The ITIES with an adsorbed monolayer of surfactant has been studied as a model system of the interface between microphases in a bicontinuous microemulsion [39]. This latter system has important applications in electrochemical synthesis and catalysis [88-92]. Quantitative measurements of the kinetics of electrochemical processes in microemulsions are difficult to perform directly, due to uncertainties in the area over which the organic and aqueous reactants contact. The SECM feedback mode allowed the rate of catalytic reduction of tra 5-l,2-dibromocyclohexane in benzonitrile by the Co(I) form of vitamin B12, generated electrochemically in an aqueous phase to be measured as a function of interfacial potential drop and adsorbed surfactants [39]. It was found that the reaction at the ITIES could not be interpreted as a simple second-order process. In the absence of surfactant at the ITIES the overall rate of the interfacial reaction was virtually independent of the potential drop across the interface and a similar rate constant was obtained when a cationic surfactant (didodecyldimethylammonium bromide) was adsorbed at the ITIES. In contrast a threefold decrease in the rate constant was observed when an anionic surfactant (dihexadecyl phosphate) was used.

Materials. Sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and fully deuterated sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS-d ) were obtained from Sigma and Cambridge Isotope Laboratories respectively, and used as received. The cationic surfactants, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) were purchased from Eastman Kodak, and purified by repeated recrystallization from an ethanol/acetone solvent pair. Even so, a small amount of surface active impurity was observed in surface tension plots for DTAC. The tetradecyldimethylamine oxide (C14AO) was a commercial sample (Ammonyx MO) obtained from Stepan (Control No. 533-30027). This sample is primarily C14AO, but also contains other chain length components. Sodium chloride (NaCl) was obtained from EM Science and used as received. Water was purified by a three stage Bamstead water purification system. 

Reversal of the direction of the EOF using the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium hydroxide (DDAOH) in reversed polarity mode has also been reported (16). The bromide form of this surfactant (DDAB (didodecyldimethylammonium bromide)) was converted to the hydroxide form to eliminate an undesirable system peak caused by bromide. Using 10 mM phenylphosphonic acid as the probe and a buffer consisting of 200 mM borate, 0.35 mM DDAOH, and 0.03% Trition X-100 at pH 4.0, the separation of 8 alkylphosphonates was achieved in less than 3 min. Eimits of detection were in the 100 xg/L range.

Approximately 6 mu iron nanoparticles are formed if Fe(CO)s is thermally decomposed in the presence of oleic acid and TBP. Their structure is bcc, like that of bulk iron. 2mn Fe particles are generated if the decomposition of Fe(CO)s is performed in TOP at 320 340 °C. They can be used to form rod-shaped species of 11 27 mu length by heating in pyridine in the presence of didodecyldimethylammonium bromide. ...

The phases include an oil-rich isotropic phase L2, lamellar phases, and five distinct cubic strut phases, including the G, D, P, C(P), and an unknown phase C5. Above the cubic phases are regions of two- and three-phase coexistence. (From Strom and Anderson 1992, reprinted with permission from Langmuir 8 691. Copyright 1992, American Chemical Society.)...

Very few rheological data have been reported for ordered cubic phases of surfactant solutions. However, Radiman et al. (1994) have reported dynamic oscillatory data for solutions of didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) in deuterated water and octane. Their data for type II cubic P and D phases are shown in Fig. 12-29. They report that the samples...
