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.

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.

We present a fluorescence method that allows one to monitor the kinetics of microemulsion polymerization of very low monomer contents (water-to-monomer ratio can readily be superior to 1000). 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. The real-time-measurement results show that in the regime of very low monomer contents, the surfactant exerted a profound effect on the kinetic process. In a microemulsion containing 0.1 wt% of MMA with respect to water, with the anionic surfactant of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the fast polymerization was preceded by an induction period whose length increased with reducing the concentration of the water-soluble initiator of potassium persulfate (KPS). By contrast, with the non-ionic surfactant of polyoxyethylene (20) oleyl ether (Brij98), the induction period was short and the decrease in the KPS concentration mainly resulted in a decrease of the reaction rate. The unprecedented sensitivity of this fluorescence method made it possible to access kinetic data of microemulsion polymerization with very low monomer contents for the first time, providing new insight into the effects of surfactant and initiator on this heterophase polymerization process.

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).

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.

Kinetics of the oxidation of glutathione (GSH) by micelle Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) trapped tris(benzhydroxamato)iron(III) (TBH) at pH 3.3 and at 298 K has been described. The reaction is first order in TBS and GSH. Increase in pH decreased the rate. Order in H+is one The reaction between TBH and GSH on micellar surface (Stern layer) differs from that occurring in bulk aqueous phase in absence of micelle (SDS). Reactive FeL3species on micellar surface is FeL2+.

Capnocytophaga ochracea acid (AcP; EC 3.1.3.2) and alkaline (AlP; EC 3.1.3.1) phosphatase was isolated by Ribi cell disruption and purified by sodium dodecyl sulphate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE.) Both phosphatases eluted from Sephadex G-150 consistent with molecular weights (migration) of 140 000 and 110 000. SDS–PAGE demonstrated a 72 000 and 55 000 subunit molecular migration for AcP and AlP, respectively. The kinetics of activity of purified AcP and AIP on p-nitrophenol phosphate and phosphoseryl residues of the phosphoproteins are presented.
