The present study describes the conductometric and spectroscopic study of the interaction of reactive anionic dyes, namely, reactive red 223 and reactive orange 122 with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). In a systematic investigation, the electrical conductivity data was used to calculate various thermodynamic parameters such as free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and...

Millimolar bulk concentrations of the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) induce spreading of alkanes, H(CH(2))(n)H (denoted C(n)) 12< or =n< or =21, on the water surface, which is not otherwise wet by these alkanes. The novel Langmuir-Gibbs film (LGF) formed is a liquidlike monolayer comprising both alkanes and CTAB tails. Upon cooling, an ordering transition occurs, yielding a he...

this paper reports application of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) coated magnetite nanoparticles (fe3o4 nps) as a novel adsorbent for removal of two types of disperse dyes, including disperse red 167, and disperse blue 183, from wastewater of textile companies. the effect of parameters including type of surfactant, ph of solution, surfactant concentration, and amount of salt, was investig...

This thesis is focused on the formation of highly ordered mesoporous structures with adjustable orientation within the ordered, vertical channels of anodic alumina membranes (AAMs) under the conditions of the ‘evaporation-induced self-assembly’ (EISA) method. It is shown that three of the most often used structure directing agents (CTAB, Pluronic123 and Brij56) can be employed for the synthesis...

Nitric oxide-releasing mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were prepared using an aminosilane-template surfactant ion exchange reaction. Initially, bare silica particles were synthesized under basic conditions in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). These particles were functionalized with nitric oxide (NO) donor precursors (i.e., secondary amines) via the addition of amino...

(d) Abstract Interactions between phenol and cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles have been investigated by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The combined use of 1 H and NOESY techniques revealed that phenol has different preferred locations of interaction depending on the pH. At neutral pH (6.70) conditions, phenol molecules are preferentially located in the ...

In this paper, cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was employed to prevent the restack of the thermally reduce graphene oxide (TRG) sheets. A facile approach was demonstrated to effectively enlarge the interlayer distance of the TRG sheets through the ionic interaction between the intercalated CTAB and ionic liquids (ILs). The morphology of the composites and the interacti...

a simple hydrothermal method was designed for the synthesis of the nanostructure barium phosphonate in presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) or sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) as surfactant. ft-ir, edax, xrf, xrd, sem were used to characterize this material. effect of solvent on morphology complex was discussed. thermogr avimetric analysis (tga) shows the existence of porosity and stab...

The compaction and aggregation of DNA induced by cationic surfactants was studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Furthermore, the effect on surfactant-compacted DNA of the addition of nonionic amphiphiles and salt was studied. When using sufficiently low amounts of DNA and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), compacted DNA molecules could be monitored by the appearance of a band character...
