SANS METHOD FOR INVESTIGATION OF
MICELLAR SURFACTANT
SYSTEMS
Summer Student Practice in Joint Institute for Nuclear Research 2012
OUR SUPERVISOR:DR ALDONA RAJEWSKA
FRANK LABORATORY OF NEUTRON PHYSICS
THE AIM OF OUR PROJECT
In our experiment we determined the temperature and concentration influence on the micelle shape of the
nonionic surfactant C10E7 by small-angle neutron scattering method.
C10E7heptaethylene glycol monodecyl ether
C24H50O8
H-(OCH2CH2)7OCH2(CH2)8CH3
WHAT ARE SURFACTANTS?
Surfactants (SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS) are the chemical compounds which consist of two parts: polar, hydrophilic head (P) and apolar, hydrophobic tail (R).
CLASSIFICATION OF SURFACTANTS
CLASSICAL GEMINI
CLASSICAL SURFACTANTS
IONIC
NONIONIC
ANIONIC
CATIONIC
ZWITTERIONIC
CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF SURFACTANTS
Adsorption at various interfaces
CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF SURFACTANTS
Micellization
THE CRITICAL MICELLE CONCENTRATION
It is the concentration of surfactants above which micelles form in the bulk phase.
WHAT CAN BE DETERMINED?
¥ Critical micelle concentration
¥ Aggregation number
¥ Shape and size of the micelles
¥ Counterion binding degree
¥ Surface free energy
SHAPES OF MICELLES
THE ROLE OF SURFACTANTS
¥ Cleaning
¥ Emulsifying
¥ Wetting
¥ Dispersing
¥ Foaming
¥ Antifoaming
¥ Solubilizing
APPLICATION OF SURFACTANTS
SANS – SMALL ANGLE NEUTRON SCATTERING
In this method, the beam of neutrons is elastically scattered bya sample. The scattering pattern provides informations about the shape, size and orientation of components of the sample. SANS is used for studying the structure of a material on length scale of 10 to 1000 Å.

SCATTERING INTENSITIES AND DISTANCE DISTRIBUTION
FUNCTIONS OF GEOMETRICAL BODIES
H-(OCH2CH2)7OCH2(CH2)8CH3
WHAT INFORMATION CAN WE OBTAIN?
¥ Volume fraction, data consistency
¥ Specific surface area, surfactant head group area
¥ General or specific dimensions
¥ Particle volume, molecular weight.
What are the disadvantages?
Nuclear reactors needed
Price
Sometimes long measurement times
