Thermodynamic Behavior of Non-Ionic Tri-block Copolymers in Water at Three Temperatures
2006
Apparent molar volumes (V Φ) of aqueous solutions of some copolymers, based on ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) units, were determined as functions of concentration at three temperatures. Viscosity measurements were also carried out on some of these systems. The effects studied include how the molecular architecture and the molecular weight affect the aggregation of the copolymer, keeping constant the EO/PO ratio. Modeling of the volumetric data yielded the partial molar volume of the copolymer in the standard (V°) and the aggregated (V M) states, as well as the equilibrium constant for micellization and the aggregation number. Analysis of the viscosity data supported the insigh…
Solutions properties and solute–solvent interactions in ternary sugar–salt–water solutions
2010
International audience; Viscometric constants were used to provide information on solute-solvent interactions in ternary water-sugar-salt solutions. Comparison was made between pure water and aqueous salt solution as solvents affecting the behaviour of small carbohydrates. The determination of intrinsic viscosity was made more accurate by applying triple extrapolation of the three equations (Huggins. Kramer and Meffroy-Biget). Results obtained with this triple extrapolation method were compared to that obtained with the Jones-Dole equation usually used. The B coefficient of the Jones-Dole equation was interpreted in terms of its components (B(size)) and (B(structure)), respectively assigned…
Volume and heat capacity studies to evidence interactions between cyclodextrins and nicotinic acid in water
2008
Density and heat capacity of the water+cyclodextrin (CD), water+nicotinic acid (NA) and water+CD+NA mixtures were determined at 298.15 K. CDs with different cavity size and alkylation were selected. From the experimental data the apparent molar properties were calculated. Assuming the formation of inclusion complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry, these properties were modeled and provided the stability constants of CD/NA inclusion complexes and the corresponding property change. The binding of NA with the smallest sized alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) generates more stable complexes accompanied by the lower volume and the heat capacity changes. These results are in agreement with earlier proposed bin…
