This study aims to determine the levels of methylene blue active substances (MBAS) and ethyl violet active substances (EVAS) as anionic surfactants and of disulphine blue active substances (DBAS) as cationic surfactants in the surface microlayer (SML) around an estuarine area using colorimetric methods. The results show that the concentrations of surfactants around the estuarine area were domin...

Sugarand oligo(ethylene oxide)-based surfactants behave quite differently despite of both being non-ionic surfactants. In a large number of studies the properties and behaviour of these two different kinds of surfactants were addressed. However, it was only recently that an extensive investigation has been carried out on the properties of respective mixtures focussing on mixtures of β-C12G2 (n-...

WEBB, GEORGE Il. Efects of surfactants on the twitch tension uf frog sartorius muscle. Am. J. Physiol. 207(2) : 397-401. 196+--Many types of cells show permeability increases to ions and to various uncharged molecules when exposed to surface-active agents (surfactants) . Nonionic surfactants are less effective than ionic surf’actants in increasing permeability and in depolarizing nerve and musc...

When two or more surfactants are mixed, the mixed system exhibits improved performance compared with a single surfactant in solution. The Markov chain model can analyze critical micelle concentration (CMC) of micelles, yielding results similar to those simple mixture model, which is typically referred as “regular solution theory”. In this study, hypotheses were tested: (1) for ternary systems b...

the influences of anionic sodium dodecylsulfate (sds) and cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (htab) surfactants on the incorporation and distribution of barium hexaferrite nanoparticles in the electrodeposited cofe-bafe12o19 composite thin films were studied. sulphate bathes with natural ph containing 0 to 2 g/l surfactants were used for electroplating at room temperature. field emissi...

CMC (critical micelle concentration) is lowest concentration when micelle was created in aqueous solution of surfactant. In this study, we collected CMC data to develop the QSPR model of gemini surfactants from literatures. Gemini surfactants are composed of two monomeric surfactant molecules linked by a spacer chain. Gemini surfactants can self-assemble at concentrations almost a hundred-fold ...

conclusions the most effective enhancer for aha and ha were liquid paraffin and glycerol, respectively. the most effective surfactant for both aha and ha was tween 80. the effects of the enhancers were increased by prolonging the exposure time. results after 1.5 and 12 hours, the maximum permeated amount of aha were 89.8 and 342.5 mg, respectively, which related to the formulations with liquid ...

Silicone surfactants are becoming increasingly important in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, because of their versatility, low cost, and technological advantages. The present study was designed to measure the critical micellar concentration of three non-ionic silicone surfactants, one water-soluble and two lipid-soluble. We measured surface tension with a technique based on drop geomet...

Many ionic surfactants with wide applications in personal-care and house-hold detergency show limited water solubility at lower temperatures (Krafft point). This drawback can be overcome by using mixed solutions, where the surfactant is incorporated micelles another surfactant, which soluble temperatures. The electrolytic conductivity for a binary mixture of anionic methyl ester sulfonates (MES...

Static and quasielastic light-scattering measurements were utilized to investigate the shape, size, and polydispersity of mixed micelles composed of the nonionic surfactants dodecyl hexaoxyethylene glycol monoether (C12E6) and dodecyl octaoxyethylene glycol monoether (C12E8) in aqueous solutions. We determined the molecular weight and diffusion coefficient of these micelles and showed that they...
