In the range of ethanol concentration in which it can form small aggregates in the solution, the contact angle values practically do not depend on the composition and concentration of the surfactant mixture.…”

“…The multicomponent surfactant systems are usually applied because they often show a synergetic effect in the water surface tension reduction in comparison to the single-surfactant solutions at the same concentration (Rosen 2004;Szymczyk 2011Szymczyk , 2012Szymczyk and Jańczuk 2010;Bielawska et al 2012). Moreover, there are many organic and inorganic additives which can modify the volumetric and surface properties of the wetting liquid and the short-chain alcohols like methanol or ethanol are the most popular among them (Rosen 2004;Zana 1995;Zdziennicka 2009aZdziennicka , 2010a. Depending on their concentration in the solution they can be treated as cosurfactants or cosolvents and their activity at the solidsolution interface is strongly related with the number of the carbon atoms in their chain and its branching (Rosen 2004;Zana 1995;Zdziennicka 2009aZdziennicka , 2010b.…”

Taking the literature data into account (Zdziennicka 2009b, Zdziennicka and, it seems that the addition of the shortchain alcohol to the aqueous solutions of the mixture of two classical surfactants may strongly improve the wettability of the solid by these solutions by enhancing the synergetic effect in the water surface tension reduction.…”

The contact angle measurements of the aqueous solutions of p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (TX-100) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) mixture with ethanol on nylon-6 were made in the range of the total concentration of CTAB and TX-100 mixture from 1 9 10 -6 to 1 9 10 -3 M and ethanol from 0 to 17.13 M. In the CTAB and TX-100 mixture the mole fraction of TX-100 was equal to 0; 0.2; 0.4; 0.6; 0.8 and 1. On the basis of the obtained results, the critical surface tension of nylon-6 wetting was determined from the dependence of cosine of contact angle and the adhesion tension as a function of the surface tension of the solution. This tension was compared to the components and parameters of nylon-6 surface tension taken from literature and discussed in the light of the surface excess concentration of the surface active agents at the nylon-6-solution interface calculated from the Lucassen-Reynders equation and the Gibbs isotherm.

“…(This results from interactions between the surfactant monomers and the probes, which alter the micellization process. Therefore, the influence of ethanol [21] and n-DSA probes on surface tension and on CMC values was investigated. The addition of n-DSA primarily dissolved in ethanol decreases clearly the surface tension below the CMC (Fig.…”

Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) of the nitroxide labelled fatty acid probes (5-, 16-doxyl stearic acid) was used to monitor the micelle microviscosity of three surfactants at various concentrations in aqueous solution: sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). At low surfactant concentration, there is no micelle, the ESR probe is dissolved in water/surfactant homogeneous phase and gives his microviscosity. At higher surfactant concentration, an abrupt increase in microviscosity indicates the apparition of micelles and, the solubilization of the probes in micelles. The microviscosity of the three surfactants, in a large surfactant range, was obtained as well as the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The microviscosity increased slightly with the increase in surfactant concentration. Phosphate buffer lowered the CMC value and generally increased the microviscosity.

“…It has been reported that EG can work in the role of both co-surfactant and co-solvent in the surfactant-water system 26 . Here, the addition of EG is very crucial in the formation of ultrathin 2D metal oxide nanosheets, as it can lead to a more stable lamellar phase compared with the binary surfactant-water system 25,26 . Hydrothermal or solvothermal treatment is then carried out to improve the organization and induce complete condensation and crystallization.…”

Generalized self-assembly of scalable two-dimensional transition metal oxide nanosheets

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal oxide systems present exotic electronic properties and high specific surface areas, and also demonstrate promising applications ranging from electronics to energy storage. Yet, in contrast to other types of nanostructures, the question as to whether we could assemble 2D nanomaterials with an atomic thickness from molecules in a general way, which may give them some interesting properties such as those of graphene, still remains unresolved. Herein, we report a generalized and fundamental approach to molecular self-assembly synthesis of ultrathin 2D nanosheets of transition metal oxides by rationally employing lamellar reverse micelles. It is worth emphasizing that the synthesized crystallized ultrathin transition metal oxide nanosheets possess confined thickness, high specific surface area and chemically reactive facets, so that they could have promising applications in nanostructured electronics, photonics, sensors, and energy conversion and storage devices.
