Solubilization Effect of Anionic, Cationic and Nonionic Surfactants on Coenzyme Q10 Solid Dispersion

Electrodeposition of anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and gold nanoparticles onto glassy carbon electrode for catechol detection

Three surfactants were selected to modify glassy carbon electrode including sodiumdodecylbenzenesulfonate, Tween 80 and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The obtained nano-Au/surfactant/GCEs were characterized with scanning electron microscopy and electrochemicaltechniques. Electrochemical behavior of catechol at the nano-Au/surfactant/GCE was thoroughlyinvestigated for mo...

Effects of Several Nonionic and Anionic Surfactants on Cucumber Protoplasts*

The effects of four nonionic and two anionic surfactants on cucumber protoplasts were examined by light and electron microscopy. Two nonionic surfactants, polyoxyethylene (POE) (n=10) nonylphenylether and POE (n=5) laurylether, caused swelling of protoplasts, followed by their bursting. The bursting gave more destructive effects preferentially on lamellar structures of chloroplasts than the swe...

Simultaneous Separation of Anionic, Nonionic, Cationic and Amphoteric Surfactants Using a Single HPLC Column

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is the preferred analytical technique for the separation and identification of surfactants in consumer products. Although many HPLC columns are available for surfactant analysis, none of these columns provide optimal selectivity for the analysis of anionic, nonionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants. This article describes an HPLC column, Acclai...

Interactions between Cationic Starch and Anionic Surfactants

Comparison of Anionic, Cationic and Nonionic Surfactants as Dispersing Agents for Graphene Based on the Fluorescence of Riboflavin

Fluorescence quenching is a valuable tool to gain insight about dynamic changes of fluorophores in complex systems. Graphene (G), a single-layered 2D nanomaterial with unique properties, was dispersed in surfactant aqueous solutions of different nature: non-ionic polyoxyethylene-23-lauryl ether (Brij L23), anionic sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), and cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CT...
