Spectrophotometric determination of cationic and anionic surfactants with anionic dyes in the presence of nonionic surfactants,part I: A general aspect

The behavior of color development of anionic azo dyes, methyl orange and its analogues, was examined in aqueous media by changing the microenvironment of the dyes. The addition of alcohols, organic onium ions, anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants brought about a decrease of the band at wavelengths near 480 nm and an increase of the band at wavelengths near 420 nm. Such a shift toward the shorter wavelengths in spectra was attributed to the change of the micro-environment around the dyes from a polar field to a less polar field; that is, the shift is caused by the change of the contribution of the following resonance forms, On the basis of the color change phenomena, the spectrophotometric methods for the determination of organic onium ions and anionic surfactants were proposed.     

Mixed adsorption and surface tension prediction of nonideal ternary surfactant systems

To deal with the mixed adsorption of nonideal ternary surfactant systems, the regular solution approximation for nonideal binary surfactant systems is extended and a pseudo-binary system treatment is also proposed. With both treatments, the compositions of the mixed monolayer and the solution concentrations required to produce given surface tensions can be predicted based only on the -LogC curves of individual surfactants and the pair interaction parameters. Conversely, the surface tensions of solutions with different bulk compositions can be predicted by the surface tension equations for mixed surfactant systems. Two ternary systems: SDS/Hyamine 1622/AEO₇, composed of homogeneous surfactants, and AES/DPCl/AEO₉, composed of commercial surfactants, in the presence of excess NaCl, are examined for the applicability of the two treatments. The results show that, in general, the pseudo-binary system treatment gives better prediction than the extended regular solution approximation, and the applicability of the latter to typical anionic/cationic/nonionic nonideal ternary surfactant systems seems to depend on the combined interaction parameter, : the more it deviates from zero, the larger the prediction difference. If 0, good agreements between predicted and experimental results can be obtained and both treatments, though differently derived, are interrelated and tend to be equivalent.Poster presentation at the 14th SIS conference, June 2002, Barcelona     

Polymeric networks by the cationic crosslinking reaction of poly(allenyl ether)s having oligo(oxyethylene) moieties in the side chain

Cationic crosslinking reactions of poly(allenyl ether)s having oligo(oxyethylene) moieties prepared by the radical polymerization of the corresponding allenyl ethers were carried out under some varied reaction conditions. For instance, a crosslinked polymer was obtained in 82% yield by the treatment of poly(ethylene glycol methyl allenyl ether) ( 1a ) with 1.2 mol% of BF₃·OEt₂ ( 2 ) under high concentration in dichloromethane (46 wt %). The gels obtained showed good swelling properties in water, alcohols, and polar organic solvents such as dichloromethane. In particular, the degrees of swelling of these gels in aqueous sodium chloride (1M) were quite similar to those in ion-free water, indicating that these gels served as nonionic hydrogels. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

胶束介质中的Wittig—Horner反应研究

近年来手性胶束及混合胶束的出现,使得胶束在模拟酶研究方面取得了长足的进展。胶束作为酶的一个简单模型,可催化多种复杂有机反应,已有的胶束催化有机反应大多数与生化反应有关,如酯的水解反应等,胶束催化碳负离子反应的研究却很少,非离子型胶束催化的碳负离子反应就更少,本文报导用聚乙二醇类表面活性剂形成的胶束来     

Quantitative Structure—Property Relationship on Prediction of Surface Tension of Nonionic Surfactants

When a surfactant is solved into a solvent, it will adsorb onto the surface of the solution and reduce the surface free energy to a marked degree. The surface free energy, which is the minimum amount of work required to create that surface, is usually measured by surface tension. The minimum of surface tension 0g is the most useful key for characterizing the activity of surfactant. It is well known that 0g is determined by the molecular structure of surfactant, i.e., the contributions from …

ADSORPTION OF COLLOIDAL MATERIALS ON POLYMER SURFACES

Polypropylene surfaces were rendered cationic by hydrophobic implantation and by grafting a quaternized polyvinyl pyridine onto a plasma treated surface. The polypropylene surface with the grafted polymer showed a strong adsorption of an anionic surfactant, corresponding to about ten monomolecular layers. High concentration of electrolyte caused a reduction of the adsorption at low concentrations of surfactant.     

Temperature Effect on the Phase Behavior of the Systems Water/TritonX-100,114,405/n-Butanol/n-Hexane

We have investigated the effect of temperature on the phase behavior and the partition coefficients of nonionic surfactants in water/n-hexane systems. We found that the composition of the conjugate single and two phase solution in the pseudoternary diagram is continuously transformed from one state to other by increasing the temperature. We also demonstrated that the partition coefficient of a nonionic surfactant is a measure of the relative hydrophilic-lipophilic nature of the surfactant, if the measurement is performed at low concentration.     

Small angle neutron scattering from micellar solutions

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is an ideal tool for studying structures of macromolecules and colloidal solutions. A number of micellar solutions have been studied in our laboratory using a home built SANS spectrometer. This paper gives an introduction to the technique of SANS and gives a brief survey of the results obtained at Trombay.     

Formation of Nonspherical Particles with Uneven Surface in Emulsion Copolymerization of Styrene and Methacrylic Acid with Nonionic Emulsifier

Summary: Emulsion copolymerization of styrene and methacrylic acid with nonionic emulsifier and potassium persulfate as initiator gave nonspherical copolymer particles having uneven surface. The formation was based on the coagulation of byproduct nano-sized (ca. 35 nm) particles, which were formed throughout the copolymerization until monomer phase disappeared, onto main submicron-sized (234 ∼ 445 nm) particles.
