The Interaction Between Sodium Dodecylsulfate (SDS) and Eriochrome Azurol B (ECAB) or Chromazurol S (CAS)

Introduction In our previous papers,we reported that SDS could produce a strong enhancment effect on chromogenic reaction systems,such as Be;-ECAB,Al;-ECAB,Cu;-ECAB and Pd;-ECAB,but made no effect on the absorption spectra of the systems if ECAB was replaced by CAS.So far, no report on the solubilizing and enhancment effect of anionic surfactant on metallic-acidic triphenylmethane dye system studied by means of NMR has been published.In this paper the interaction be-

Heavy Metal Removal from Water by Adsorption Using Pillared Montmorillonite

Removal of Cu^2＋, Cr^3＋ and Cd^2＋ from aqueous solutions by adsorption on montmorillonite modified by sodium dodecylsulfate （SDS） and hydroxy-alumino-silicate （HAS） was investigated. Experiments were carried out as a function of solution pH, solute concentration, and time. The Langmuir model was adopted to describe the single-solute adsorption isotherm, in which the Langmuir parameters were directly taken from those obtained in single-solute systems. The kinetics of metal ions adsorption was examined and the pseudo-first-order rate constant was finally evaluated.

Fluorescence Spectra of Model Compounds for Light-emitting Alternating Copolymers in Heterogeneous Environments

In this paper, the fluorescence spectra of model compounds of light-emitting alternating copolymers. M (TPA-PPV) and M (TPA-PAV) (Scheme 1) were studied and the effect of KNO3 on the interaction between model compounds and ionic micelle-watts interface was also investigated. It is found that (I) The fluorescence changes of M (TPA-PPV) are related to the state of CTAB and SDS solution. (II)Aggregated state can be formed in M (TPA-PAV) solution at low concentration of CTAB. (III) Higher concentration of KNO3 may affect the interaction between model compounds and ionic micelle-water interface.

Effect of Penicillin G Potassium Salt on the Physicochemical Properties of SDS Aqueous Solution and the Release of the Salt in SDS/n-CsH11OH/H2O System

The effects of penicillin potassium salt （PenK） on the solubility, Krafft temperature TK, critical micelle concentration CMC of SDS micelle and the phase behavior of SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O system were studied. The partial phase diagrams of SDS/PenK/H2O system at different temperatures were determined. The release amounts of PenK in SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O system and the distribution coefficient of PenK between micelle and water were measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results show that in the presence of PenK, the CMC of SDS was decreased while the TK of SDS was increased and the solubility of SDS in both water and SDS/n-C5H11OH/H2O oil in water （O/W） microemulsion was decreased, but increased in water in oil （W/O） microemulsion. SDS micelles and SDS/n- C5H11OH/H20 O/W microemulsion could accelerate the release rate of PenK. The addition of SDS and water could both increase the release rate of PenK, whereas the presence of n-C5H11OH reduced the release rate of PenK. The above results were related to the electrostatic repulsion between PenK and SDS.

Chitosan-collagen/organomontmorillonite scaffold for bone tissue engineering

A novel composite scaffold based on chitosan-collagenlorganomontmo- rillonite （CS-COL/OMMT） was prepared to improve swelling ratio, biodegradation ratio, biomineralization and mechanical properties for use in tissue engineering applications. In order to expend the basal spacing, montmorillonite （MMT） was modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate （SDS） and was characterized by XRD, TGA and FTIR. The results indicated that the anionic surfactants entered into interlayer of MMT and the basal spacing of MMT was expanded to 3.85 nm. The prepared composite scaffolds were characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM. The swelling ratio, biodegradation ratio and mechanical properties of composite scaffolds were also studied. The results demonstrated that the scaffold decreased swelling ratio, degradation ratio and improved mechanical and biomineralization properties because of OMMT.
