Investigations of mixed surfactant systems of lauryl alcohol-based bissulfosuccinate anionic gemini surfactants with conventional surfactants: A fluorometric study

Aggregation of an anionic azo dye with conventional cationic surfactants in premicellar region: A conductometric study

The interaction of Congo Red CR with a series of Alkyltrimethylamoniumbromide CnTAB, N-hexadecylpyridinium bromide CPB and N-hexadecylpyridinium CPC were investigated using conductometry technique. It was observed that the formation of dye-surfactant ion pairs takes place at surfactant concentration far below the critical micelle concentration of the individual surfactants. Aggregation was refl...

Transitions of organized assemblies in mixed systems of cationic bolaamphiphile and anionic conventional surfactants.

The transition from vesicles to tubelike structures has been studied in mixed systems of cationic bolaamphiphile BPHTAB [biphenyl-4,4'-bis(oxyhexamethylenetrimethylammonium bromide)] and its oppositely charged conventional surfactants with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). This transition can be attributed to the fact that tube-like structures are more s...

Fabrication of vesicles from mixed cationic/anionic surfactants with additives

In this study, positively charged catanionic vesicles were fabricated from an ion pair amphiphile (IPA), hexadecyltrimethylammonium-dodecylsulfate (HTMA-DS), with the addition of a double-chained cationic surfactant, ditetradecyldimethylammonium bromide (DTDAB), and cholesterol by a mechanical dispersion process. The effects of the added cholesterol on physical stability of the catanionic vesic...

Wormlike micelles formed by mixed cationic and anionic gemini surfactants in aqueous solution.

The formation and the properties of wormlike micelles in aqueous solutions of mixed cationic and anionic gemini surfactants, 2-hydroxyl-propanediyl-α,ω-bis(dimethyldodecylammonium bromide) (12-3(OH)-12) and O,O'-bis(sodium 2-dodecylcarboxylate)-p-benzenediol (C(12)ϕC(12)), have been studied by steady-state and dynamic rheological measurements at 25°C. With the addition of a small amount of C(12...
