Effect of amide bonds on the self-assembly of gemini surfactants.
This study provides an insight into the micellar aggregation properties in aqueous solutions of various gemini surfactants bearing one or more amide groups at the side chains and/or in the spacer by conductivity and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies. The amide functionality was found to enhance the surfactant aggregation properties as compared to the surfactants having no amide bond...
متن کاملSerine-based gemini surfactants with different spacer linkages: from self-assembly to DNA compaction.
Cationic gemini surfactants have strong potential as compaction agents of nucleic acids for efficient non-viral gene delivery. In this work, we present the aggregation behavior of three novel cationic serine-based gemini surfactants as well as their ability to compact DNA per se and mixed with a helper lipid, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE). All the surfactants have a 12-12...
متن کاملGemini surfactants: A distinct class of self-assembling molecules
Gemini surfactant is the family of surfactant molecules possessing more than one hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head group. These surfactants usually have better surface-active properties than corresponding conventional surfactants of equal chain length. Geminis are used as promising surfactants in industrial detergency and have shown efficiency in skin care, antibacterial property, metal-enc...
متن کاملSynthesis and Properties of Dissymmetric Gemini Surfactants
A series of novel dissymmetric gemini cationics surfactants was synthesized by three-step reactions. The dissymmetric gemini surfactants contain a dodecanoic acid dimethylethylamine ester as the constant cationic part on one side of the hydroxypropyl center and a similar other cationic part, but with a different acid length (from octanoic to palmitic), on the other side. The critical micelle co...
متن کاملGemini (dimeric) surfactant perturbation of the human erythrocyte.
We studied the ability of di-cationic gemini surfactantsdi (amphiphiles), i.e. 1,4-butanediammonium-N,N-dialkyl-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl bromides (Di-Cm-di-QAS (s = 4), where m = 8, 11, 13, 16 and s = the number of alkyl groups in the spacer) to induce shape alteration, vesiculation, haemolysis and phosphatidylserine exposure in human erythrocytes, and to protect erythrocytes against hypotonic hae...
