O interesse por sistemas formados por misturas de surfatantes se deve ao fato destas misturas apresentarem propriedades diferentes, e algumas vezes superiores, às dos surfatantes puros. Neste trabalho foram realizadas, em água e em soluções aquosas de sal, medidas de CMC, constantes de dissociação iônica, concentrações superficiais de contra-íons e entalpias de micelização para misturas de surfatantes zwiteriônicos e catiônicos. Os surfactantes catiônicos utilizados foram: brometo e cloreto de N- hexadecil - N,N,N - trimetil amônio, CTAB(C), e brometo de N- dodecil N,N,N - trimetil amônio, DTAB. Os zwiteriônicos foram: N-hexadecil- N,N-dimetil-3-amônio-1-propanosulfonato, HPS, e N-dodecil- N,N-dimetil-3amônio-1-propanosulfonato, DPS, e n-hexadecil- fosforil colina, HFC. Medidas de tensão superficial, condutividade e entalpia molar de diluição em função da concentração da mistura mostraram que, em água, ocorre primeiro a formação de micelas zwiteriônicas, seguida, com o aumento da concentração total de detergente, da incorporação do surfatante catiônico na fase micelar. A adição de sal facilita a formação de micelas mistas, principalmente nas misturas formadas por surfatantes de maior cadeia hidrocarbônica. Em micelas mistas medidas da concentração superficial de contra-íons por captura química mostraram que a concentração superficial de contra-íons aumenta com a fração molar do detergente catiônico. A concentração superficial de ânions é maior para misturas HPS/CT AB do que para misturas H FC/CTAB, quando a fração molar do detergente zwiteriônico é alta, denotando importância da composição da mistura e do sentido do momento de dipolo da cabeça polar do surfatante zwiteriônico, na capacidade da interface micelar em ligar ânions. Com o objetivo de verificar a extensão na qual a catálise de uma reação unimolecular pode ser controlada por propriedades interfaciais de micelas, foi estudada a reação de descarboxilação do íon 6-nitro benzisoxazol-3- carboxilato que é favorecida em micro-ambientes menos hidratados. Os resultados obtidos nos diferentes sistemas mostraram que misturas HFC/CTAB favorecem mais a reação do que micelas constituídas pelos anfifílicos puros, enquanto que nas misturas HPS/CTAB e DPS/DTAB, a velocidade de descarboxilação aumenta linearmente com a fração molar do surfatante zwiteriônico. A variação das constantes de velocidade com a concentração de detergente para misturas com menos de 30% de surfatante catiônico foi analisada usando o formalismo da pseudo fase, enquanto que as demais foram analisadas usando o formalismo da troca-iônica, levando em conta a dependência de a com a concentração. Este estudo representa a primeira análise integrada de propriedades físico-químicas e cinéticas para um sistema de misturas de detergentes zwiteriônicos e catiônicos. Os dados estruturais, junto com os efeitos cinéticos, fornecem uma descrição detalhada tanto do efeito de interfaces sobre reatividade como da estrutura das micelas mistas. / The interest for systems formed by surfactant mixtures is related to the fact that these mixtures exhibit properties that are more interesting, or useful, than those of the isolated components. Some mixtures can, for example, have a lower critical micelle concentration (CMC) or a higher efficiency on the reduction of the surface tension than the components. In this work we determined CMC\'s, ionic dissociation constants, surface counter-ion concentrations and micellization enthalpies for pure zwiterionic and cationic surfactants and their mixtures, in water and in aqueous salt. For this purpose, we used different alkyl chain sizes and varying structures of the polar head groups of zwiterionic detergents thereby changing the dipole moment orientation. In addition the nature of the cationic surfactant counter-ion was varied. Ammonium quaternary detergents (cationic) and sulphobetaines and phosphocholines derivatives (zwiterionic) were used as surfactants. Surface tension, conductivity and isothermal titration calorimetry were used as the main analytical methods. The judicious use of these methods allowed a better understanding of mixed micelle formation. The formation of mixed micelles depended upon several conditions such as: salt concentration, molar fraction of the components and hydrocarbon chain length. Measurements of the surface counter-ion concentrations by chemical trapping demonstrated the importance of mixture composition and of dipole moment orientation on the ability of micellar interface to bind anions. In water, zwitterionic micelles form first and, as the total detergent concentration rises, the positively charged detergent increasingly incorporates into the micellar pseudophase. Salt addition assists mixed micelle formation, especially with longer chain surfactants. Determination of interfacial anion concentration by chemical capture showed that, as expected, the interfacial counterion concentration increases with the molar fraction of the positively charged detergent. Interfacial anion concentration was larger for mixtures of HPS/CTAB when compared with HFC/CTAB mixtures at high molar ratio of the zwitterionic detergent. These results evidence the importance of mixture composition and dipole orientation on the interfacial properties of mixed micelles. The kinetic study of the effects of surfactant mixtures on the rate of a unimolecular decarboxylation reaction using 6-nitro benzisoxazole-3-carboxylate (NBOC) also showed important features of the mixed micellar surface. The rate of the unimolecular NBOC decomposition is extremely sensitive to the hydrogen donating capacity of the solvent at the reaction site. HFC/CTAB mixtures increase the reaction rate more than the single detergent micelles. For HPS/CTAB and DPS/DTAB mixtures the reaction rate increases linearly with the mole fraction of the zwitterionic component. Quantitative kinetic analysis was done using the ion exchange formalism above 30 mole % CTAB and the simple pseudophase model at lower positively charged detergent. This study represents the first integrated analysis of both physicochemical and kinetic properties of zwitterionic/positively charged micelles. The structural data, together with the kinetic effects furnish a detailed description of both micellar interfacial effects on reactivity and mixed micelle formation and properties.

The Thesis describes (i) the development of add-on instrumentation extending the capabilities of conventional NMR spectrometers and (ii) the application of the designed equipments and techniques for investigating various colloidal systems. The new equipments are: Novel designs of stopped-flow and temperature–jump inserts intended for conventional Bruker wide-bore superconductive magnets. Both inserts are loaded directly from above into the probe space and can be used together with any 10 mm NMR probe with no need for any auxiliary instruments. A set of 5 mm and 10 mm 1H – 19F – 2H NMR probes designed for heteronuclear 1H – 19F cross-relaxation experiments in Bruker DMX 200, AMX 300 and DMX 500 spectrometers, respectively. A two–stage low-pass filter intended for suppressing RF noise in electrophoretic NMR experiments. The kinetics of micellar dissolution and transformation in aqueous solutions of sodium perfluorooctanoate (NaPFO) is investigated using the stopped-flow NMR instrument. The sensitivity of NMR as detection tool for kinetic processes in micellar solutions is clarified and possible artefacts are analysed. In the NaPFO system, the micellar dissolution is found to proceed faster than 100 ms while surfactant precipitation occurs on the time scale of seconds-to-minutes. The kinetics of the coil-to–globule transition and intermolecular aggregation in a poly (Nisopropylacrylamide) solution are investigated by the temperature-jump NMR instrument. As revealed by the time evolution of the 1H spectrum, the T2 relaxation time and the self-diffusion coefficient D, large (>10 nm) and compact aggregates form in less than 1 second upon fast temperature increase and dissolve in less than 3 seconds upon fast temperature decrease. The intermolecular 1H – 19F dipole-dipole cross-relaxation between the solvent and solute molecules, whose fast rotational diffusion is in the extreme narrowing limit, is investigated. The solutes are perfluorooctanoate ions either in monomeric or in micellar form and trifluoroacetic acid and the solvent is water. The obtained cross-relaxation rates are frequency-dependent which clearly proves that there is no extreme narrowing regime for intermolecular dipole-dipole relaxation. The data provide strong constraints for the dynamic retardation of solvent by the solute. / QC 20100929

Nanoparticles have important applications in ceramics, metal catalysts, semiconductors etc. They are normally required to be of small size (~ nm) and monodisperse. The aim of the present work is to model the formation of nanoparticles, obtained by precipitation in reverse micellar microreactors. These are dispersions of tiny water drops in a surfactant laden oil medium. Two systems were investigated: (i) Reverse micelles, having nanometer sized spherical water droplets in the micellar core and (ii) Water-in-oil emulsions, having micron-sized aqueous drops. Two modes of precipitation, namely, gas-liquid (g-1) and liquid-liquid (1-1) were studied. In each case, the models could predict the number, average size and size distribution of the particles reported in literature. Two groups have obtained widely divergent number and size of CaCO3 nanoparticles, formed by g-1 precipitation in reverse micelles. These particles are used as a fine suspension in lube-oil additives, where they serve to neutralize acid produced during combustion in engines. Kandori et al. (J. Colloid Interface Sci, 122,1988, 78) obtained particles of about 100 nm size, by passing CO2 through a reverse micellar solution, containing dissolved Ca(OH)2 in the micellar core. Roman et al. (J. Colloid Interface Sci., 144,1991, 324), instead of using lime solution; added micron-sized solid lime particles in the oil and generated the reverse micelles by in situ reaction. This is a commercial process known as overbasing. It led to a higher amount of lime in the micelles as well as unreacted lime particles in oil, at the beginning of the experiment Upon passing CO2, they got particles of only 6 nm in size, compared to 100 nm reported by Kandori et al.. Furthermore, while Kandori et al. found that one particle formed from 108 micelles, Roman et al. got one particle out of only ten micelles. We have modelled the two processes in a common framework to explain the reported disparity in particle characteristics. A time scale analysis of CO2 mass transfer, reaction, collision-fusion of micelles, nucleation, and growth of particles was carried out It showed that, in the experiments of Kandori et al., the rate limiting steps are nucleation and fusion. The analysis also indicates that the contents of a particular micelle are well mixed and reaction of lime and incoming CO2 can be treated as instantaneous. In the process of Kandori et al., the amount of lime taken initially being very small, the average number of product molecules in a micelle is well below one. Rapid Brownian coalescence and exchange of micellar contents leads to Poisson distribution of CaCO3(l) molecules formed by reaction. The low occupancy therefore suggests that most of the micelles are empty. Nucleation in a particular micelle is much slow and occurs when it has a critical number of molecules. Thus only very few micelles can nucleate. Comparison of nucleation and growth time scales - both intrinsic growth in a micelle and growth during fusion of nucleated and non-nucleated micelles - show that growth is much faster than both nucleation and collision. Hence a micelle can have only one nucleus, with subsequent growth during collisions. A population balance equation (PBE) is written involving the above steps. Solution of the moments of the distribution yields the number of CaCO3 particles, its size, coefficient of variance (COV) etc. The model not only predicts the ratio of number of micelles to particles, obtained experimentally as 108, but also captures the maxima in this quantity with increasing micellar size. The increase in average particle size with micellar size is also predicted well. The process of of Roman et ai, in addition, involves the time scale of solubilization of solid lime into micelles. Its comparison with other time scales demarcates their experiments into two distinct phases. Phase I consists of reaction of lime initially present in micelles. Time scale analysis also suggests that, as the lime content in the micelles is large, a high degree of supersaturation is rapidly generated. This results in a burst of nuclei. The other conclusions, like, well-mixed micelle, Poisson distribution of CaCO3(l) molecules, instantaneous growth and mono-nucleated micelles are found to hold good. Once the pre-existing lime is finished, relative time scales indicate that, further precipitation is controlled entirely by fresh solubilization of lime. This marks the beginning of phase II. However, solubilization being the slowest step, CaCO3(l) in micelles never builds up for any further nucleation. Phase II thus consists of pure growth of the particles formed in phase I. On developing more general PBEs and with solution of resulting moment equations - written separately for the two phases - the experimental data on number of particles and temporal evolution to the final particle size of 6 nm could be predicted very well. The model also captures the qualitative trend in COV of particle radius with time. Thus within the same framework we could successfully predict both the results, differing by seven orders of magnitude. The above analysis indicates that relative rates of nucleation, fusion-growth and mass transfer of gas controls the carbonation process. We further simplify the process and obtain an analytical solution in the limit of instantaneous mass transfer. The solution gives close first estimates for both the experiments and also indicates the smallest panicle size that could be obtained for a given experimental condition. In contrast to g-1 mode, precipitation in 1-1 mode - using two reverse micellar solutions having two reactants- occurs only on coalescence of two micelles. To obviate the solution of multivariate PBEs, we have developed a general Monte Carlo (MC) simulation scheme for nanoparticle formation, using the interval of quiescence technique (IQ). Starting with a fixed number of micelles, we conduct each coalescence-redispersion and nucleation events in this population, in the ratio of their relative frequencies. Our simulation code is much more general and realistic than the scheme of Li and Park (Langmuir, 15,1999, 952). Poisson distribution with realistic micellar occupancies of reactants, binomial redispersion of solutes after fission, a nucleation rate with critical number of molecules and Brownian collision-fusion rates were used. These considerations are based on our earlier findings in g-1 precipitation and those known in the literature too. The simulation of Li and Park then becomes a special case of our code. Our simulation code was then used to predict experimental data on two systems. The results of Lianos and Thomas (Chem. Phys. Lett. 125, 1986, 299 and /. Colloid Interface 5c/., 117, 1987, 505), on number of molecules per CdS particle, as a function of micelle size and reactant concentrations have been predicted very well. For the Fe(OH)3 nanoparticles, our simulation provides a better prediction of the experimental particle size range, than that of Li and Park. Finally, 1-1 precipitation on mixing two emulsions, having respectively the two reactants, has been simulated. Here, large reactant amount leads to multiple nucleation in a single drop and renders growth rate to be finite. This requires solving a PBE for particle population in each drop. Moreover, emulsions have a drop size distribution due to independent coalescence and breakage. The IQ technique was used for handling these events. Thus a composite model of PBE and MC for a drop population was developed. Simulation of particle size distribution in MgCO3 precipitation shows that nearly monodisperse nanoparticles can be produced in emulsions. Furthermore, average particle size can be controlled by changing reactant concentration in a drop. The findings of the thesis have provided new issues to be addressed in modelling nanoparticle formation. It points out the importance of finding models for coalescence efficiency and critical nuclear size in micelles. Extension of our model and simulation to precipitation in other organized surfactant assemblies can be done by starting from appropriate time scale analysis.

Cette thèse vise à comprendre l’effet des dynamiques des micelles de copolymères sur leurs propriétés rhéologiques. En effet les copolymères amphiphiles peuvent s'auto-assembler dans l’eau pour former diverses microstructures micellaires sphériques, cylindriques ou lamellaires. Leur dynamique est un paramètre crucial pour définir leur spectre d’applications, en particulier dans le transport de médicaments et dans la synthèse de matériaux méso-structurés. Les micelles se structurent en continu: elles peuvent se former et se dissocier en monomères, se fusionner ou se fragmenter. Nous avons développé une méthode basée sur la fluorescence pour sonder directement les dynamiques micellaires collectives de fusion et de fission dans un bon nombre de copolymères triblocs de la famille PEO-PPO-PEO. Cette thèse se concentre sur l'étude des systèmes micellaires formés par des copolymères triblocs (tensioactifs non ioniques) et les tensioactifs cationiques à des concentrations et des températures où micelles sphériques et micelles cylindriques sont formées. De telles structures peuvent être formées spontanément lorsque le système est soumis à des conditions appropriées de concentration et de température ou à l'induction entre elles en ajoutant des sels inorganiques ou organiques, ou en appliquant des contraintes de cisaillement au système tensioactif/eau.La technique de diffusion de la lumière dynamique (DLS) a été utilisée pour évaluer la transition de la structure dans des solutions micellaires en changeant la température du système et de la structure du système correspondant à des conditions de concentration - température.Des expériences de relaxation de contraintes ont été effectuées où l’assouplissement temporaire de contrainte est mesuré après une déformation instantanée dans des solutions aqueuses de P103. Les temps de relaxation (ou taux) sont comparés avec ceux obtenus par diffusion de la lumière et de leur rapport à la taille des micelles est montré. La relaxation des contraintes présente le comportement de Maxwell. Les temps de relaxation ont montré la dépendance de la température avec des comportements caractéristiques des régimes de micelles sphériques et allongées respectivement.Dans ce travail, nous étudions également le système micellaire CTAnFB avec n la substitution de fluor en positions ortho (F: 2), meta (F: 3) et para (F: 4), à savoir les systèmes CTAortoFB/, CTAmetaFB/eau et CTAparaFB/eau à des concentrations diluées. Nous présentons aussi une étude de la dynamique de la simulation moléculaire de l'hydratation de tensioactifs ortho-, méta- et para-fluorobenzoate et son effet sur la formation de micelles.Nous avons étudié l'effet des contre-ions organiques hydrotropes, 2-, 3- et 4-fluorobenzoïque (2FB-, 3FB- et 4FB-, respectivement) sur le comportement d'épaississement par cisaillement de solutions aqueuses micellaires de micelles en forme de tige de leurs sels avec des cations de cétyltriméthylammonium (CTA2FB, CTA3FB et CTA4FB).Ce travail a contribué à la compréhension de la synergie entre la structure, la dynamique micellaire et la rhéologie dans cette famille de copolymère. / This thesis aims to understand the effect of the dynamics of copolymer micelles on their rheological properties. Indeed amphiphilic copolymers can self-assemble in water to form various micellar microstructures spherical, cylindrical or lamellar. Their dynamic is a critical parameter to define their range of applications, particularly in the transport of drugs and in the synthesis of mesostructured materials. Micelles are structured continuous: they can form and dissociate into monomers, merge or fragment. We have developed a method based on fluorescence to probe directly collective micellar dynamics of fusion and fission in a number of triblock copolymers of PEO -PPO -PEO family.This thesis focuses on the study of micellar systems formed by triblock copolymers (nonionic surfactants) and cationic surfactants at concentrations and temperatures where spherical micelles and rod like micelles are formed. Such structures may be formed spontaneously when the system is subjected to appropriate conditions of concentration and temperature or to the induction of these by adding inorganic or organic salts, or by applying shear stresses to the surfactant/water system.The technique of dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to evaluate the transition of the structure in micellar solutions by changing the temperature and the structure of the system itself at given concentration - temperature conditions.Stress relaxation experiments were performed where temporary relaxation of stress is measured after a momentary deflection in aqueous solutions of P103. The relaxation times (or rate) are compared with those obtained by light scattering and their relation to the size of the micelles is shown. The stress relaxation presented a Maxwelian behavior. The relaxation times showed temperature dependence with characteristic behavior schemes for elongated and spherical micelles respectively.In this work, we also study the micellar system CTAnFB where “n” is substitution of fluorine in the ortho position (F:2) meta ( F:3) and para (F:4), namely CTAortoFB/water CTAmetaFB/water and CTAparaFB/water systems in diluted concentrations. We presented a study of molecular dynamics simulation of the hydration of ortho-, meta-, para- Fluorobenzoate surfactants and its effect on the formation of micelles.The effect of hydrotropes organic counterions , 2- , 3- and 4- fluorobenzoic acid (2FB-, 3FB- and 4FB-, respectively), the shear thickening behavior of aqueous micellar solutions of rod like micelles thereof salts with cations of cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA2FB, CTA3FB and CTA4FB ) were studied.This work has contributed to the understanding of the synergy between the structure, dynamics and rheology of micellar in this family of copolymer.

L’objet majeur de cette étude est de contrôler la taille de nanoparticules de matériaux à transition de spin (TS), et d’étudier l’influence d’une réduction de taille sur les propriétés de commutation thermique. Plusieurs voies ont été explorées : La première stratégie basée sur la synthèse d’oligomères puis l’assemblage en unités supérieures s’est révélée difficile due à un manque de réactivité. La deuxième approche a consisté à utiliser le confinement moléculaire au sein d’une nanogouttelette pour synthétiser des oligomères de coordination de quelques nanomètres, et mettre en place une véritable “ingénierie moléculaire” en microémulsion. La dernière partie de ce travail est consacrée à la synthèse de particules à TS d’une centaine de nanomètre en milieu micellaire inverse permettant la discussion de l’influence de la taille des particules sur le comportement coopératif. / The main aim of this following study is to control the size of spin crossover nanoparticles, and investigate the influence of size reduction on thermal switch properties. The research has been undertaken along several approaches : Firstly a strategy was developed to build higher dimensionality from synthesized oligomers which revealed difficulties relevant to reactivity. The second approach consisted of using the molecular containment in a nanodrop to synthesize nanometric coordination oligomers and establish a real “molecular engineering” in microemulsion. The last part of this work is devoted to the synthesis of particles with spin crossover property as big as 100 nm in reverse micellar medium allowing the discussion of the interplay of their size with respect to the cooperative behaviour.

Os frutos de S. saponaria, espécie bastante abundante em São Carlos e outras regiões do Brasil são ricos em glicosídeos anfifílicos, ou seja, compostos por uma parte polar e outra apolar. Devido a esta peculiaridade tendem a formar espuma mostrando propriedades químicas semelhantes às dos tensoativos. Alguns destes glicosídeos pertencem à classe das saponinas e são constituídos por uma aglicona de estrutura carbônica a qual está ligada a uma ou duas cadeias de açúcar. O interesse pelas propriedades tensoativas deste glicosídeos motivou o estudo destas substâncias para uso em eletroforese capilar. Os frutos foram extraídos com metanol e fracionados em coluna cromatográfica preparativa utilizando sephadex LH-20 como fase estacionária. Após a eluição, as frações foram analisadas por espectrometria de massas e estudadas por eletroforese capilar. A eletroforese capilar de zona mostrou-se uma técnica viável para o estudo das frações obtidas. Embora um grau de pureza elevado não tenha sido alcançado, a fração B foi utilizada como aditivo para tampão em cromatografia eletrocinética micelar (MEKC) e uma interação diferenciada foi observada do nitrobenzeno com o tampão aditivado em relação ao tampão com SDS puro. / Sapindus saponaria is a very abundant species in São Carlos and others regions of Brazil. Fruits of S. saponaria have a high content of glycosides which possess well-defined regions of hydrophobic and hydrophilic feature denominated amphiphilic molecule. Thus, this can form a foam showing chemical proprieties equals to surfactants. Some glycosides belong to class of saponins and are composed of carbonic structure designates aglycone, which is linked in one or two sugar chains. The purpose of the present study was the use of glycosides due to their surfactants properties in further applications of capillary electrophoresis. The extraction of crude fruits was carried out with methanol and this extract was fractionated in Sephadex LH-20. The fractions were analyzed for mass spectrometry and studied in capillary electrophoresis (CE). This is a feasible technique for the study of fractions obtained. Although a high degree of purity was not reached, the fraction B were used as additive for the electrolyte background in MEKC. The nitrobenzene showed different interaction with micellar system in the electrolyte background with fraction B.
