Synthesis and aggregation behaviour of a new sultaine surfactant

Kinetics and Energetics of Thermal Cis-Trans Isomerization of a Resonance-Activated Azobenzene in BMIM-Based Ionic Liquids for PF6−/Tf2N− Comparison

“…The decreasing of the high-intensity absorption band at 347 nm (due to the π → π* transition) and the increasing of the low-intensity band at about 440 nm (due to the n → π* transition) were used as evidence for the trans-cis photoisomerization. The thermal cis-trans conversion follows a first order decay [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ] and the kinetic rate constants ( k obs ) were spectrophotometrically measured in the temperature range 15−50 (± 0.1)°C by monitoring the absorption change at the maximum wavelength of the trans isomer in the dark over a period of about 24 h ( Supplementary Materials C–D ) as previously described [ 8 ].…”

Dissipative particle dynamics study on self-assembled platycodin structures: The potential biocarriers for drug delivery

“…In recent years, many researches on the synthesis and characterization of MLVs have been done. Almost all of them are obtained by self-assembly of synthetic surfactants [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]; there is no report about the MLVs formed by saponins yet. Due to the limitation in experiment method, the forming process of MLVs has not been observed either.…”

A novel biocompatible bicephalous dianionic surfactant from oleic acid for solid lipid nanoparticles

“…Synthesis of novel surfactants with enhanced properties is an active area of research [25][26][27][28]. The present work was undertaken to meet the ever demanding needs of pharmaceutical industry for safe and nontoxic surfactants.…”
