Cholic acid, conjugated with amine-terminated poly(W-isopropylacrylamide) (abbreviated as CA/ATPNIPAAm), was synthesized by a N, N'-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC)-mediated coupling reaction. Self-assembled CA/ATPNIPAAm micelles were prepared by a diafiltration method in aqueous media. The CA/ATPNIPAAm micelles exhibited a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at $31.5^{\circ}C$. Micelle sizes measured by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) were approximately 31.6 $\times$$\times$ 5.8 nm. The CA/ATPNIPAAm micelles were spherical and their thermal size transition was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). A fluorescence probe technique was used for determining the micelle formation behavior of CA/ATPNIPAAm in aqueous solutions using Pyrene as a hydrophobic Probe. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) was evaluated as $8.9{\times}0^{-2}$ g/L. A drug release study was performed using indomethacin (IN) as a hydrophobic model drug. The release kinetics of IN from the CA/ATPNIPAAm micelles revealed a thermo-sensitivity by the unique character of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) i.e. the release rate was higher at $25^{\circ}C$ than at $37^{\circ}C$.

1. Introduction : Low molecular harmful organics such as 1-naphthol and phenol are widely used in industries, and pose serious environmental problems. Wastewater containing low molecular harmful organics may be ejected from various sources including metal-plating industries, circuit-board manufacturing process, photographic and photo-processing industries, refineries and metal-tailing leachate. The pollution of nation harbors, waterways and ground water resources with these organics has reached critical portions, and might also give hazardous influence on human health. Micellar enhanced ultrafiltration(MEUF) is a recently developed process to remove dissolved organics and/or heavy metals present in small or trace quantities from aqueous solution. In this system, the fatal defect is leakage of surfactants especially at low concentration below CMC(critical micelle concentration), which becomes a secondary pollution. Our group proposed to use biosurfactant and polymeric micelle to solve problems mentioned above. In this study we investigated a modified MEUF using PEO-PPO-PEO (polyethyleneoxide-polypropyleneoxide-polyethyleneoxide) block copolymers for the removal of organic solutes such as 1-naphthol and phenol from aqueous wastewater. We proposed PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers as new surfactants for forming micelles in MEUF, and investigated the solubilization characteristics and efficiency for the removal of 1-naphthol and phenol. PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers are, environmentally mild and safe as biosurfactants.

양이온성 수용성 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl) porphyrin (TMPyP)의 존재 하에서 음이온 계면 활성제인 sodium n-dodecyl sulfate 의 용액 특성을 전도도법, UV-vis 및 공명 빛 산란 (RLS) 분광학적 방법을 이용하여 포괄적으로 연구하였다. 그 결과에 따르면 TMPyP 농도의 증가로 SDS 용액의 임계 미셀 농도는 감소하였는데, SDS 미셀의 안정화는 미셀 표면에 존재하는 음전하의 중화 때문이다. SDS용액 내에는 자유 포르피린 단량체, 미셀에 속박된 포르피린 단량체 또는 응집체, 그리고 nonmicellar porphyrin/계면 활성제 응집체와 같은 세 종류의 TMPy종이 분명히 존재하였다. 우리의 연구 결과는 SDS가 TMPyP의 응집을 유도한다는 것을 나타내었다. 실제로 두 종류의 J-aggregations이 관찰되었는데, 하나는 미셀에 속박된 포르피린 단량체 또는 응집체였으며, 다른 하나는 nonmicellar porphyrin/계면 활성제 응집체이다. 그러나, cmc이하에서는 TMPyP가 SDS 음이온과 정전기 상호작용을 나타내었다.

A polymeric micelle, based on the poly(benzyl-L-histidine)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (polyBz-His-b-PEG) diblock copolymer, was designed as a tumor-specific targeting carrier. The micelles (particle size: 67-80 nm, critical micelle concentration (CMC); 2-3 $\mu$g/mL) were formed from the diafilteration method at pH 7.4, as a result of self-assembly of the polyBz-His block at the core and PEG block on the shell. Removing benzyl (Bz) group from polyBz-His block provided pH-sensitivity of the micellar core; the micelles were physically destabilized in the pH range of pH 7.4-5.5, depending on the content of the His group free from Bz group. The ionization of His group at a slightly acidic pH promoted the deformation of the interior core. These pHdependent physical changes of the micelles provide the mechanism for pH-triggering anticancer drug (e.g., doxorubicin: DOX) release from the micelle in response to the tumor’s extracellular pH range (pH 7.2-6.5).

Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEG)-poly(${\beta}$-amino ester) (PAE) block copolymers were synthesized using a Michael-type step polymerization, and the construction of pH-sensitive polymeric micelles (PM) investigated. The ${\beta}$-amino ester block of the block copolymers functioned as a pH-sensitive moiety as well as a hydrophobic block in relation to the ionization of PAE, while PEG acted as a hydrophilic block, regardless of ionization. The synthesized polymers were characterized using $^1H-NMR$, with their molecular weights measured using gel permeation chromatography. The $pK_b$ values of the pH-sensitive polymers were measured using a titration method. The pH-sensitivity and critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the block copolymers in PBS solution were estimated using fluorescence spectroscopy. The pH dependent micellization behaviors with various bisacrylate esters varied within a narrow pH range. The critical micelle concentration at pH 7.4 decreased from 0.032 to 0.004 mg/mL on increasing the number of methyl group in the bisacrylate from 4 to 10. Also, the particle size of the block copolymer micelles was determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The DLS results revealed the micelles had an average size below 100 nm. These pH-sensitive polymeric micelles may be good carriers for the delivery of an anticancer drug.

음이온성 계면활성제인 sodium dodecanoate과 sodium n-octanoate의 혼합미셀 물성인 임계미셀농도(CMC), 반대이온의 결합상수(B), 및 미셀형성 응집수(N^*) 등을 여러 조성에서 전기전도도법과 광산란법으로 조사하였다. 여러 혼합조성에서의 혼합미셀 형성에 대한 실험 결과는 이상용액의 예측 거동과는 상당히 벗어났으므로, 정규용액 이론에 기반을 둔 Rubingh 모델과 Motomura 모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또 미셀 형성에 대한 표준 Gibbs 에너지 ΔG^micel,0는 전체 조성에서 음의 값이 얻어져 혼합미셀의 안정성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 ΔG^micel,0 측정값은 이론적 계산치와 실험 오차 내에서 일치하였다.

CPC(1-hexadecylpyridinium chloride)와 Brij 35(polyoxyethylene(23) lauryl ether)의 혼합계면 활성제의 미셀화에 대한 임계미셀농도(CMC)와 반대이온 결합상수값(B)을 순수 물에서 CPC의 겉 보기몰분율(${\alpha}_1$)의 함수로서 전도도법으로 측정하였다. 이와 같이 측정한 CMC값에 비이상적 혼합 미셀 모델을 적용함으로써 여러 가지 열역학적 함수값($(X_i,\;{\gamma}_i,\;C_i,\;a_{i}^{M},\;{\beta}$ 및 ${\Delta}H_{mix})$을 계산하고 분 석하였다. 또한 온도에 따른 CMC값의 변화로부터 CPC/Brij 35 혼합계면활성제의 미셀화에 대한 열역학 함수값(${\Delta}{G^o}_m,\;{\Delta}{H^o}_m$ 및 ${\Delta}{S^o}_m)$)을 계산하였다. 그 결과, ${\Delta}{G^o}_m$값은 모두 음의 값을 나타내었지 만, ${\Delta}{H^o}_m$와 ${\Delta}{S^o}_m$의 값은 측정한 온도와 ${\alpha}_1$의 값에 따라 음 혹은 양의 값을 나타내었다.

The Acinetobacter sp. BE-254 isolated from soil sources produced a bioemulsifier in the medium supplemented with n-hexadecane. This bioemulsifier was purified by the procedures of fractionation (ammonium sulfate and chilled acetone), extraction by hexane, and column chromatography on silica gel 60. The results from various color reactions indicated that the bioemulsifier was a glycolipid. The purified emulsifier was very stable at pHs ranging from 4 to 10 and under heat treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Emulsification activity was also hardly influenced by pH. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and surface tension at the point ($\gamma_{cmc}$) of the bioemulsifier were approximately 35 mg/l and 30 mN/m, respectively. The bioemulsifier showed a fairly good emulsification activity and stability in comparison with other commercial emulsifiers in the basic formula composed of emulsifier, oil, and water.

Electrochemistry of 1.0 mM tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) ($Ru(bpy)_3{^{2+}}$) in 300 mM $H_2SO_4$ solution with and without sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is studied. In the presence of SDS, $E_{pa}$ of $Ru(bpy)_3{^{2+}}$ shifts to positive direction compared to the SDS free case. The intersection of two lines on ${\Delta}E_p$ vs. -log[SDS] plot is measured as a critical micelle concentration (CMC), which is 3.67 mM SDS.

The comparative detergency of Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution near the first critical micelle concentration (CMC) was measured by means of a 131 I-labelled castor oil as a soil. More than 95% radiochemical purity of 131 I-labelled castor oil was obtained using potassium lidide as a carrier. Polyester test fabric was soiled with 131 I-labelled castor oil, and washed in a conventional washing apparatus mounted on appropriate devices. Fabric radioactivities were measured before and after washing by a scintilation counter. Near the first CMC, the detergency of SDS was increased with decreasing of surface tension of SDS. It was also shown that 131 I-labelled castor oil was useful for studying the detergency of SDS.
