Dynamics of PEO־PPO־PEO block copolymer aggregation and silicate mesophase formation monitored by time־resolved ATR־FTIR spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) technique to perform time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy analysis of the synthesis of SBA-15 silicate is reported. This spectroscopy is a powerful technique to investigate the assembly of surfactants and silicate species as well as surfactant micellization, as infrared bands are sensitive to local polarity and conformation of the surfactant chains. Critical micellization temperature (CMT), a key parameter that determines mesophase synthesis conditions and long-range ordering, is determined by in situ time-resolved ATR-FTIR under the conditions used to synthesize the mesophase. This technique allows also to determine the dynamics of the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of the silicate precursor.

Preparation, Characterization and Pharmacodynamic Evaluation of Fused Dispersions of Simvastatin using PEO-PPO Block Copolymer
The solubility enhancement of poorly soluble compounds is an important task in pharmaceutical technology as it leads to better bioavailability and a more efficient application. Fused dispersions (FDs) of simvastatin (SIM) using PEO-PPO block copolymer were prepared which paved the way for the formation of an amorphous product with enhanced dissolution and bioavailability. The accumulative s...

Abstract Biomolecule adsorption is the first stage of biofouling. The aim of this work was to reduce the adsorption of proteins on stainless steel (SS) and titanium surfaces by modifying them with a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-poly(propylene oxide) (PPO)-PEO triblock copolymer. Anchoring of the central PPO block of the copolymer is known to be favoured by hydrophobic interaction with the substra...

After blending the triblock copolymer, poly(ethylene oxide-b-propylene oxide-b-ethylene oxide) (PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO) with novolac-type phenolic resin, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the ether groups of the PEO block were stronger hydrogen bond acceptors for the OH groups of phenolic resin than were the ether groups of the PPO block. Thermal curing with hexamethylenetetramine ...
