본 연구에서는 인지질-비이온계면활성제의 혼합계면활성제를 이용하여 옥틸도데실미리스테이트를 조성상전이 유화법으로 O/W 타입 나노에멀젼을 제조하였다. 혼합 계면활성제와 오일의 농도 비가 1 : 1 정도의 매우 좁은 영역에서 나노에멀젼이 형성되었다. 비이온계면활성제로만 제조된 나노에멀젼과는 달리 전상점 이후에 수용액상을 첨가함에 따라 에멀젼의 입자 크기가 감소하였다. 제조된 나노에멀젼은 실온에서 한 달 이상 안정하였다. 인지질을 함유하고 저에너지 유화법으로 제조된 나노에멀젼 제형은 화장품의 기재로서 널리 사용될 수 있다.

본 연구는 건조된 코아세르베이트 필름의 물리적 특성이 샴푸 건조 후 모발 사용감에 미치는 상관관계를 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 단순 샴푸 조성물은 동일한 조성의 계면활성제에 양이온 전하 밀도가 서로 다른 두 종류의 양이온 폴리머를 사용하여 제조하였다. 이 단순 조성물을 물에 희석하여 코아세르베이트(Coacervate)를 형성되도록 하였고,3000 rpm, 30 min 조건으로 원심 분리하여 형성된 코아세르베이트를 얻었다. 얻어진 코아세르베이트를 유리판 위에 균일한 두께로 도포하고 50 ℃ 건조기에서 1 h 건조하여 코아세르베이트 필름을 얻었다. 이렇게 얻어진 코아세르베이트 필름의 접촉각과 코아세르베이트의 SEM 이미지 조사를 수행하였고, 코아세르베이트의 수분 보유량과 수분 유지력을 동시에 조사하였다. 샴푸 후 건조된 모발의 부드러움과 보습감은 모발타래를 이용하여 전문 미용 패널이 평가를 수행하였다. 본 실험결과 건조된 코아세르베이트 필름의 특성이 샴푸 후 건조된 모발의 부드러움 및 보습감에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다.

Mesoporous silica was prepared from hydrothermal synthesis using gel mixture of tetraethylorthosilcate (TEOS) as silica source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr) as a surfactant. In the optimum synthesis cause, molar ratio of template and silica changed. The surface and structure properties of mesoporous silica were determined by XRD, SEM, TEM and BET. Also, surface potential of mesoporous silica was measured using zeta potential. N2 adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area (SBET), total pore volume (VT), and average pore diameter (DBJH), were determined by BET. As a result, SBET of 100 m² /g～1500 m² /g was determined from the N2 adsorption isotherm. Also, the average pore diameter was 2 nm∼4 nm. Mesoporous silica's surface potential of minus charge was determined from zeta potential.

The environmental behaviors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are mainly governed by their solubility and partitioning properties on soil media in a subsurface system. In surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) systems, surfactant plays a critical role in remediation. In this study, sorptive behaviors and partitioning of naphthalene in soils in the presence of surfactants were investigated. Silica and kaolin with low organic carbon contents and a natural soil with relatively higher organic carbon content were used as model sorbents. A nonionic surfactant, Triton X-100, was used to enhance dissolution of naphthalene. Sorption kinetics of naphthalene onto silica, kaolin and natural soil were investigated and analyzed using several kinetic models. The two compartment first-order kinetic model (TCFOKM) was fitted better than the other models. From the results of TCFOKM, the fast sorption coefficient of naphthalene (k1) was in the order of silica > kaolin > natural soil, whereas the slow sorbing fraction (k2) was in the reverse order. Sorption isotherms of naphthalene were linear with organic carbon content (foc) in soils, while those of Triton X-100 were nonlinear and correlated with CEC and BET surface area. Sorption of Triton X-100 was higher than that of naphthalene in all soils. The effectiveness of a SER system depends on the distribution coefficient (KD) of naphthalene between mobile and immobile phases. In surfactant-sorbed soils, naphthalene was adsorbed onto the soil surface and also partitioned onto the sorbed surfactant. The partition coefficient (KD) of naphthalene increased with surfactant concentration. However, the KD decreased as the surfactant concentration increased above CMC in all soils. This indicates that naphthalene was partitioned competitively onto both sorbed surfactants (immobile phase) and micelles (mobile phase). For the mineral soils such as silica and kaolin, naphthalene removal by mobile phase would be better than that by immobile phase because the distribution of naphthalene onto the micelles (Kmic) increased with the nonionic surfactant concentration (Triton X-100). For the natural soil with relatively higher organic carbon content, however, the naphthalene removal by immobile phase would be better than that by mobile phase, because a high amount of Triton X-100 could be sorbed onto the natural soil and the sorbed surfactant also could sorb the relatively higher amount of naphthalene.

Ultrasound and Surfactant aided soil washing process has been shown to be an effective method to remove diesel from soils. The use of surfactants can improve the mobility of diesel in soil-water systems by increasing solubility of adsorbed diesel into surfactant micelles. However, a large amount of surfactant is required for treatment. In addition, synthetic surfactants, specially anionic, are more toxic and the surfactant wastewater is hard to treat by conventional wastewater treatments even by AOPs. Ultrasound improves desorption of the diesel adsorbed on to soil. The mechanisms are based on physical breakage of bonds by hot spot, directly impact onto soil particle surface, the fragmentation of long-chain hydrocarbons by micro-jet and microstreaming in the soil pores. The use of ultrasound as an enhancement method in both anionic and nonionic surfactant aided soil-washing processes were studied. And all experiments were examined proceeded under CMC surfactant concentration, frequency 35 khz, power 400 W, Soil-water ratio 1:3(wt%), particle size 0.24 ~ 2mm and initial diesel concentration. 20,000 mg/kg. Combination with ultrasound showed significant enhancements on all the processes. Especially, nonionic surfactant Triton-X100 with ultrasound showed remarkable enhancements and diesel removal rate enhanced by ultrasound helps desorpting of surfactant adsorbed onto soils which prevented decreasing surfactant activity.

일반적으로 음이온 계면활성제는 효소의 disulfide bond를 분해시켜 효소의 활성이 없어진다. 따라서 특정한 캡슐에 효소를 포집하여 안정도를 증대시킨다. 본 연구에서는 polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), 그리고 PEG- PPG-PEG block copolymer 등의 폴리올을 이용하여 papain 효소의 안정도를 증대시켰다. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)와 confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) 분석을 통하여 폴리올은 고분자층과 효소의 중간에 위치하며, 이들은 완충액으로 작용하여 효소의 안정도를 증대시키는 것으로 확인하였다. 또한, 이온 복합체를 이용하여 다층 캡슐을 제조하여 wash-off 형태의 세정제에 응용하였다. 세정제 내에서 계면활성제와 물은 효소캡슐의 표면에 분산되었으며, 캡슐의 중앙부분으로 서서히 침투되었다. 반면에 본 연구에서 사용된 sodium lauroyl sarcosinate와 polyguaternium-6는 물이 효소부분으로 침투하지 않는 것을 in vivo 시험을 통하여 확인하였다.

수용성 폴리머와 계면활성제의 상호작용을 레올로지와 표면 장력을 측정하여 연구하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 폴리머는 acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer (AC), ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer (AV)이다. 계면활성제는 PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil (HC), polysorbate 60 (P60)이다. HC와 P60은 AC 폴리머 주위에서 마이셀을 형성하여 점도를 증가하였다. 그러나, HC는 P60보다 보다 높은 농도 범위에서 점도 증가 거동을 보였다. 같은 농도 범위에서 계면활성제들의 표면장력을 비교해보면, 표면장력이 AC/HC의 농도 증가에 따라 증가한 반면, AC/P60의 농도증가에 대해서는 거의 증가하지 않았다. 이런 결과는 AC/HC 사이의 마이셀이 강하게 조직화된 구조를 형성하기 때문으로 추정된다.

On the basis of theory of Bratsch's electronegativity equalization, the electronegativity equalization, the group electronegativities and the group partial charges for cationic and amphoteric surfactants could be calculated using Pauling's electronegativity parameters. From calculated output, we have investigated relationships between CMC(critical micelle concentration) and partial charge and group electronegativity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, structural stability of micelle for cationic and amphoteric surfactants. As a result, CMC depends upon partial charge and electronegativity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups for surfactants. In case of cationic surfactant, as the increment of carbon number in hydrophilic group, partial charge of hydrophilic group is increased, but CMC and electronegativity of hydrophilic group is decreased. With increasing the carbon number of hydrophilic group for cationic surfactant, its partial charge is increased, but CMC and its electronegativity are decreased. With increasing the carbon number of hydrophobic group for cationic and amphoteric surfactant, its partial charge is increased, but CMC and its electronegativity are decreased

The antibacterial effect amino acid-copper(Ⅱ) surfactant on fish pathogens was studied. Fish pathogens of Edwardsiella tarda, Vibrio anguillarum, Aeromonas hydrophila and Streptococcus sp. were selected, cultured in nutrient agar and adjusted at 2 × 10 5∼106 CFU/㎖ in phosphate buffer saline before the addtion of amino acid-copper(Ⅱ) surfactant with different concentrations. All tested pathogens died within 1 hour with 1 ppm of amino acid-copper(Ⅱ) surfactant. In comparison with formalin and ET, amino acid-copper(Ⅱ) surfactnat was more effective in antibacterial capacity.
