Surfactants

Abstract: The term surfactant is a contraction of surface‐active agent. Surfactant has become universally accepted to describe organic substances having certain characteristic features in structure and properties. The term detergent is often used interchangeably with surfactant. As a designation for a substance capable of cleaning, detergent can also encompass inorganic substances when these do in fact perform a cleaning function. More often, detergent refers to a combination of surfactants with other substances, organi… Show more

“…In homogeneous solution, 270 molecules of AOT are distributed with one PIN molecule. The micelle size that expressed experimentally as the number of monomers making up the spherical micelles (aggregation number), is generally between 50 and 100 for ionic surfactant with a radius similar to that of the length of an extended hydrocarbon chain, which associated to form regions from which the solvent (water) is effectively excluded and has properties closely related to the liquid hydrocarbon [24]. According to this reported micelle size, the micelle/PIN molar ratio here is about 4:1, and PIN molecules almost present out of the spherical micelle cavity due to location of the sulfonate groups outside the sphere and to the steric consideration with respect to the size of the dye molecules relative to the cavity presents inside the sphere.…”

“…Η υδρόφοβη ομάδα, από την άλλη πλευρά, λόγω της μη διαλυτότητάς της, αντιτίθεται σε αυτή την τάση. Λόγω του ανταγωνισμού ανάμεσα στις δύο ομάδες η ουσία ούτε διαλύεται απόλυτα ούτε παραμένει αδιάλυτη εντελώς αλλά συγκεντρώνεται στην επιφάνεια υγρού -υγρού όπου συνήθως το μόριο της είναι προσανατολισμένο με τις υδρόφιλες ομάδες προς την υδατική φάση και τις υδρόφοβες προς την μη υδατική [Lynn 2006].…”
