Physicochemical and solution properties of quaternary-ammonium-salt-type amphiphilic gemini ionic liquids with spacers containing oxygen or nitrogen
2020, Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering AspectsCitation Excerpt :For example, Zana et al. reported the effects of the spacer chain length on the aggregation properties in an aqueous solution of quaternary-ammonium-salt-type cationic gemini surfactants C12-s-C12. The aggregates formed by C12-s-C12 changed from wormlike micelles to vesicles as the chain lengths of the spacers increased [19–21]. In addition, Bordes et al. reported that the CMC values of surfactants with spacers of the same hydrophobicity and possessing the same distance between hydrophilic groups were approximately the same [22].
Effect of the spacer length on the electrostatic interactions of cationic gemini surfactant micelles with trianionic curcumin
2013, Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering AspectsCitation Excerpt :Like in the micelles of C12CsC12Br2 (s = 2–4), only two negative charges of Cur3− bind to the headgroups from two neighboring aggregated C12C12C12Br2 molecules by electrostatic attraction, except one side negative charge in the phenolic part of Cur3−. Meanwhile, compared to the surfactants of C12CsC12Br2 (s = 2–6), the much long spacer in C12C12C12Br2 makes the two ionic headgroups more separated and reduces the charge density of surfactant headgroups to a greater extent, as suggested by the reported data of micelle ionization degree and zeta potential of C12CsC12Br2 micelles [40,41]. Therefore, the electrostatic attraction of Cur3− with C12C12C12Br2 micelle is weaker than C12C6C12Br2 micelle.
Contribution of <sup>1</sup>H NMR to the investigation of the adsorption of cationic Gemini surfactants with oligooxyethylene spacer group onto silica
2009, Journal of Colloid and Interface ScienceCitation Excerpt :For these purposes, it is essential to shed light on the adsorption mechanism, which depends simultaneously on the nature of the adsorbing species, the properties of the solid surface and the composition of the aqueous solution. Previous study showed that the adsorption process of 12-s-12 gemini surfactants on the raw and modified silica surface (SiNa, SiH) were closely related to the spacer length [24]. The adsorbed amount at the surface saturation plateau decreased as the size of the spacer group was lengthened.
Synergistic adsorption of mixtures of cationic gemini and nonionic sugar-based surfactant on silica
2009, Journal of Colloid and Interface ScienceCitation Excerpt :Since the early 1990's, when the unique properties of gemini surfactants were first reported, there has been considerable interest in them both in the academic and industrial circles [1–5]. Some of the major research work was focused on the characterization of individual gemini surfactants, especially on the effects of structural variations within the gemini surfactants on their solution and adsorption properties, including micellization/aggregation, micellar size, surfactant conformation, and adsorption on various solids [6–21]. As conventional surfactants, geminis can be used in many consumer products such as cleansing, cosmetic, personal care and pharmaceutical products and as micellar catalysts with superior efficacy.
