Research Themes

Synthesis of novel gemini surfactants and functional organized solutions

We developed new gemini surfactants with a spacer containing disulfide linkage, and found the generation of dissymmetric gemini surfactants by the disulfide exchange between the spacer chains in mixed micellar aqueous solutions. The cationic and zwitterionic surfactants generated by the reaction of various thiol compounds resulted in the decay of molecular aggregates and the release of micellar solubilizates. These results relating to functional organized solutions linked to the cooperative investigations of the improvement in functionality of hair.

Self-assembled structures revealed by fluorescent probe methods

Research of fluorescent probes and their labeled surfactants led us into the field of the aggregate structures from the viewpoint of both micellar interior and external bulk water phase. Especially, we established the facile method for the accurate determination of micellar counterion binding by using the fluorescence quenching behavior of quinoline or acridine derivatives. The high sensitivity and ion-selective quenching provided information regarding the competitive counterion binding to the micellar surface.

Nonrandom distribution of surfactant molecules in mixed micellar systems

Fluorescence quenching behavior of pyrene using fluorocarbon quencher showed the coexistence of fluorocarbon-rich and hydrocarbon-rich micelles in aqueous solutions. The coexisting regions have been predicted by the group contribution method in thermodynamic approach. The micro-phase separation in aggregates has been investigated by various experimental methods, fluorescent probe method, NMR, AFM, SANS.
