Comparative Adsorption of Cationic and Anionic Surfactants on Fluorite

Interactions between Cationic Starch and Anionic Surfactants

Adsorption of Ethylene on Neutral, Anionic and Cationic Gold Clusters

The adsorption of ethylene molecule on neutral, anionic and cationic gold clusters consisting of up to 10 atoms has been investigated using density-functional theory. It is demonstrated that C2H4 can be adsorbed on small gold clusters in two different configurations, corresponding to the πand di-σ -bonded species. Adsorption in the π-bonded mode dominates over the di-σ mode over all considered ...

Charge screening between anionic and cationic surfactants in ionic liquids.

The aggregation and interfacial behavior of mixtures of anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS) and cationic (dodecylammonium bromide, DTAB) surfactants were investigated. A room-temperature ionic liquid (IL) was explored as a solvent for the SDS/DTAB system and compared to water. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) and composition in mixed micelles were determined for both solvents. Our expe...

Interactions between cationic starch and mixed anionic surfactants

The interactions of cationic starch (CS, degree of substitution=0.8)/mixed anionic surfactant/water systems were investigated. The surfactants investigated were sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), sodium octanoate (NaOct), sodium decanoate (NaDe), sodium dodecanoate (NaDod), sodium oleate (NaOl ) and sodium erucate (NaEr). The concentration of CS varied from 0.001 to 10 wt.%. The effect of mixing on...
