Abstract
The designation of new materials having multi applications and properties is the basic view of all researchers. Which a problem such as pollution of water surface from petroleum and diseases resulting from bacterial infection become very dangerous issues that have bad effect on environment. So, the series of cationic polymeric surfactants with desired applications as antimicrobial, petro-collecting and dispersing agents were developed. The series were derived from polymer with reactive phthalimide moiety undergoes exchange with derivatives of tertiary amines containing amino and hydroxyl groups. This is followed by quaternization the product of exchange reaction to afford the series of cationic amidated polymeric surfactants (CAPS) and cationic esterified polymeric surfactants (CEPS). The obtained materials were characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR. The foam properties, emulsion stability and critical micelles concentration were reported for the synthesized cationic surfactants. Additionally, the petroleum capacities of collecting/ dispersing diluted and undiluted forms of synthesized polymeric surfactants were investigated in water of varying salinity. The activity of the synthesized surfactants as antimicrobial agents was reported against different species of bacteria. Also, these compounds were tested against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 (fungi). The results showed that all synthesized cationic surfactants showed a high efficiency towards all the tested microbes except compounds of CEPS towards Salmonella sp. But CAPS recorded the highest efficiency with the highest inhibition zone diameter (40 mm) than CEPS. Also, the data obtained revealed that compounds CAPS showed great efficiency against drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
