A model complex-forming nonionic polymer-anionic surfactant system in aqueous solution has been studied at different surfactant concentrations. Using pulsed-field-gradient diffusion NMR spectroscopy, we obtain the self-diffusion coefficients of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEO) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) simultaneously and as a function of SDS concentration. In addition, we obtain NMR relaxatio...

This study presents a novel separation, preconcentration and determination of muroxide (MO) in an aqueous solution by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-bounded iron oxide nanoparticles (S-IONPs). It is shown that the novel magnetic nano-adsorbent is quite efficient for the adsorption and desorption of MO at 25 C. The effect of temperature, pH of aqueous medium, and interfering ions on the recovery p...

Cyclodextrin (CD)/surfactant complexes were usually believed to be quite soluble in water and unable to form aggregates because of the hydrophilic outer surface. However, in this work, SDS@2b-CD complex is found to be able to self-assemble into well-defined lamellar structures in concentrated aqueous solution. The lamellae possess unprecedented in-plane solid-crystalline order in addition to cl...

Cannabis sativa, Myristica fragrans, Piper longum and Embleia ribes are the active pharma ingredients of an ayurvedic herbal formulation Jatiphaldya, which is beneficial in many typical stomach related disorders. The present study is aimed to develop a simple and reliable thin layer chromatographic (TLC) method using micellar solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as mobile phase for the iden...

The effect of polyoxyethylene type nonionic surfactants (C12En n=3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) on the aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in absence and presence of NaCl was examined using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and viscosity measurements. Upon addition of C12En, micellar size of SDS was found to increase significantly, and such micellar elong...

Fluorescent γ-cyclodextrin derivatives, modified using N-phenyl-x-anthracenecarboxamido (ACs; x = 9, 1), were synthesized and investigated using fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy. Fluorescence enhancements of ACs were observed up to 12-fold by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) below the critical micellar concentration (CMC). In the presence of a nonionic surfactant, such as Trit...

Glycosyl-[60]fullerenes were first used as decontaminants against ricin, a lactose recognition proteotoxin in the Ricinus communis family. A fullerene glycoconjugate carrying two lactose units was synthesized by a [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between C60 and the azide group in 6-azidohexyl β-lactoside per-O-acetate. A colloidal aqueous solution with brown color was prepared from deprotected b...

in the present study, micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (meuf) was used to remove manganese (mn) (ii) from synthetic wastewater. the effects of different operational conditions on the filtration performance of meuf or the membrane were studied. it was found that the transmembrane pressure has a major influence on the permeate flux and an insignificant effect on the rejection coefficient. the pe...

The influence of the water soluble non-ionic tri-block copolymer PEO-PPO-PEO [poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)] i.e., E2P16E2 (L31) on the microstructure and self-aggregation dynamics of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) in aqueous solution was investigated using cloud point (CP), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), high resolution nuclear mag...

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by using the in-liquid pulsed plasma technique. This method is based on a low voltage, spark discharge in dielectric liquid. We explore effect of protecting ligands, specifically Cetyl Trimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB), Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and Sodium n-Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), used as surfactant materials to prevent nanoparticle aggrega...
