Critical Micelle Concentration . A Transition Point for Micellar Size Distribution
A critical concentration is defined which separates two kinds of behavior of the size distribution of micellar aggregates of surfactant molecules. Below this concentration, the size distribution is a monotonic decreasing function of size; above this concentration, the size distribution is a function exhibiting two extrema and the contribution of larger aggregates becomes important. Quantitative...
متن کاملCalculations of critical micelle concentration by dissipative particle dynamics simulations: the role of chain rigidity.
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...
متن کاملPrediction of the Critical Micelle Concentration of Nonionic Surfactants by Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulations.
Micellization of surfactant solutions is a ubiquitous phenomenon in natural systems and technological processes, and its theoretical description represents one of the cornerstone problems in the physical chemistry of colloidal systems. However, successful attempts of quantitative modeling confirmed by experimental data remains limited. We show, for the first time, that the dissipative particle ...
متن کاملCritical Micelle Concentration and the Transition Point for Micellar Size Distribution
Figure 3 shows a HREM image of a silica ge112 specimen. The corresponding optical transform (inset Figure 3) indicates that the Scherzer defocus condition is well-satisfied, with spacings in the range 2.4-6.3 A appearing in the image. In this case there is no evidence for departures from randomness, either in the image or its optical transform, and it might be argued that this is consistent wit...
متن کامل[Oxazolidinones, glycopeptides and cyclic lipopeptides].
A review of the chemical structure, pharmacokinetics, spectrum of activity, clinical use, and adverse effects of oxazolidinones (linezolid), glycopeptides, and cyclic lipopeptides (daptomycin) is presented. Oxazolidinones inhibit protein synthesis, and glycopeptides and cyclic lipopeptides act against the bacterial cell wall. The antibacterial spectrum of these agents covers gram-positive patho...
