Molecular dynamics simulation of interactions between a sodium dodecyl sulfate micelle and a poly(ethylene oxide) polymer.

Effect of headgroup size, charge, and solvent structure on polymer-micelle interactions, studied by molecular dynamics simulations.

We performed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of anionic and cationic micelles in the presence of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) to understand why nonionic water-soluble polymers such as PEO interact strongly with anionic micelles but only weakly with cationic micelles. Our micelles include sodium n-dodecyl sulfate (SDS), n-dodecyl trimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), n-dodecyl ammonium chlor...

Interactions between a series of pyrene end-labeled poly(ethylene oxide)s and sodium dodecyl sulfate in aqueous solution probed by fluorescence.

The interactions between a series of poly(ethylene oxide)s covalently labeled at both ends with pyrene pendants (PEO(X)-Py2, where X represents the number-average molecular weight of the PEO chains and equals 2K, 5K, 10K, and 16.5K) and an ionic surfactant, namely, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), in water were investigated at a fixed pyrene concentration of 2.5 μM corresponding to polymer concent...

Decoration of semidilute polymer solutions with surfactant micelles

2014 Aqueous polymer solutions can be decorated with surfactant micelles which bind to the polymer strands. The elementary process wraps a section of a macromolecule around a micelle ; if the macromolecule is long enough, it clothes many micelles and connects them by free strands. Here we consider semidilute polymer solutions, where macromolecules of poly (ethylene oxide) form an irregular web ...

Poly(Ethylene Oxide) Based Bottle-Brush Polymers and their Interaction with the Anionic Surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate: Solution and Interfacial Properties

Miscibility of sodium chloride and sodium dodecyl sulfate in the adsorbed film and aggregate

The adsorption, micelle formation, and salting out of sodium dodecyl sulfate in the presence of sodium chloride were studied from the viewpoint of their mixed adsorption and aggregate formation. The surface tension of aqueous solutions of a sodium chloride-sodium dodecyl sulfate mixture was measured as a function of the total molality and composition of the mixture. Phase diagrams of adsorption...
