Rheological studies of aqueous alkylpolyglucoside surfactant solutions

Alkylpolyglucosides (C _Y G _X ) are industrial products of mixtures consisting of a hydrocarbon chain with Y carbon atoms linked to X sugar residues. Based on detailed analytical investigation of technical grade alkylpolyglucosides (C_8–10G _X , C_12–14G _X and C_8–16G _X )/water systems using high-performance liquid chromatography in combination with a special kind of mass spectroscopy their rheological behaviour is discussed and compared to the rheological behaviour of pure alkyl monoglycosides (C₈G₁ and C₁₀G₁) in water. The rheological properties that exhibit a dependence on the alkyl chain length, Y, and the degree of polymerisation, X, are investigated by rotation and oscillation experiments over an extended concentration range. The Maxwell model fits the frequency dependence of the dynamic functions fairly well. The viscosity shows an Arrhenius-like dependence on temperature. A comparison is drawn between the monoglucosides and the polyglucosides, which shows that the rheological properties are more sensitive to the a change in chain length than in the degree of polymerisation. Phase transitions, especially liquid-crystalline to isotropic solutions, phase split into two coexisting liquid phases, and could be followed using visual observation and rheology. Depending on the difference in the rheological properties of the corresponding phases, viscoelastic measurements showed these transitions clearly. Additionally, the changes in viscosities were measured after addition of a second surfactant. Received: 4 January 1999 Accepted in revised form: 12 April 1999     

反相胶束对辣根过氧化物酶催化反应的影响

胶束体系是酶学研究比较理想的体系,因为它所具有的诸如热力学稳定、光学透明及能增溶亲水分子、亲油分子或两性分子等性质,使许多酶在胶束体系中的反应速率远远高于在水相中,即人们发现的所谓“超活性”［‘j．辣根过氧化物酶（HRP）是一种比较稳定的酶,且价廉易得,具备一般过氧化物酶的典型反应．在研究中人们发现,HRP在反相胶束体系中同样具有“超活性”,由于HRP能够催化大量底物进行反应,因此“超活性”对HRP的催化反应具有重要意义．已有研究者［’、’j对CTAB反相胶束体系中HRP的性质进行了探讨,但反相胶束对HRP的…

Surfactant self-assembly objects as novel drug delivery vehicles

The past decade has been witness to a new impetus in surfactant self-assembly objects as agents for drug delivery that are an alternative to micellar, lamellar (liposome, niosome and transfersome) or microemulsion-based vehicles. The review focus herein is on the application of hexagonal, cubic, ‘intermediate’ (viz. rhombohedral, tetragonal and monoclinic) and L₃ (‘sponge’) mesophases.

Influence of the hydrophobic tail of alkyl glucosides on their ability to solubilize stratum corneum lipid liposomes

The lytic interactions of a series of alkyl glucosides (alkyl chain lengths ranging from C₈ to C₁₂) with liposomes formed by a mixture of lipids modeling the stratum corneum (SC) lipid composition were investigated. The surfactant-to-lipid molar ratios (Re) and the normalized bilayer/aqueous phase partition coefficients (K) were determined by monitoring the changes in the static light-scattering (SLS) of the system during solubilization. The fact that the free surfactant concentrations were always similar to their critical micelle concentrations indicates that the liposome solubilization was mainly ruled by the formation of mixed micelles. At the two interaction levels studied (100 and 0% SLS) the nonyl glucoside showed the highest ability to saturate and to solubilize liposomes (lowest Re values), whereas the dodecyl glucoside showed the highest degree of partitioning into liposomes or affinity with these structures (highest K values). Comparison of the data for octyl glucoside with that reported for the interaction of this surfactant with phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes shows that whereas the SC lipid liposomes were more resistant to the action of this surfactant (higher Re values), its degree of partitioning into SC bilayers was both in the saturation and solubilization of liposomes similar to that exhibited in PC vesicles (similar K values).

Study of polymer-surfactant interactions via surface tension measurements

Interactions between a polymer and a surfactant were studied via surface tension measurements. Poly(ethylene glycol) and sodium dodecyl sulfate were used as a polymer and a surfactant, respectively. The addition of polymer affected the CMC value of the surfactant. The interpretations of the data and theoretical plots of polymer-surfactant interactions are discussed using a theoretical model.
