[PMID: 38144148 PMCID: PMC10734291 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
The self-assembly of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecylsulfate, Triton X-100, and sulfobetaine surfactants in aqueous solutions was examined by dynamic light scattering, both in the presence and absence of 0.1 M NaCl salt, across various temperatures. For each surfactant, critical parameters, such as concentration and phase transition temperatures, of micelles were determined by monitoring changes in the hydrodynamic diameter with concentration and temperature. Additionally, we explored the self-assembly behavior of these surfactants when they are introduced alongside polystyrene nanoparticles. Our findings enabled the elucidation of surfactant molecule adsorption mechanisms onto polystyrene nanoparticle surfaces. Furthermore, by analyzing variations in the z-average diameter and zeta potential, we were able to establish the Krafft point, a parameter that remains imperceptible when polystyrene nanoparticles are absent from the solution.

Abstract
The surface adsorption of ionic surfactants is fundamental for many widespread phenomena in life sciences and for a wide range of technological applications. However, direct atomic-resolution structural experimental studies of noncrystalline surface-adsorbed films are scarce. Thus, even the most central physical aspects of these films, such as their charge density, remain uncertain. Consequently, theoretical models based on contradicting assumptions as for the surface films' ionization are widely used for the description and prediction of surface thermodynamics. We employ X-ray reflectivity to obtain the Ångström-scale surface-normal structure of surface-adsorbed films of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solutions at several different temperatures and concentrations. In conjunction with published neutron reflectivity data, we determine the surface-normal charge distribution due to the dissociated surfactants' headgroups. The distribution appears to be inconsistent with the Gouy-Chapman model yet consistent with a compact Stern layer model of condensed counterions. The experimental surfactant adsorption thermodynamics conforms well to classical, Langmuir and Kralchevsky, adsorption models. Furthermore, the Kralchevsky model correctly reproduces the observed condensation of counterions, allowing the values of the adsorption parameters to be resolved, based on the combination of the present data and the published surface tension measurements.

Abstract
The global increase of road infrastructure and its impact on the environment requires serious attention to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly road materials. One group of those materials is produced by using bitumen emulsion. However, there are still scientific and technical obstacles standing against its regular application. The bitumen emulsion formulation process and compositional optimization are subjected to a high number of degrees of freedom. Consequently, obtaining the desired product is mostly based on a series of random and tedious trials because of the enormous number of tests that are carried out to meet the required properties, such as emulsion stability, viscosity, droplet size (and distribution), and bitumen emulsion chemistry. Several pre-established formulation procedures have been presented in the literature. Some of them have technical limitations to be utilized for practical industrial application, whereas others are still not understood enough to be applied in bitumen emulsion formulation. Therefore, discussing some important issues in this field could be useful to offer a practical guide for bitumen emulsion manufacturers when trying to formulate a well-defined bitumen emulsion to best fit its use in pavement infrastructure rather than to simply to meet standard specifications. This review paper aims to enable the ultimate potential of bitumen emulsion by further reviewing the research progress of bitumen emulsion manufacturing and discussing the literature available up to now on this topic, in the realm of bitumen emulsion manufacturing and emulsion chemistry.

Abstract
The self-assembly in aqueous solutions of three quaternary salt-based C16-type cationic surfactants with different polar head groups and identical carbon alkyl chain viz., cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB), cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate (CTAT), and cetyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (CTPPB) in the presence of 1-butanol (BuOH) and 1,4-butanediol (BTD) was investigated using tensiometry, 2D-nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (2D-NOESY) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques. The adsorption parameters and micellar characteristics evaluated at 303.15 K distinctly showed that BuOH promotes the mixed micelle formation while BTD interfered with the micellization phenomenon. The SANS data fitted using an ellipsoid (as derived by Hayter and Penfold using the Ornstein-Zernike equation and the mean spherical approximation) and wormlike micellar models offered an insight into the micelle size/shape and aggregation number (Nagg) in the examined systems. The evaluated descriptors presented a clear indication of the morphology transition in cationic micelles as induced by the addition of the two alcohols. We also offer an investigation into the acceptable molecular interactions governing the differences in micelle morphologies, using the non-invasive 2D-NOESY technique and molecular modeling. The experimental observations elucidated from computational simulation add novelty to this work. Giving an account to the structural complexity in the three cationic surfactants, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed for CPB micelles in an aqueous solution of alcohols that highlighted the micelle solvation and structural transition, which is further complemented in terms of critical packing parameter (PP) for the examined systems.

Abstract
Surfactant-stabilized foams have been at the centre of scientific research for over a century due to their ubiquitous applications in different industries. Many of these applications involve inorganic salts either due to their natural presence (e.g. use of seawater in froth floatation) or their addition (e.g. in cosmetics) to manipulate foam characteristics for the best outcomes. This paper provides a clear understanding of the effect of salts on surfactant-stabilized foams through a critical literature survey of this topic. Available literature shows a double effect of salts (LiCl, NaCl and KCl) on foam characteristics in the presence of surfactants. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the stabilizing effect of salts on foams, the effect of salts on surfactant-free thin liquid films is first discussed, followed by a discussion on the effect of salts on surfactant-stabilized foams with the focus on anionic surfactants. We discuss two distinctive salt concentrations, salt transition concentration in surfactant-free solutions and salt critical concentration in surfactant-laden systems to explain their effects. Using the available data in literature supported by dedicated experiments, we demonstrate the destabilizing effect of salts on foams at and above their critical concentrations in the presence of anionic surfactants. This effect is attributed to retarding the adsorption of the surfactant molecules at the interface due to the formation of nano and micro-scale aggregates.

Gold-Modified Micellar Composites as Colorimetric Probes for the Determination of Low Molecular Weight Thiols in Biological Fluids Using Consumer Electronic Devices. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
This work describes a new, low-cost and simple-to-use method for the determination of free biothiols in biological fluids. The developed method utilizes the interaction of biothiols with gold ions, previously anchored on micellar assemblies through electrostatic interactions with the hydrophilic headgroup of cationic surfactant micelles. Specifically, the reaction of AuCl4− with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) produces an intense orange coloration, due to the ligand substitution reaction of the Br− for Cl− anions, followed by the coordination of the AuBr4− anions on the micelle surface through electrostatic interactions. When biothiols are added to the solution, they complex with the gold ions and disrupt the AuBr4−–CTAB complex, quenching the initial coloration and inducing a decrease in the light absorbance of the solution. Biothiols are assessed by monitoring their color quenching in an RGB color model, using a flatbed scanner operating in transmittance mode as an inexpensive microtiter plate photometer. The method was applied to determine the biothiol content in urine and blood plasma samples, with satisfactory recoveries (i.e., >67.3–123% using external calibration and 103.8–115% using standard addition calibration) and good reproducibility (RSD < 8.4%, n = 3).

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in pure water and ethanol-water mixtures in the presence and absence of MnSO4.6H2O were studied by measuring the conductivity at room temperature. The concentration range of CTAB was ~1.00 × 10-5 M to ~1.00 × 10-2M and the concentration of MnSO4.6H2O was 0.001 M, 0.005 M, 0.01 M. With increasing ethanol content in the solvent composition, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the degree of micellar dissociation (α) of CTAB increased. With the help of CMC and α, the standard free energy of micellization (ΔG m ο ) was evaluated. With an increase in ethanol content, the negative values of ΔG m ο decreased. CTAB micellization was tested in the context of specific solvent parameters. The solvent conductivity ratio at CMC to limiting conductivity was employed as a solvophobic influence. The addition of salt (MnSO4.6H2O) decreases the CMC of CTAB due to the screening of the electrostatic repulsion of the head groups. Here, we report that micellization is strongly influenced by salt concentration.

Abstract
We study the influence of high NaCl concentrations on the equilibrium and dynamic surface tensions of ionic (CTAB) and nonionic (Tween 80) surfactant solutions. Equilibrium surface tension measurements show that NaCl significantly reduces the critical micellar concentration (CMC) of CTAB but has no effect on the CMC of Tween 80. Dynamic surface tension measurements allow comparing the surface tension as a function of time for pure surfactant solutions and in the presence of NaCl. For the ionic surfactant, the dynamics agree with the usual diffusion-limited interfacial adsorption kinetics; however, the kinetics become orders of magnitude slower when NaCl is present. Sum-frequency generation spectroscopy experiments and the equilibrium adsorption measurements show that the presence of NaCl in CTAB solution leads to the formation of ion pairs at the surface, thereby neutralizing the charge of the head group of CTAB. This change, however, is not able to account for the slowing down of adsorption dynamics; we find that it is rather the decreases in the monomer concentration (CMC) in the presence of salt which has the major influence. For the nonionic surfactant, the kinetics of interfacial tension is seen to be already very slow, and the addition of salt does not influence it further. This also correlates very well to the very low CMC of Tween 80.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions are a versatile means to create a variety of consumer products and complex materials. Producing nanoemulsions with a high volume fraction of the dispersed phase is generally limited to mechanically intensive processes, such as high-pressure homogenization, and often results in polydisperse droplet size distributions. Low-energy methods, such as spontaneous emulsification, can produce monodispersed droplets, but the volume fraction of the dispersed phase is usually much lower. Here, we report on the spontaneous emulsification of 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (TPM) into an alkaline aqueous phase (pH > 10.0) that contains surfactants (Tween 20, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)). The nanoemulsions are monodisperse with droplet diameters that range between 15 and 500 nm. The small droplet size is due to the presence of surfactants that stabilize the droplets against coalescence. The spontaneous emulsion process can produce emulsions with a dispersed volume fraction of up to 10% in CTAB solutions and up to 30% using Tween 20 and SDS. After the emulsification process, the TPM droplets can be polymerized to produce nanoparticles. Using dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy, we characterize the relationship between the surfactant concentration and the size of the droplets in the nanoemulsions. We find that the droplet diameter is primarily determined by the molar ratio of oil to surfactant. We also find that the pH in the aqueous phase also modulates the droplet diameter when using an ionic surfactant. This work expands the spontaneous emulsification of TPM in the absence of stabilizing particles to the nanoscale while producing one of the highest volume fractions of nanoemulsion droplets obtained via a low-energy mechanism.
