Study on the aggregation behavior of kaolinite particles in the presence of cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactants.

ABSTRACT: Aggregation behaviors of kaolinite particles with different surfactants were studied in this paper. Aggregation settling yield and fractal dimension analysis were used to determine the aggregation results. Zeta potential measurements, adsorption tests, Infrared spectroscopy analysis and scanning electron microscope measurements were conducted for further investigation into the mechanism. Experimental results showed that much better aggregation results was obtained in the presence of cationic surfactant than that in the presence of anionic and non-ionic surfactants. 98% aggregation setting yield was obtained in the presence of dodecylamine. Adsorption tests indicated that the adsorption capacity of dodecylamine on kaolinite surface was larger than that of sodium oleate and Tween80. Zeta potential measurements confirmed that dodecylamine was more beneficial to the aggregation of kaolinite particles. Infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed that the adsorption of dodecylamine on kaolinite surface was attributed to electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Sodium oleate was adsorbed by chemical adsorption. However, Tween80 can hardly be adsorbed by kaolinite surface.

Project description:Cationic non-viral vectors show great potential to introduce genetic material into cells, due to their ability to transport large amounts of genetic material and their high synthetic versatility. However, designing materials that are effective without showing toxic effects or undergoing non-specific interactions when applied systemically remains a challenge. The introduction of shielding polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) can enhance biocompatibility and circulation time, however, often impairs transfection efficiency. Herein, a multicomponent polymer system is introduced, based on cationic and hydrophobic particles (P(nBMA46-co-MMA47-co-DMAEMA90), (PBMD)) with high delivery performance and a pH-responsive block copolymer (poly((N-acryloylmorpholine)-b-(2-(carboxy)ethyl acrylamide)) (P(NAM72-b-CEAm74), PNC)) as shielding system, with PNAM as alternative to PEG. The pH-sensitive polymer design promotes biocompatibility and excellent stability at extracellular conditions (pH 7.4) and also allows endosomal escape and thus high transfection efficiency under acidic conditions. PNC shielded particles are below 200 nm in diameter and showed stable pDNA complexation. Further, interaction with human erythrocytes at extracellular conditions (pH 7.4) was prevented, while acidic conditions (pH 6) enabled membrane leakage. The particles demonstrate transfection in adherent (HEK293T) as well as difficult-to-transfect suspension cells (K-562), with comparable or superior efficiency compared to commercial linear poly(ethylenimine) (LPEI). Besides, the toxicity of PNC-shielded particles was significantly minimized, in particular in K-562 cells and erythrocytes. In addition, a pilot in vivo experiment on bone marrow blood cells of mice that were injected with PNC-shielded particles, revealed slightly enhanced cell transfection in comparison to naked pDNA. This study demonstrates the applicability of cationic hydrophobic polymers for transfection of adherent and suspension cells in culture as well as in vivo by co-formulation with pH-responsive shielding polymers, without substantially compromising transfection performance.

Project description:The aggregation behavior of two cationic surfactants, i.e., cetyldimethylethanolammonium bromide (CDMEAB) and cetyltributylphosphonium bromide (CTBPB), within an aqueous deep eutectic solvent (DES) is studied. The synthesized DES is composed of 1:2 mole ratio of choline chloride and glycerol and is further characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and 1H NMR spectroscopy techniques. The critical micellar concentration (CMC), micellar size, and intermolecular interaction in surfactants within Gly-based DES solutions are investigated by various techniques including surface tension, conductivity, fluorescence, dynamic light scattering (DLS), FTIR, 1H NMR, and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY). The various interfacial properties and thermodynamic parameters are determined in the presence of 5 wt % glyceline (Gly)-based DES in an aqueous solution. The CMC, aggregation number (N agg), and Stern-Volmer constant (K sv) have also been determined by a steady-state fluorescence method. DLS is used to obtain information regarding the size of the aggregates formed by the cationic surfactants in DES solutions. FTIR spectroscopy is used to study the surfactant-DES interactions that tune the micellar structure of the surfactants within the Gly-based DES solution. The functional groups involved in the interactions (H-bonding and electrostatic) are the head groups (HO-CH2-CH2-N+ ion for CDMEAB and quaternary phosphonium (P+) ion for CTBPB) of the surfactants with the -OH-containing Gly DES. The hydrophobic moieties are involved in the hydrophobic interactions. The 1H NMR data show that differences in chemical shifts can provide significant information about the interactions taking place within the system. 1H NMR and NOESY techniques are further employed to strengthen our claim on the feasible structural arrangements within the aqueous surfactant-DES self-assembled structures. It is observed that both the cationic surfactants, i.e., CDMEAB and CTBPB, form self-assembled nanostructures in the Gly-based DES solutions. The present results are expected to be useful for colloidal solutions of DES and their mixtures with water.
