Mesoporous carbon spheres (MCS) have been fabricated from structured mesoporous silica sphere using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with ethylene as a carbon feedstock. The mesoporous carbon spheres have a high specific surface area of 666.8 m2/g and good electrochemical properties. The mechanism of formation mesoporous carbon spheres (carbon spheres) is investigated. The important thing is a s...

Bioremediation efforts sometimes rely on surfactants to enhance hydrocarbon bioavailability. However, synthetic surfactants are toxic to some degrading microorganisms. In this study we screened a natural surfactant-rich compartment, the sea surface microlayer (SML), for surfactant-resistant bacteria, using enrichment cultures of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (...

J. L. Gao, Y. Zhi, X. F. Ren, Y. H. Liu, College of Material Science and Engineering, Shenyang Ligong University, Shenyang, Liaoning, China. Barium titanate (B aTiO3) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by using a surfactant-assisted method. The various processing parameters, namely, th e species of surfactant, reaction temperature and micro-emusion concentration had been varied, and th...

We studied the phase behavior and aggregation in mixed aqueous solutions of the anionic UV-absorber 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid sodium salt, PhBSA (Na salt), and the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB. The mixtures of the two components behave similarly to catanionic surfactant mixtures. The samples on the PhBSA-rich side have low viscosity and are turbid. The tu...

The presence of small particles at operating conditions the hydrometallurgy process forming crud is a complicated issue. These particles, most often silica and clays, remain in suspension or float to top. A potential solution for their elimination could be promote sedimentation solids by addition surfactant. However, such procedure these complex systems, with different kinds sizes requires eval...

The internal structure of DNA-CTAB and DNA-DDAB is investigated by a Small Angel X- ray Scattering(SAXS) instrument. Hexagonal packing of DNA was observed for DNA complex with CTAB, and for DDABcomplex is observed lamellar structure. Variations in the internal spacing and degree of long-range ordering aredependent on both surfactant type and concentrations of added salt. When we increased the a...

composite electrodeposition is a low-cost and low-temperature method, which is used to make metal matrix composite coatings. in this study the surfactant of anionic(sds) and cationic (ctab) is used as additive in composite coating of ni/tin. the results showed that the anionic surfactant caused more particles in the composite coatings. increasing sds concentration to the optimal value leads to ...

In mixtures of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium perfluorooctanoate (FC(7)) in aqueous solution, novel bilayer cylinders with hemispherical end caps and open, flat discs coexist with spherical unilamellar vesicles, apparently at equilibrium. Such equilibrium among bilayer cylinders, spheres, and discs is only possible for systems with a spontaneous curvature, R(o), and a positive...

Influence of different types surfactants on electrodeposition copper- and carbon-bearing (graphite, carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) composite powder has been experimentally investigated. The size particles decreased, corrosion resistance increased when were added. Addition cationic surfactant CTAB to the electrolyte with simultaneous ultrasonic treatment for CNTs dispersion gives maximum effect.

A green, simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method was proposed for the determination of isoxsuprine hydrochloride (ISX), based on preconcentration with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) modified magnetic iron oxide nanoparticales (MNPs). ISX coupled diazotized metoclopramide drug via diazotization-coupling reaction in alkaline medium to form yellow-orange color product which extracted...
