Aggregation behavior of DBSA, in water was investigated, showing a concentration-driven micelle-to-vesicle transition. Interestingly, wet–dry cycles can induce micelle-to-vesicle transition and multilamellar vesicle formation.

Six commercial disinfectants were tested for their efficacy in inactivating hepatitis A virus in solution or attached to agri-food surfaces. Disinfectant I contains 10% quaternary ammonium plus 5% glutaraldehyde;disinfectant II contains 12% sodium hypochlorite; disinfectant III contains 2.9% dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid plus 16% phosphoric acid; disinfectant IV contains 10% quaternary ammonium; disinfectant V contains 2% iodide; and disinfectant VI contains 2% stabilized chlorine dioxide. Among these, disinfectants I and II were shown to be the most effective in inactivating hepatitis A virus in solution. The efficacy of these disinfectants was further tested against hepatitis A virus attached to common agri-food surfaces, including polyvinyl chlorine, high-density polyethylene, aluminum, stainless steel, and copper. Disinfectant II was shown to be the most effective, with a maximum inactivation level of about 3 log10. The inactivation efficacy was shown to be affected by the concentration of the active ingredient, the contact time between the disinfectant and the contaminated surfaces, and the incubation temperature. In general, hepatitis A virus was shown to be highly resistant to most disinfectants tested, and high concentrations of active ingredient were needed to achieve acceptable inactivation levels.

AbstractIn this work, poly(3-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was synthesized on glass by spin coating for 10 seconds at 500 rpm and polymerization was carried out in an oven at 110°C for 10 min. Methanol and water mixture were used as the solvent and dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) as the surfactant. The conductivities of films were measured and their relationship with different solvent or various surfactant contents were discussed. The morphology of films was observed by SEM, and PEDOT synthesized in methanol-rich solvents or with less DBSA content had more smooth surfaces, showed lower degradation temperature (by TGA). Also, PEDOT synthesized in methanol-rich solvents or with less DBSA were doped better, as observed by UV-Vis spectra.

Blends of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid-doped polyaniline (PANI-DBSA) with either polyacrylonitrile copolymer (PAN) or polystyrene (PS) were solution cast. The investigation focused on the interaction between the components, the morphology and the resulting electrical conductivity of blends. The results showed that with the same PANI-DBSA content the conductivity of PANI-DBSA/PAN was higher than that of PANI-DBSA/PS. PANI-DBSA was dispersed uniformly in the PAN matrix and its cluster size was rather smaller than in the PS matrix. This is attributed to hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl groups in PAN and the imine groups in PANI, which should lead to better compatibility between PANI-DBSA and PAN.

AbstractIt was found that a comb-like complex consisting of poly[2-(N,Ndimethylamino) ethyl acrylate] (PDAEA) and p-dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) formed mesomorphically ordered lamellar phase at room temperature where PDAEA and DBSA are in molten state. The lamellar phase shows optical anisotropy, although the individual components are always isotropic. In addition it is found that the optical anisotropy of the PDAEA-DBSA complex completely disappears with accompanying order-disorder transition of the lamellar morphology with elevating temperature.
