The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an alcohol-based caries detector (Kurakay) on the surface tension of a conventional sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) preparation, and a product containing a surface-active agent (Chlor-XTRA). The surface tensions of the following solutions were tested: NaOCl, a mixture of NaOCl and Kurakay 9:1 w/w, Chlor-XTRA, a mixture of Chlor-XTRA and Kurakay 9:1 w/w. Ten measurements per test solution were made at 20 C, using an optical method called the "Pendant drop method", with a commercially available apparatus. The addition of Kurakay reduced the surface tension for NaOCl (p<0.05) whilst no significant difference was detected for Chlor-XTRA (p>0.05). Statistically significant differences between the NaOCl and Chlor-XTRA groups were found (p<0.05). The addition of an alcohol-based caries detector resulted in a reduction of the original surface tension values for NaOCl only. Taking into account the fact that mixtures of NaOCl and Kurakay have been used to assess the penetration of root canal irrigants in vitro, the related changes in surface tension are a possible source of bias.

AbstractWe study the Marangoni propulsion of a spheroidal particle located at a liquid–gas interface. The particle asymmetrically releases an insoluble surface-active agent and so creates and maintains a surface tension gradient leading to the self-propulsion. Assuming that the surface tension has a linear dependence on the concentration of the released agent, we derive closed-form expressions for the translational speed of the particle in the limit of small capillary, Péclet and Reynolds numbers. Our derivations are based on the Lorentz reciprocal theorem, which eliminates the need to develop the detailed flow field.

Obat kumur dapat digunakan untuk dua tujuan. Mereka bersifat terapeutik dan kosmetik. Bersifat terapeutik pada pembedahan mulut atau mencuci, untuk mengurangi plak, radang gusi, karies gigi, dan stomatitis.Surfaktan digunakan karena dapat membantu pelarut rasa dan menghilangkan kotoran dengan memberikan tindakan berbusa. Agen pembasah (wetting agent) didefinisikan sebagai senyawa yang mempunyai aktifitas permukaan (surface active agent) sehingga dapat menurunkan tegangan permukaan (surface tension) antara udara – cairan dan cairan – cairan yang terdapat dalam suatu sistem.Jadi obat kumur merupakan pembersih tambahan dan bukan pengganti. Pada akhirnya, obat kumur hanya berfungsi untuk "penyegar" mulut.Keyword : obat kumur, radang, aktivitas permukaan, mulut

Nowadays, one of the more perspective technologies for oil recovery increase in the fields with heavy oils is formation of intrastratal emulsion. The paper presents the research on the increase of oil recovery in the fields with heavy oil via injection of combined composition based on the viscosity minimizer and surface active agent. Obtained composition allows significantly increase the stability of intrastratal emulsion, dramatically reducing the values of surface tension in the border of oil/water. The analysis of synergetic efficiency for suggested composition on the emulsion stability, surface tension and rheological properties has been carried out. More efficient concentrations of composition components have been specified. Obtained results have been justified with experiments on the replacement of high viscous oil from Galmaz field on the sand packed tubes of reservoir.

To investigate the Application Performances of the anionic gemini surfactant Ethanediyl-α,ω-bis(sodium N-lauroyl-β-alaninate)(EBLA) as silk degumming auxiliaries, the surface activity of the gemini surfactant was measured by the surface tension method. The dependence of degumming rate on surfactant concentration and degumming time were discussed, and the whiteness, tensile strength and capillary effect of the degummed silk fabric were measured. The results revealed that the gemini surfactant possessed excellent surface activities and its degumming effect was pretty good, the critical micelle concentration(CMC) of EBLA was 4.74×10-5 mol·dm-3, and the surface tension at the CMC(γCMC) of it was 26.6 mN·m-1. With lower dosage of the surface active agent and shorter degumming time, the perform indexes of the fabric degummed by the gemini surfactant EBLA were better than those of the fabric degummed by marseille soap.

Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acid

Surface active agent (surfactant) is a substance or a blend of substances that lower the surface tension or interfacial tension between two liquids. It contains both hydrophobic groups (its tail) and hydrophilic groups (its head). Surfactants lower the surface tension of a liquid by spreading spontaneously over its surface. To understand its suitability for raw material of surfactant, the seed of Morinda citrifolia L is extracted for its fatty acid contents and evaluated for its spreading ability into other liquid. Its fatty acid contents are analyzed by FTIR and GCMS method and its spreading ability is evaluated by its diffusion characteristic using Helle Shaw Cell. From FTIR it is known that the oil seed of Morinda citrifolia has functional groups suitable for the hydrophobic part of surfactant. From GCMS it is known that the seed of Morinda citrifolia L contains huge amount of poly unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) of C19:2 suitable for the hydrophobic part of surfactant. From diffusion experiment using Hele Shaw Cell it is known that the spreading ability of its PUFA in oil phase is approaching its commercial synthetic surfactant has but it is not in water phase.

ABSTRACT Aim This study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and BioPure MTAD when used as a final rinse against Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and methods Sixty single-rooted premolars were biomechanically prepared, inoculated with E. faecalis and divided into various groups. These were then irrigated with the test irrigants and tested microbiologically for growth of E. faecalis immediately after irrigation and after 48 hours. Results Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the antibacterial activities of BioPure MTAD, 2% CHX and 5.25% NaOCl at 5 minutes; however, the antibacterial activities of the three irrigants were comparable after 2 days of irrigation Conclusion The present study concludes that BioPure MTAD is as effective against E. faecalis as 5.25% NaOCl and more effective than 2% CHX. Clinical significance E. faecalis is one of the most resistant intracanal species and a possible cause of root canal failure. Many authors have stressed the importance of using antimicrobial irrigants during chemomechanical preparation to ensure complete disinfection. Therefore, various irrigating solutions have been used during and immediately after root canal preparation to remove debris and necrotic pulp tissue and to eliminate microorganisms that cannot be reached by mechanical instrumentation.

Dogs fed a regular diet were given intravenously 250 mg of Triton WR-1339 (a nonionic surface active agent) every 4th day. When sustained lipemia developed, their plasma free fatty acid (FFA) response to epinephrine and glusose was studied and compared with that of normal animals. The time course of the rise (epinephrine) or fall (glucose) of the plasma FFA was similar in the two groups of animals. The Triton-treated dogs had, however, plasma FFA levels twice as high as normals. Plasma FFA, which in control dogs were bound principally to albumin, were mostly associated in the Triton-treated animals with the low-density ß-lipoproteins. A partial shift of FFA from albumin to ß-lipoproteins could be produced in vitro by addition of Triton to normal canine serum.
