A simple and economic method of synthesis of silver colloid nanoparticles with controlled size is presented. By reduction of [Ag(NH3)2] complex in sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) micellar solution with three various reducing agents (hydrazine, formalin and ascorbic acid) the nanoparticles were produced with size below 20 nm. The average size, size distribution, morphology, and structure of particle...

Viscoelastic solutions formed in a catanionic surfactant system of dodecyltriethylammonium bromide (DTEAB)/sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) at the molar ratio of 27/73 were systematically studied using a combination of rheology and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Wormlike micelles began to form above the total surfactant concentration (C(total)) of 120 mM by the growth of small cylindrical micelles....

We report on the phase transitions, solution structure, and consequent effect on the photophysical properties of poly[3-(6-trimethylammoniumhexyl)thiophene] bromide (P3TMAHT) in aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). Polythiophene was mixed with SDS or deuterated SDS to form P3TMAHT(SDS)(x) complex (x = the molar ratio of surfactant over monomer units) in D(2)O and studied by small-angle neutron ...

A thiamine-binding protein was purified from the extract of rice bran acetone powder by conventional procedures of acid precipitation, a series of column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and DEAE-cellulose, and gel filtration of Sephadex G-200. The purified thiamine-binding protein was nearly homogeneous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis and the molecular weight was estimated to be 94,0...

Complexation of thiazorylazododecylphenol (TADP) with Ni2+ at the surface of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) micelles has been spectrophotometrically studied. Complicated spectral changes are analyzed by a factor and multivariate analysis, which implies the formation of [TDAP(OH-)Ni]0 as well as a simple 1:1 complex of Ni2+ with TDAP at the micellar interface. All of the equilibrium constants requi...

Intravenous injection of heparin (100 U/kg) into normal volunteers resulted in an increase of platelet factor 4 (PF4) level in platelet-poor plasma from a mean value of 1 8.1 ± 6.6 ng/ml before the injection to 257.9 ± 68.3 ng/ml at 5 mm after injection. PF4 antigen isolated from “postheparin plasma” by adsorption on heparin-agarose and elution with 2.0 M NaCI and “authentic PF4” isolated from ...

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...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the medium-term results (4 years) of decellularized allografts during Ross Operation. METHODS From January 2003 to February 2007, 68 patients underwent Ross Operation with decellularized allografts. Forty eight were male and the mean age was 30.3+/-11.2 years. Decellularization was done with deoxicolic acid (DOA) in 35 cases and with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) in 33. Fo...

The partition of phylloquinone (vitamin K J, of chlorophylls a and b and of the two main carotenoids, /?-carotene and lutein, in subthylakoid particles (digitonin treatment) and chlorophyll protein complexes (sodium dodecylsulfate polyamide-gel electrophoresis) isolated from tobacco chloroplasts (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is described. 1. The “light particle” fractions (S 90000, S 150000) of digito...
