Nano-sized nickel particles have been synthesized by a bottom-up approach, using hydrazine as the reducing agent in the presence of an anionic surfactant - sodium-dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The effect of adding a nonionic polymer -polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with an anionic surfactant has been studied at two different temperatures; the rate of reduction increased as the reaction temperature was increased from 60 to 100°C. These nano-aggregated nickel particles were characterized by using SEM with EDX facilities and TEM. TEM characterization showed the presence of spherical Ni particles as fine as 10nm in diameter. However, the SEM images showed a very spiky morphology, very small spherical shaped objects were clearly observed within these spiky structures. The combination of SDS/PVP reaction produced nano-sized nickel particles which were much finer than the reactions where SDS was used on its own. PVP has shown some dispersion power, and was found to be capable of preventing nickel particles from gradual agglomeration.  Keywords: Bottom-up; SDS; PVP; 10 nm. © 2010 JSR Publications.

AbstractIn this manuscript was investigated behaviour of drug valsartan by micellar media of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate. As the method was used electrical conductivity for the determination of critical micelle concentration at different temperatures (T = 293.15 - 313.15 K), as well as calculated thermodynamic parameters like standard Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy of micellization. According to contribution of Gibbs free energy is the process of micellization primarily controlled by entropy. Solubilization of valsartan was studied in surfactant system at 298.15 K and physiological conditions pH 7.4 using UV-spectrophotometry at different concentration range (0.001 - 0.07 mol/l) of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The solubilization of drug was observed with increasing concentration of surfactant in aqueous solution.

In this paper, we followed the kinetics of methyl methacrylate (MMA) through a novel fluorescence method. The real-time measurement results show that in the regime of very low monomer contents, such as a solution containing 0.1 wt% of MMA with respect to water and with the anionic surfactant of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), the kinetic of the miniemulsion could be followed by this embed fluorescence method. The processes of changing from emulsion to miniemulsion with different amount of surfactant and cosurfactant also have been monitored.

Abstract The absorption of an anionic surfactant - sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by a Elodea canadensis was studied. Macrophyte (20 g/L wet weight) reduced the concentration of this surfactant from 2 mg/L by 90% within 2 days. A negative effect of SDS on the elimination of ammonium nitrogen by E. canadensis was shown with its content from 1·10-4 M. Thus, in the presence of 1·10-4 M SDS, E. canadensis reduced the concentration of ammonium nitrogen by 51% of the initial value in 2 days (in the control - without surfactants - 92% of the pollutant was absorbed).

In this paper, we present a novel embed fluorescence method that allows one to monitor the change from emulsion polymerization to microemulsion polymerization with low monomer contents. The microemulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was investigated using N-(2-anthracene) methacrylamide (AnMA) as the probe whose fluorescence emission intensity was proportional to the conversion of MMA into the polymer.In this research, the trace amount of AnMA unit looked like embed in the MMA chain. In a solution containing 3wt% of MMA with respect to water, with the anionic surfactant of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and water-soluble initiator of potassium persulfate (KPS), the process of changing from emulsion to microemulsion has been monitored. By contrast, with the non-ionic surfactant of polyoxyethylene (20) oleyl ether (Brij98) or water-insoluble initiator of 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN), the process of changing from emulsion to microemulsion also have been monitored.

Precise measurements on the specific conductivity of cationic surfactant (Dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide) and anionic surfactant (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate) in methanol water mixed solvent media containing 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 volume fractions of methanol are reported at 308.15 K. Specific conductivities of Dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide and Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate increase with increase in concentration and decrease with increase in the volume fractions of methanol.  Critical micelle concentration (cmc) increases with increase in volume fraction of methanol in case of both surfactants. Free energy of micellization (ΔGºm) has been calculated. Increase in cmc with increase in volume fractions of methanol has been explained in terms of breaking of structure of water due to co-solvent effect.Keywords: Critical micelle concentration; methanol-water mixed solvent media; Specific conductivity; Dodecyltrimethylammonium Bromide; Sodiumdodecyl SulphateDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v8i0.4883  BIBECHANA 8 (2012) 37-45
