α, ω-alkane-bis(n-myristoyloxyethyl-n, n-dimethyl)-diammonium bromide were synthesized and confirmed by ft-ir, ft-raman and 1h-nmr spectroscopy. surface tensions were measured by sigma 70 and conductivity meter ec-470c. critical micelle concentration values were 2.70×10-4∼3.05×10-4 mol/l. the krafft points were measured at 39.1 ~ 43.2℃. their inhibition effects on the corrosion of low carbon st...

Detergent surfactants can be found in wastewater in relevant concentrations. Most of them are known as ready degradable under aerobic conditions, as required by European legislation. Far fewer surfactants have been tested so far for biodegradability under anaerobic conditions. The natural environment is predominantly aerobic, but there are some environmental compartments such as river sediments...

We studied the effects of four soluble surfactants on DPPC monolayers to elucidate the action of these membrane perturbants. The presence of nonionic N-9 and amphoteric C31G strongly affected the pure DPPC isotherm, while anionic SDS and cationic DTAB had little effect. The impact of surfactant on DPPC domain shape in the liquid condensed-liquid expanded coexistence region showed the opposite r...

The molecular connectivity indices were used to derive the simple model relating the critical micelle concentration of cationic (chloride) gemini surfactants to their structure. One index was selected as the best to describe the effect of the structure of investigated compounds on critical micelle concentration consistent with the experimental results. This index encodes the information about m...

DNA microspheres formed by self-assembly of DNA three-way junctions with self-complementary sticky-ends undergo an unexpected dynamic transformation from filled spheres into hollow capsules upon addition of cationic surfactants such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

It is known that cationic surfactants have an antimicrobial effect and act as enhancers. This paper studies three cationic surfactants from the group of alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chlorides (dodecyl-, tetradecyl-, and hexadecyl). Interest is focused on the association of the surfactants with respect to temperature, partition balances and their influence on drug release, rheological properties,...

the influences of anionic sodium dodecylsulfate (sds) and cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (htab) surfactants on the incorporation and distribution of barium hexaferrite nanoparticles in the electrodeposited cofe-bafe12o19 composite thin films were studied. sulphate bathes with natural ph containing 0 to 2 g/l surfactants were used for electroplating at room temperature. field emissi...

Surface tension (ST) measurements were carried out on various binary mixtures of the "normal" surfactants, such as nonionic surfactant, hexaethylene glycol mono-n-dodecyl ether(C12EO6), and cationic surfactant, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB), and polymeric copolymer, Pluronic F127, F127(PPO)-g-PVP, and F127(PEO)-g-PVP. In all cases mixed micellar aggregates were formed and critical ...

QSAR models are frequently used to investigate and predict the toxicological effects of chemicals. Building QSAR models of the eye irritation potential of cationic surfactants is difficult, as the mechanism of action of these surfactants is still not fully understood. This report describes a data driven QSAR model to predict Maximum Average Scores (MAS in accordance to Draize) for cationic surf...
