Formulation composition has a dramatic influence on coacervate formation in conditioning shampoo. The purpose of this study is to correlate the amount of coacervate formation of novel cationic cassia polymers to the corresponding conditioning profiles on European brown hair using silicone deposition, cationic polymer deposition and sensory evaluation. A design of experiments was conducted by va...

A new series of ester functionalized cationic gemini surfactants having different cationic headgroups (i.e. piperidinium, pyrrolidinium, morpholinium and quaternary ammonium) have been synthesized and characterized using NMR and Mass spectroscopy. These new gemini surfactants were investigated for their micellization and viscosity properties using surface tension, conductivity, fluorescence and...

The interaction of a hydrophobically modified anionic polymer (PMAOVE) with a cationic surfactant (DTAB) was studied using a multi-technique approach: turbidity, surface tension, and viscosity measurements, as well as EPR (5-doxyl stearic acid) and fluorescence (pyrene) probe techniques were used. In the investigated pH range (4-10), the cationic surfactant headgroups interact with the anionic ...

Experimental data are presented on the enhanced solubilities of fluorene (FLR) resulting from solubilization in aqueous solutions of two conventional surfactants: cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) , anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), nonioinic polyethylene glycol dodecyl ether (Brij35) and a cationic gemini bis (hexadecyldimethylammonium) pentane dibromide (G5). The critical mic...

The present work was conducted on the effect of surfactant on the dissolution rate of ibuprofen tablets. The cationic (Cetyl Trimethyl bromide) and anionic (Sodium dodecyl sulphate) surfactant present in the dissolution media have remarkable effect on the dissolution rate of Ibuprofen. Maximum dissolution was obtained in the presence of anionic surfactant (Sodium dodecyl sulphate) at 0.5% conce...

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...

Surfactant-dye interactions are very important in chemical and dyeing processes. The dyes interact strongly with surfactant and show new spectrophotometric properties, so the UV-vis absorption spectrophotometric method has been used to study this process and extract some thermodynamic parameters. In this work, the association equilibrium between ionic dyes and ionic surfactant were studied by a...

The molecular structure and orientation of interfacial water molecules at the air/water interface in the presence of soluble cationic and anionic surfactants has been characterized. We have employed vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) to probe the orientation of interfacial water molecules as a function of both bulk surfactant concentration and solution ion strength. The observed orderi...

experiments were conducted to study the ability of surfactant-modified clinoptilolite for molybdate adsorption from aqueous solutions. clinoptilolite was treated with some cationic surfactants. adsorption of surfactants on zeolite surface was confirmed by chemical analysis, ir (infra-red spectroscopy), dtg (derivative thermogravimetry) and sem (scanning electron microscopy) techniques. the modi...
