NOTE: The correct reference list was added to this article on 08/07/2014.Viscosity measurement of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in presence and in absence of KCl and NaCl in aqueous media is done. The results showed a sharp increase in viscosity with increase in concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Also, the viscosity increases with addition of salts. The viscosity of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is found more in presence of KCl than NaCl in aqueous media. In presence of monovalent salts, the critical micelle concentration (cmc) value decreases which is explained on the basis of nature and ionic strength of the added ion. The graphs of viscosity versus concentration are used in determining the critical micelle concentration (cmc). DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v11i0.10392BIBECHANA 11(1) (2014) 131-135

NOTE: on 27th May 2014 in the abstract, the sentence"The surface tension of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is found less in presence of KCl than NaCl in aqueous media" was changed to read "The surface tension of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is found more in presence of KCl than NaCl in aqueous media."In the Conclusion (p.56) the sentence"The surface tension of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is found less in presence of KCl than NaCl in aqueous media." was changed to read"The surface tension of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is found more in presence of KCl than NaCl in aqueous media." Precise measurements on Surface tension of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in presence and in absence of KCl and NaCl in aqueous media are reported. The results showed a sharp decrease in surface tension with increase in concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and then almost constant value of surface tension was observed. Also, the surface tension decreases with addition of salts. The surface tension of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is found less in presence of KCl than NaCl in aqueous media. In presence of monovalent salts, the critical micelle concentration (cmc) value decreases which is explained on the basis of the orientation of the surfactant and reduction of the free energy of the surface, thus decreasing surface tension. The graphs of surface tension versus concentration are used in determining the critical micelle concentration (cmc). BIBECHANA 10 (2014) 52-57 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v10i0.9311

Conductance measurement of sodium dodecylsulfate in the presence and in the absence of Na2SO4 and ZnSO4 in aqueous media was done. The results showed sharp increase in conductance with increase in concentration of sodium dodecylsulfate. Also, the conductance increases with addition of salts. The conductance of sodium dodecylsulfate is found more in the presence of Na2SO4 than ZnSO4 in aqueous media. In the presence of salts, the critical micelle concentration (cmc) value decreases which are explained on the basis of the nature and ion size of the added ion. The graph of conductance versus concentration is used in determining the critical micelle concentration (cmc).Scientific World, Vol. 12, No. 12, September 2014, page 41-43

Viscosity and surface tension measurements of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in presence and absence of Na2SO4 and MgSO4 in aqueous media are reported. The results showed an increase in viscosity with increase in concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in presence and absence of salts where as the decrease in surface tension with increase in concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in presence and absence of salts. The viscosity of CTAB was observed lowest in pure water and increases in presence of MgSO4 and then more increases in presence of Na2SO4 where as the surface tension of CTAB was observed highest in pure water and decreases in presence of Na2SO4 and then more decreases in presence of MgSO4.The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of CTAB decreases in presence of salts in both viscosity and surface tension measurements. The decreasing cmc of CTAB are found to be more in the presence of Na2SO4 in comparison with the presence of MgSO4 for both measurements. The graphs of viscosity versus log[C] and the surface tension versus log[C] are used in determining the critical micelle concentration (cmc).        BIBECHANA 14 (2017) 77-85

Conductivity measurement of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide in the presence of Brij-35 in aqueous media at 289.15 K is performed. The result showed a sharp increase in conductivity with increase in the concentration of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide in the presence of Brij-35. The graph of specific conductivity versus concentration is used in determining the critical micelle concentration (CMC). There is the decrease in CMC of  dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide in the presence of  Brij-35 in comparison with the CMC of  dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide [DTAB]. Gibbs free energy of micellisation has also been evaluated.   BIBECHANA 15 (2018) 85-89

A sensitive cataluminescence-based detecting technology using nanosized Mo4V6Ti10O47 as a probe was proposed for determination of formaldehyde in air. Trace formaldehyde was firstly absorbed on active carbon at room temperature to concentrate, then desorbed at 75°C to determine. The method showed high selectivity to formaldehyde at wavelength of 575nm, satisfying activity at temperature of 260°C and good stability at carrier flow rate of 145 ml/min. The linear range of CTL intensity versus concentration of formaldehyde was 0.04~78 mg/m3, and the detection limit (3σ) was 0.02 mg/m3. The recovery of artificial sample was 96.8%-103.4% by this method. There was no response to CO, CO2, SO2, NH3, methanol, ethanol, benzene, toluene and xylenes.

AbstractInkjet printing of enzymes can facilitate many novel applications where a small amount of materials need to be deposited in a precise and flexible manner. However, maintaining the satisfactory activity of inkjet printed enzyme is a challenging task due to the requirements of ink rheology and printhead parameters. Thus to find optimum inkjetting conditions we studied the effects of several ink formulation and jetting parameters on lysozyme activity using a piezoelectric printhead. Within linear activity range of protein concentrations ink containing 50 µg/mL lysozyme showed a satisfactory activity retention of 85%. An acceptable activity of jetted ink was found at pH 6.2 and ionic strength of 0.06 molar. Glycerol was found to be an effective viscosity modifier (10–15 mPa.s), humectant and protein structure stabilizer for the prepared ink. A non-ionic surfactant when used just below critical micelle concentration was found to be favourable for the jetted inks. An increase in activity retention was observed for inks jetted after 24 hours of room temperature incubation. However, no additional activity was seen for inkjetting above the room temperature. Findings of this study would be useful for formulating other protein-based inks and setting their inkjet printing parameters without highly compromising the functionality.
