zno and zno: mn nanocrystals were synthesized via reverse micelle method. the structural properties of nanocrystals were investigated by xrd. the xrd results indicated that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. resistive gas sensors were fabricated by providing ohmic contacts on the tablet obtained from compressed nanocrystals powder and the installation ...

All-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study the effects of different tetraalkylammonium (TAA(+)) counterions, including tetramethylammonium (TMA(+)), tetraethylammonium (TEA(+)), tetrapropylammonium (TPA(+)) and tetrabutylammonium (TBA(+)), on dodecyl sulfate (DS(-)) micelles. Structural properties, such as the radius of gyration (Rg), micelle radius (Rs), micelle size,...

Mesoporous polymer materials were fabricated from micelle/polymer precursors prepared by the micelle template method in reverse microemulsion systems and the pore size could be tuned by varying the type and concentration of surfactant.

The surfactants cesium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, tetrapropylammonium and tetrabutylammonium dodecyl sulfates (CsDS, TMADS, TEADS, TPADS, and TBADS) have been synthesized by ion-exchange. The critical micellization concentration in the absence of added salt (cmc) has been determined at 10, 25, and 40 °C using the electrical conductivity method. The cmc was found to decrease in th...

Free energy of transfer of methylamine, octylamine, methanol, and octanol from water phase to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle has been calculated using thermodynamic integration method combined with molecular dynamics calculations. Together with the results for alkanes obtained in our previous study [K. Fujimoto, N. Yoshii, and S. Okazaki, J. Chem. Phys. 133, 074511 (2010)], the effect of ...

Micelle formation in surfactant solutions is a self-assembly process governed by complex interplay of solvent-mediated interactions between hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, which are commonly called heads and tails. However, the head-tail repulsion is not the only factor affecting the micelle formation. For the first time, we present a systematic study of the effect of chain rigidity on crit...

zno and zno:mn nanocrystals synthesized via reverse micelle method. the size, band gap, urbach energy, optical constants and penetration depth of nanocrystals were calculated by uv-vis spectroscopy data. the surface morphology was studied with the use of scanning electron microscope (sem). moreover the samples exposed to gama ray source of 60co and their thermoluminescence properties were also ...

A statistical-mechanical treatment of the solubilization in micelle is presented in combination with molecular simulation. The micellar solution is viewed as an inhomogeneous and partially finite, mixed solvent system, and the method of energy representation is employed to evaluate the free-energy change for insertion of a solute into the micelle inside with a realistic set of potential functio...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of micelle to change the pharmacokinetics of quercetin (QUT), with a primary goal of enhancing its oral bioavailability. QUT-loaded methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lactic acid) micelle (QUT-loaded MPEG-b-PLLA micelle) was prepared by a thin-film hydration method, resulting in a particle size of 88.5 nm. A liquid chromatography tande...
