The adsolubilization of dihydroxybenzenes (catechol and hydroquinone) into cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) layers on silica particles have been investigated by dye method and UV spectrum. It is found that the adsolubilization amount of catechol increases with increasing the concentration of CTAB, reaches a maximum value at the critical micelle concentration (CMC), and then decreases with further increment of CTAB concentration. For hydroquinone, different phenomenon is observed. The maximum adsolubilization amount reaches at critical surface aggregation concentration (CSAC) instead of CMC of the CTAB and then decreases to constant values. In order to analyze the adsolubilization difference between catechol and hydroquinone, we determined the interaction between them and CTAB in the bulk solution by measuring the diffusion coefficient of dihydroxybenzenes with ultramicroelectrode (UME). The individual contributions to the overall apparent diffusion coefficient of dihydroxybenzenes in CTAB solutions were also calculated. The results indicate that more hydroquinone than catechol could interact with CTAB molecules. However, rarely hydroquinone could interact with CTAB micelles compared with catechol. It is suggested that the substitution positions of hydroxyl lead to the difference of the interaction between dihydroxybenzenes and CTAB, which is responsible for the difference of the adsolubilization.

"Smart" fluids displaying large changes in their rheological properties in response to external stimuli have been of great interest in recent years. For example, "smart" wormlike micelles (WLMs) that respond to pH can be readily formulated by combining a cationic surfactant such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) with an aromatic compound such as 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (DHB). Here, we show that a pH-responsive aqueous formulation as mentioned above can be simultaneously made responsive to ultraviolet (UV) light by incorporating a photoacid generator (PAG) into the system.

Here, we demonstrate a facile bottom-up strategy to fabricate Pt nanoclusters (Pt NCs) grafted onto three-dimensional graphene foam (3D GF) assisted by cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) using the electrodeposition method. The homogeneous grafting of Pt NC onto 3D GF is due to the formation of hemimicelles above some CTAB concentration. With the unique nanocluster structure and the high content of Pt, the Pt NC/3D GF nanohybrid exhibits extremely high activity and shows higher reusability and stability.

Diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) is an important technique for separating the NMR signals of the components in a mixture, and relies on differences in diffusion coefficient. Standard DOSY experiments therefore struggle when the components of a mixture are of similar size, and hence diffuse at similar rates. Fortunately, the diffusion coefficients of solutes can be manipulated by changing the matrix in which they diffuse, using matrix components that interact differentially with them, a technique known as matrix-assisted DOSY.

Fluorescence enhancement and quenching of water soluble chelates of terbium (Tb3+) with Tiron, salicylic acid (SA), 4-sulfonyl salicylic acid (SSA) and acetylacetone (AA) and sparingly soluble chelates of europium (Eu3+) with beta-diketones were comparatively examined in the presence of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC). By the composition of the complexes, surface tension measurements and spectral analysis, the binding mode of chelate anions to the micellar surface of cationic surfactants was discussed in terms of ion-exchange model. Quenching effect of CPC on the fluorescence of association complexes seems to arise from the charge transfer from a fluorescent ligand to pyridinium cation.
