The hydration of sodium dehydrocholate micelles
(Springer, 2003-07)
The hydration of micellised sodium dehydrocholate molecules was determined by viscosity measurements. It was found that there are 39 water molecules for each micellised surfactant molecule. About ten water molecules may ...
Experimental and thermodynamic analysis of mixed micelles formed by dodecylethylmethacrylatedimethylammonium bromide and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide
(Elsevier Science, 2021-04-05)
The micellization process of a surfactant system formed by the mixture of two cationic surfactants, a conventional one, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB), and a polymerizable surfactant, methylammonium ...
Are the mixtures of homologous surfactants ideal?
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2006-11)
The interaction between homologous surfactants in mixed micelles was studied by the Regular Solution Theory of mixed micelles. The interaction is independent of the nature of the polar head groups and attractive and the ...
Monitoring the microenvironment inside polymeric micelles using the fluorescence probe 6-propionyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene (PRODAN)
(Elsevier Science, 2021-12)
6-propionyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene (PRODAN) is a fluorescent molecule with sensitivity to environmental polarity and hydrogen bond interactions. Although it has been extensively used to study organized systems such as ...
Characterization of multifunctional reverse micelles' interfaces using hemicyanines as molecular probes. II: Effect of the surfactant
(American Chemical Society, 2009-05)
In this work, we have investigated the behavior of the cationic hemicyanine trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)-styryl]-N-methylpyridinium iodide (HC) in benzene/benzyl-n-hexadecyl dimethylammonium chloride (BHDC)/ water reverse ...
Ethidium bromide and SYBR Green I interact with lipid micelles
(OMICS International, 2017-03)
Ethidium Bromide and SYBR Green I are usual examples of ligands that specifically binds to DNA by intercalation. Here we describe that micelles of gangliosides, a lipidic family of sialoglycosphingolipids which are the ...
Critical micelle concentration of tridecane, tetradecane and hexadecane phosphonic acids and their mono- and disodium salts
(Elsevier Science, 2009-12)
The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of tridecane, tetradecane and hexadecane phosphonic acids and their mono- and disodium salts were determined with a battery of methods. The CMC values for all the studied species ...
Polymeric micelles and nanomedicines: Shaping the future of next generation therapeutic strategies for infectious diseases
(Editions Sante, 2021-12)
Despite all the advances in understanding the pathogenesis of infectious diseases and the development of novel treatments to combat them, these pathogenic disorders are among the most common reasons for hospitalizations ...
The impact of the polar core size and external organic media composition on micelle-micelle interactions: The effect on gold nanoparticle synthesis
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-10)
We report the effect of the molar ratio parameter W0(W0= [water]/[surfactant]) and the external organic media composition on benzyl-n-hexadecyldimethylammonium chloride (BHDC) reverse micelle (RM) interactions, the key ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of AOT-water/formamide reverse micelles: Structural and dynamical properties
(American Institute of Physics, 2009-12)
We present results from molecular dynamics simulations performed on reverse micelles immersed in cyclohexane. Three different inner polar phases are considered: water (W), formamide (FM), and an equimolar mixture of the ...
