Interaction of gums (guar, carboxymethylhydroxypropyl guar, diutan, and xanthan) with surfactants (DTAB, CTAB, and TX-100) in aqueous medium

The interaction of surfactants dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and p-tert-octylphenoxypolyoxyethylene (9.5) ether (TX-100) with guar (Gr), carboxymethylhydroxypropyl guar (CMHPG), diutan (Dn), and xanthan (Xn) gums has been studied employing conductome...

Zusammenfassung:The interaction of surfactants dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and p-tert-octylphenoxypolyoxyethylene (9.5) ether (TX-100) with guar (Gr), carboxymethylhydroxypropyl guar (CMHPG), diutan (Dn), and xanthan (Xn) gums has been studied employing conductometry, tensiometry, microcalorimetry, viscometry, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. Both weak and strong interactions were observed. CTAB interacted stronger than DTAB with the gums. The surfactant-gum interaction process was enhanced by the presence of borate ions in the solution; the borate ion itself also manifested interaction with the surfactants comparable with that of water-soluble polymers polyvinyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene, and so forth. Viscometric results supported configurational changes of the gum molecules by interaction with surfactants. The geometry of the pure gums and their CTAB interacted products in the dried states was ascertained from AFM measurements; spherical and prolate shapes were observed for pure gums, and distorted states were observed for their surfactant complexed species. Detailed topological features of these entities were ascertained
