Nonionic Surfactant Micelles and Mixed Micelles with Phospholipids

  • Chapter
Solution Chemistry of Surfactants

Abstract

The solution properties of nonionic surfactants of the polyoxyethylene variety and their interactions with various phospholipids are reviewed. Studies on polydisperse surfactants of the octylphenylpolyoxyethylene (OPE) class such as Triton X-100 as well as on homogeneous, monodisperse surfactants such as octylphenylnonaoxyethylene glycol (OPE-9) and n-dodecyloctaethylene glycol (C12EO8) are included. Physical properties such as CMC, cloud point, molecular weight, and aggregation number are provided and recently developed models for micellar structure are examined. In contrast to ionic surfactants, possible models include classical micellar structures such as oblate ellipsoids and non-classical spherical micelles in which some of the oxyethylene groups extend into the hydrophobic region giving rise to a less well-defined interface region. The use of 1H and 13C NMR techniques to study micellar structure is emphasized, particularly when phospholipids are included to form mixed micelles. Recent NMR studies have helped to delineate the precise 3-dimensional conformation of the phospholipid molecules in mixed micelles with nonionic surfactants.
