The formation of polyaniline (PANI) in the reverse micelles of poly(oxyethylene) nonylphenyl ether, $(NP5, H(CH_2)_9Ph(OC_2H_4)_5OH)$, was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The reverse micellar solution containing initiators in the inner part of reverse micelle was prepared with surfactant (NP5), water, cyclohexane and an initiator (ammonium persulfate (APS)). The core-shell sphere model containing smearing effect reveals that the polymerization occurs on the shell layer of the reverse micelles. Shell thickness averages varied from 48 $\AA$ to 109 $\AA$ with increases of monomer concentration.

막분리 공정을 이용하여 수용액상에 존재하는 유기 오염물질을 제거하기 위해서는 역삼투나 투과중발법의 도입이 필요하다. 그러나 두가지 공정 모두 대단위의 처리를 위해서는 막대한 시설$\cdot$가동비를 필요로 한다. 특히 물속에 녹아 있는 방향족 유기물들은 심각한 환경오염의 주범이 되고 있음에도 불구하고 효율적이고 경제적인 처리가 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. Micllar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) 공정은 오염물이 녹아있는 수용액에 계면활성제를 투입하여 오염물이 포함된 micelle을 형성시킨 후 이를 한외여과함으로써 계면활성제와 유기물을 동시에 제거하는 공정이다[1]. 이 공정을 이용함으로써 한외여과막의 종류, 유기 오염물의 특성에 다른 제거 효율의 변화나 최적 조업 조건 등에 대한 체계적인 연구[3,4]가 미흡한 실정이다.

The liquid-liquid extraction of lipase A from Candide cylindracea and lipase B from porcine pancrease was carried out using reversed micellar organic solvents. Effects of various factors such as ionic strength, pH, and species and concentration of surfactant, on lipase solubilization were studied. A cationic surfactant cetyl-trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in isooctane/nhexanol(1:1) was found to be an effective solvent and its optimum concentration was 50 mM. KCl among various salts tested was the most effective and the efficiency of solubilization of lipase increased with decreasing the ionic strength of salts. The maximum activity and solubiliz ation of protein were obtained at pH 8. The stripping efficiency has a maximum value at pH 4 and increases with KCl concentration in the range of 0.2∼1.0 M. After the solubilization and stripping, the overall recovery efficiency of mass and specific activity of lipases was 62% and 66%, respectively.

In this paper, we report a new cationic lipid composed of L-lysinamide and cholesterol as a potent gene delivery vector. $3{\beta}$[L-Lysinamide-carbamoyl] cholesterol could self-assemble with plasmid DNA forming discrete lipoplexes. From atomic force microscopic images of the complexes, the size distribution was observed to range from 100 to 150 nm in diameter. The transfection efficiency of this amphiphile on different cell lines was evaluated as a micellar solution in the absence of the fusogenic helper lipid, dioleoyl phosphatidyletbanolamine (DOPE). Transfection experiments were performed as a function of charge ratio (lipid/DNA) and transfection time. Cytotoxicity and in vitro transfection efficiency of the amphiphile was demonstrated and compared with those of commercially available Lipofectin and polyethylenimine (PEI).

In aqueous mixtures of cationic OTAC (octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) and anionic ADS (ammonium dodecyl sulfate) surfactants, mixed micelles were formed at low (< 0.2 wt %) total surfactant concentrations. For these mixtures mixed micelliza tion and interaction of surfactant molecules were examined. Mixed critical micelle concentration (CMC), thermodynamic potentials of micellization, and minimum area per surfactant molecule at the interface were obtained from surface tensiometry and electrical conductometry. The mixed micellar compositions and the estimation of interacting forces were determined on the basis of a regular solution model. The CMCs were reduced, although not substantial, and synergistic behavior of the ADS and OTAC in the mixed micelles was observed. The CMC reductions in this anionic/cationic system were comparable to those in nonionic/anionic surfactant systems. The interaction parameter $\beta$ of the regular solution model was estimated to be -5 and this negative value of $\beta$ indicated an overall attractive force in the mixed state.

High quality MCM-41 is prepared from a gel of molar composition SiO2:0.20 CTACl:0.18 TMAOH:25 H2O aged at 20 ℃ for 24 hours before crystallization lasting for 48 hours. The (110) and (200) peaks of XRD pattern of high quality MCM-41 are unusually well resolved and the FWHM (full-width-at-half-maximum) of the (100) peak is 0.13° for as-prepared MCM-41 and 0.21° for calcined one, which indicate well-developed crystals. The properties of the crystal depend on the source and concentration of the reactants and the gel aging time. There is no induction period in the course of the synthesis, which is conveniently monitored by pH measurement. Gel aging, during which a spatial distribution of silicate polyanions and micellar cations is established, is essential for preparing high quality MCM-41. Surfactants with the same cationic organic group but different counteranions change the crystallization behavior. Highly basic gel (pH=12.6) favours the lamellar product; the quality of MCM-41 is lower as insufficient TMAOH is available to dissolve the silica.

Luminescence quenching reactions of photoexcited tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium (Ⅱ) complex cation, $Ru(bpy)_3\;^{2+}$, by dialkylviologens (dimethyl, dioctyl, dibenzyl, methyloctyl, methyldodecyl, and methylbenzyl) were studied in sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS), and poly(vinylsulfonate) (PVS) solutions. The relative quenching rate varies widely with the microheterogeneous media employed: the highest quenching rate is observed for methyldodecylviologen in homogeneous aqueous medium, dibenzylviologen in SDS and PVS solutions, and dimethylviologen in PSS solution; the lowest rate is found for dimethylviologen in homogeneous medium and SDS solution, methyldodecylviologen in PSS and PVS solutions. These results were interpreted in terms of reduction potential of viologens, affinity of $Ru(bpy)_3\;^{2+}$ and viologens to the microparticles, and the structures of the viologen-colloid complexes.

Porous silica-pillared montmorillonites were prepared by simultaneous intercalation of dodecylamine-TEOS [tetraethylorthosilicate, Si(OC2H5)4] into the H-montmorillonite and intragallery amine-catalyzed hydrolysis of TEOS. Mixtures of the H-montmorillonite, dodecylamine and TEOS at molar ratios of 1 : 2 : 15-30 and 1 : 2-6 : 20 resulted to swollen and viscous gel once at room temperature, allowing intercalation compounds which dodecylamine and TEOS were simultaneously intercalated into interlayer of H-montmorillonite. The hydrolysis of the gallery TEOS was conducted in water solution for 40 min at room temperature, affording siloxane-pillared H-montmorillonite. Calcination of samples at 500 $^{\circ}C$ in air resulted in silica-pillared montmorillonite with large specific surface areas between 403 and 577 m2 /g, depending on the reaction stoichiometry. The reaction at H-montmorillonite : dodecylamine : TEOS reaction stoichiometries of 1 : 2 : 15 and 1 : 4 : 20 resulted in high specific surface areas and mesopores with a narrow pore size distribution. Result indicates that the intragallery-amine catalyze the hydrolysis of gallery-TEOS and simultaneously have a role of gallery-templated micellar assemblies.

The effect of pH and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle on the quenching of Ru(bpy)32+ luminescence by N-alkyl-4,4'-bipyridinium ions (RBPY+: R=methyl, octyl, dodecyl, benzyl) were investigated. In the absence of SDS, the quenching rate at pH 2 is similar to that of the corresponding methylalkyl viologens and much greater than that in pH 8 solution due to greater reducibility of the protonated form of RBPY+ (HRBPY2+). The quenching rate at pH 2 is strongly enhanced by the presence of SDS, while that at basic pH is greatly retarded. These observations are explained by deep embedment of RBPY+ into the hydrophobic hydrocarbon region of the micelle, whereas Ru(bpy)32+ and HRBPY2+ locate in the Stern layer of the micelle.

The effect of the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to a buffered mobile phase (pH 3.4) on the retention of nucleotides, nucleosides and bases was investigated with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) column. Depending on the concentration of SDS, two different trends in the retention of nucleosides and bases containing an $NH_2$ group were observed. If the concentration of SDS was less than 5.5 mM, the retention of compounds containing an $NH_2$ group increased as the concentration of SDS in the mobile phase increased. In contrast, if the concentration was greater than 5.5 mM, the retention of compounds containing an $NH_2$ group decreased. Thus, the SDS acted as an ion-pairing reagent at lower concentration but formed micelles at higher concentrations. The retention behavior of the nucleosides and bases in the presence of a micellar concentration of SDS in the mobile phase on the PVA column was compared to the retention behavior on other types of columns.
