Fluorinated pyridinium and ammonium cationic surfactants

Fluorinated Surfactants Potentially Non - Bioaccumulable

This minireview updates non-exhaustive recent strategies of synthesis of original fluorosurfactants potentially non-biodegradable. Various strategies have been focused on: (i) the preparation of CF3-X-(CH2)n-SO3Na (with X=O, C6H4O or N(CF3) and n=8-12), (ii) the oligomerization of hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO) to further synthesize oligo(HFPO)-CF(CF3)CO-RH (where RH stands for an hydrophilic...

Interactions between Cationic Starch and Anionic Surfactants

Silver Nanoparticles-Based Nano-drop Spectrophotometric Determination of Cationic Surfactants Coupled with Hydrophobic Interaction; An Application to Pharmaceuticals and Environmental Samples

The proposed work describes the nanodrop spectrophotometric determination of cationic surfactants using citrate-modified silver nanoparticles based on the aggregation of silver nanoparticles induced by cationic surfactants due to the hydrophobic effect. The visible color change in the solution of silver nanoparticle includes a red shift with the quenching of the absorption spectra. The maximum ...

Thermodynamic Analysis for Cationic Surfactants Binding to Bovine Serum Albumin

In the present study, the binding isotherms for interaction of a homologous series of n-alkyltrimethyl ammonium bromides with bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been analyzed on basis of intrinsic thermodynamic quantities. In this regards, the intrinsic Gibbs free energy of binding, AGb(i,)„ has been estimated at various surfactant concentrations and its trend of variation for both binding sets ha...

Modification of the surfaces of Wyoming montmorillonite by the cationic surfactants alkyl trimethyl, dialkyl dimethyl, and trialkyl methyl ammonium bromides.

Surfaces of a Wyoming SWy-2 sodium montmorillonite were modified using microwave radiation through intercalation with the cationic surfactants octadecyl-trimethyl ammonium bromide, dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide, and methyl-tri-octadecyl ammonium bromide by an ion exchange mechanism. Changes in the surfaces and structure were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (T...
