proteins in aqueous solutions. Under optimal conditions, the linear ranges of the calibration curves were 0.050–2.0 μg ml⁻¹ for both human serum albumin (HSA) and human r-IgG. The detection limits were 12.7 ng ml⁻¹ for HSA and 16.1 ng ml⁻¹ for human r-IgG. The method has been applied to the analysis of total protein in human serum samples collected from the hospital and the results were in good agreement with those reported by the hospital, which indicates that the method presented here is not only sensitive, simple, but also reliable and suitable for practical applications.     

Dynamic headspace analysis of trace volatile components in polymeric materials by wide bore capillary gas chromatography

A novel dynamic headspace gas chromatographic system equipped with a wide bore capillary column was constructed for direct analysis of less volatile components in polymeric materials such as coating paints. With this system, the determination of typical paint additives such as hindered amine light stabilizers and ultraviolet absorbers could be carried out within a short time.     

1H NMR Study of Hindered Internal Rotation of Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide in Binary Dimethyl Sulfoxide‐Chloroform Mixtures

Hindered internal rotation about the C‐N single bonds joining the thiuram disulfide was studied by ¹H NMR complete line‐shaped analysis in different dimethyl sulfoxide‐chloroform (DMSO‐CDCl₃) mixtures. From the temperature dependence of methyls proton spectra, activation parameters (E_a, ΔH^≠, ΔS^≠, and ΔG^≠) were obtained. The Arrhenius plots showed a distinct isokinetic temperature at about 35 °C at which the exchange rate is more or less independent of the solvent composition. The resulting ΔH^≠ against TΔS^≠ plot showed a firmly good linear correlation, indicating the existence of an enthalpy‐entropy composition in an exchange process.     

Diffusion behavior of pharmaceutical O/W microemulsions studied by dynamic light scattering

Dynamic light scattering experiments have been performed at various concentrations, of pharmaceutical oil-in-water microemulsions consisting of Eutanol G as oil, a blend of a high (Tagat O2) and a low (Poloxamer 331) hydrophilic–lipophilic balance surfactant, and a hydrophilic phase (propylene glycol/water). We probe the dynamics of these microemulsions by dynamic light scattering. In the measured concentration range, two modes of relaxation were observed. The faster decaying mode is ascribed classically to the collective diffusion D _c (total droplet number density fluctuation). We show that the slow mode is also diffusive and suggest that its possible origin is the relaxation of polydispersity fluctuations. The diffusion coefficient associated with this mode is then the self-diffusion D _s of the droplets. It was found that D _c and D _s had opposite volume fractions of oil plus surfactants (ϕ) dependence and a common limiting value D ₀ for ϕ=0. Average hydrodynamic radius (R _h=10.5 nm) of droplets was calculated from D ₀. R _h is supposed to compose the inner core, a surfactant film including possible solvent molecules, which migrate with the droplet. The concentration dependence of diffusion coefficients reflects the effect of hard sphere and the supplementary repulsive interactions which arises due to loss of entropy, when absorbed chains of surfactant intermingle on the close approach of the two droplets. This mechanism could also explain the observed stability of our systems. The estimated extent of polydispersity is 0.22 from the amplitude of slower decaying mode. The polydispersity in microemulsion systems is dynamic in origin. Results indicate that the time scale for local polydispersity fluctuations is at least three orders of magnitude longer than the estimated time between droplet collisions.
