Journal Pre-proof Introduction The wide use of surfactant-polymer systems in industry has led to the further study and investigation of surfactant-polymer mixtures [1-2]. Applications of surfactantpolymer mixtures vary greatly from industrial products in almost all parts of daily life (detergents, cosmetics, paints, coatings, foods and pharmaceutical manufacturing) to biological systems (structure and function of membranes and transfer of lipids) [3-7]. A clear understanding of the nature of surfactant-polymer interactions in aqueous solutions has been attracting scientific interest. In view of the applications, comprehending these interactions is very important for estimating solution properties.

of

Because surfactant molecules have distinct properties such as hydrophilic head

ro

and hydrophobic tail groups, their solutions do not act as a simple solution. Their characteristics, which vary, based on their concentrations. As the concentration of the

-p

surfactant increases in the solution, these molecules tend to combine at the critical

re

micelle concentration (CMC) due to their self-assembly properties. The similarities between aggregations of surfactants and polymers solutions in water make it difficult to

lP

understand surfactant-polymer systems. The hydrophobic-hydrophilic structure of a neutral polymer affects its solubility. According to the Cabane and Duplessix model [8,

na

9], the polymer-surfactant interactions start at the critical aggregation concentration (CAC). This concentration is denoted the CAC because it is concentration at which

Jo ur

surfactants begin to interact with a polymer, and it is usually less than the CMC. Surfactants that are subsequently added to the solution later bond to the saturated polymer, forming a micelle in the solution. The concentration at which typical micelles form is called C2 [10].

The dissolution behaviour in water is controlled by the intermolecular forces between water and water and/or water and the soluble material. The interactions of surfactants can be categorized into three groups based on the following: the hydrophobicity of the alkyl chain, the hydrophilicity of the head group structure and the electrostatic character of the head group in ionic surfactants [11]. The hydrophobic properties of surfactants are mostly related to the length or size of the alkyl chain. The hydrophilic properties of ionic surfactants are associated with the polarity, hydrogenbonding capacity and charge distribution of the head group structure. The electrostatic interactions of the ionic surfactant head group can account for particular transitions of the ionic surfactant to other phases and for the formation of ion pairs and ion bridges 3

Journal Pre-proof with other phases [12]. The resulting hydration sphere of the surfactant greatly affects its alignment in water [13]. All the physico-chemical characteristics influence the organization of water molecules in the vicinity of the surfactant and determine whether hydration is strong or weak, that is, kosmotropic or chaotropic, respectively. The interactions between the head groups of the surfactants and the ions/counter ions at the micelle surfaces can be examined using the Hofmeister ion series, and therefore, the ions can also be classified as kosmotropic and chaotropic; specifically Cl is a kosmotrope, and Br is a chaotrope [14, 15]. The counter ions of the charged head groups of ionic surfactants have been known to affect the organization or arrangement

of

of surfactant molecules in water [16]. The counter ion impacts the adsorption layer and micelle aggregation process, due to its different nature, charge and polarizability or

ro

hydration degree [17].

-p

Although numerous studies have explored the interactions between natural polymers and surfactants, the nature of neutral polymer-surfactant interactions is not yet

re

fully understood [18, 19]. Until recently, either variations in the length of the chain of the surfactant or the effects of different polymer masses were generally examined [20-

lP

24]. For example Majhi et al. (2001) [22] investigated the interactions of CTAB and TTAB surfactants with PVP at different PVP concentrations and a constant temperature.

na

CTAB and TTAB have the same head group but different chain lengths. Moreover, the study also examined to what degree the enthalpy of dilution of the surfactant and the

Jo ur

salt solution is directly influenced by PVP to acquire data about the quality of its interaction with the the polymer. Sood et al. (2009) [23] studied the micellization behaviour of cationic surfactants with bulky head groups. In particular, they examined alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chlorides (C14, C16, and C18BCl) in water and in aqueous solutions of PVP, PEG-20, and PEG-06 at 298.15 K. The mixed micelle properties of these surfactants in the presence of PVP were also investigated and at various temperatures. The chosen surfactants and prepared mixed surfactants had increasing, chain lengths. Therefore, the effects of the chain length on the polymersurfactant interactions were investigated. Sardar et al. (2013) [24] systematically examined the interactions between cationic gemini surfactants and the neutral polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K15 and K90), focusing on the impacts of the molecular weight on the neutral polymer-cationic surfactant interactions and the rheological characteristics a function of the polymer and surfactant concentrations. The study also explored the effects of the chain length on the polymer-gemini surfactant interactions. 4

Journal Pre-proof Experimental Procedure The quantities of the materials used in the experiments were measured using an AND trademark HR-120 model assay balance with a 10-4 sensitivity. Different amounts of the surfactants (0.5 mM-5 mM) were added to a constant volume of deionized water to prepare individual solution samples with different concentrations. The determined amounts of the surfactants (0.5 mM-5 mM ) were added to a PVP-water solution (%1 PVP (w/V)) with a constant volume to study the interactions between polymer and surfactant. The conductivities of all the samples were measured in the temperature range

ranges for the temperature and electroconductivity were 5–100 °C (with an accuracy of 0.2 °C) and 1 μS/cm-2 S/cm (the accuracy, which is temperature dependent, is 5%), respectively.

Prior to the experiments, it is necessary to calibrate the probe; a 0.1 mol/l KCl calibration liquid was used to perform the procedure according to the operating manual. To measure the dependence of the electrical conductivities of the samples on the temperature, a PHYWE trademark thermostat and water bath were used. Using the temperature sensor on the probe, the temperature of the sample could be directly read from the measurement terminal. When the temperature reached equilibrium and the system was stabilized, the electrical conductivity of the sample was measured at the given temperature. The experiments were repeated at least 3 times.

In Figures 2a and 2c, the intersection point of the two straight lines represents the usual CMC of surfactants CTACl and CTABr, respectively, at a constant temperature. The change in the conductivity values following the CMC is explained by the binding of the counter ion to the micelle.

-p

As shown in Table 1 and, Figures 2a and 2c, the CMC value of CTACl is higher

re

than that of CTABr due to difference in the counter-ion radius. The ionic radius of bromine (rBr=0.196 nm) is larger than that of chlorine (rCl=0.181 nm), i.e., rBr>rCl [16].

lP

The strength of the electrostatic attraction decreases as the counter-ion radius increases. Therefore, the electrical repulsion decreases between the micelle head groups of the

na

CTABr molecules, which have Br counter ions enabling micelles to aggregate at lower concentration. It is a characteristic feature of micellization that CMC is to a first

Jo ur

approximation independent of temperature [10]. The CMC may decrease increase or indicate a conspicuous minimum with increasing temperature. Thus, the increase in the CMC values of CTACl and CTABr with temperature may be ascribed to disruption of structured solvent molecules surrounding the hydrophobic groups and desolvation of the ionic head groups [26].

The counter-ion influences the process of micelle aggregation. If the counter ion Br is more polarisable than Cl [27] and has a higher binding efficiency to the micelles, a strong dispersive interaction results, leading to a greater tendency to form cylindrical micelles. Br ions have a stronger ability to form micelles than Cl ions [27], which can be explained by the fact that Br ions are readily able to penetrate into the Stern-layer and facilitate the aggregation of micelles. The electrostatic interactions in neutral polymer/surfactant systems are much weaker than those in the absence of the polymer [28]; thus, the specific conductivity trend can change. The two breaks observed in the presence of the polymer indicate that 8

Journal Pre-proof two types of aggregation occur. The first is called CAC, at which the interaction of the surfactant with the polymer chain begins. As shown in Table 1, the CAC values are smaller than the CMC values. The second is defined as C2, at which the surfactant molecules completely saturate the polymer chains and form normal micelles as well [29, 30]. The degree of ionization of the surfactant (CTABr or CTACl)-polymer (PVP) mixture (α1) can be estimated from the slope and appears to be higher than the degree of ionization of the ordinary micelles in the polymer-containing solution (α2). This result indicates that the micelles at C2 are less ionized than those at the CAC, which is attributed to the decrease the interfacial polarity due to the structural transitions [8]. The

ratios of S2/S1 and S3/S1 can be used to obtain the α1 and α2 values, respectively.

Figure 3. Changes in the critical concentrations with temperature in the presence of PVP

The CAC and C2 values obtained in the presence of PVP are plotted in Figure 3 and shown in Table 1. The CAC and C2 values change slightly with temperature in the presence of the polymer. Although the CAC values of the two surfactants are close to each other, the C2 value of CTACl is higher than that of CTABr (a comparison of the CMC values of CTACl and CTABr shows that the CMC value of CTACl is higher than that of CTABr). The range of C2-CAC gives information about the bonding of the surfactant to the polymer [15, 31]. An increase in the CAC-C2 range indicates that the bonding is stronger. The CTACl, range for CTACl is wider than that for CTABr; therefore, the 9

Journal Pre-proof bonding of CTACl/PVP is stronger than that of CTABr/PVP, due to the difference in the radii of the counter ions. The decrease in the C2-CAC value with the increasing counter ion radius shows that the strength of the interaction decreases as the counter-ion size increases (rBr> rCl). That is, the strength of the interaction and the radius of counter ion are inversely proportional. These results are consistent with those of Dubin et al. [20] and Benrraou et al. [28].

The variations in the degree of ionization (α) are shown as a function of temperature in Figure 4 and Table1. The α1 and α2 values vary non-linearly, which can be explained by the micelle-polymer interactions in the mixture. The degree of ionization shows that an increase in the counter-ion kinetic energy leads to an increase in the counter-ion mobility. The α1 and α2 values when the counter ion changed from Cl to Br, due to the increase in the counter-ion dimension, which results in a reduction in the strength of hydration [16, 17]. Less hydrated ions can be collected more easily in the micellar surface, which decreases the charge repulsion between the polar groups and therefore makes micellization easier, whereas the charges of heavily hydrated ions are partly shielded by the surrounding polar water molecules, and thus, these counter ions are less effective at reducing the charge repulsion between the head groups [25].

10

Journal Pre-proof The degree of ionization of the surfactant (CTACl or CTABr)-PVP complex (α1) could be evaluated from the slopes, and it is higher than the degree of ionization of ordinary micelles in the polymer-containing solution (α2), indicating that the micelles at the CAC are more ionized than those at C2, which can be explained by the enhancement in the interfacial polarity due to the structural change [8, 20]. The higher value of α1 for the complex micelle reveals an increase in the degree of ionic dissociation as a consequence of the interactions between the surfactants and polymer [32]. The appearance of ordinary micelles at C2 shows that the α2 degree of ionization is less influenced by the temperature and nearly stable. Although the α1

of

degree of ionization hardly changes at low temperatures, it increases slightly at

ro

temperatures over 303.15 K.

The Gibbs free energy of the micellization of each surfactant can be calculated using equations (1) and (4) for the pure and polymer-surfactant systems, respectively. Figures 5a and 5b show the variations in the Gibbs free energy with temperature, and 14

Journal Pre-proof the results are listed in tables 2 and 3. The values of ∆G are negative at all the investigated temperatures; thus, the micellization is thermodynamically spontaneous in the surfactant solution. Furthermore, and the decreasing trend in the ∆G values with increasing temperature indicates the desolvation of the hydrophilic group of the surfactant [38]. Therefore, the surfactant molecule is not as hydrated and requires a small amount of energy for the process of adsorption to occur at higher temperatures [39]. With the addition of the polymer (PVP) to the CTACl aqueous solution, the Gibbs free energy of the mixture becomes more complicated with increasing temperature. Additionally, when the polymer (PVP) is added to the CTABr aqueous solution, the

of

Gibbs free energy of the mixture becomes less negative with increasing temperature. It is also observed that the Gibbs free energy becomes less negative when the

counter ion is changed from Br to Cl, or its size reduced. The lower the Gibbs energy is,

This change in enthalpy indicates that the process changes from exothermic to endothermic. The variations in the enthalpy are also different with increasing temperature. In the presence of PVP, the enthalpy changes from positive to negative for CTACl but it remains positive for CTABr with increasing temperature. Figures 6c-d and tables 2 and 3 show the change of entropy (∆S) as a function of temperature for each surfactant.

temperatures. The micellization of CTACl in water is thus an entropy/enthalpy controlled process at lower temperatures and becomes enthalpy-controlled with increasing temperature. The value of the enthalpy (ΔH) might be negative when the hydration of the hydrophilic head groups becomes more significant than the destruction of the water structure around the hydrophobic alkyl chains of the surfactant monomer [42]. For the micellization of the CTACl surfactant in the presence of PVP the enthalpy (ΔH) decreases with increasing temperature and changes from positive to negative at high temperatures. The value of ΔS decreases and remains positive, even with increasing temperature. Whereas the micellization process becomes entropycontrolled at low temperatures, it is an entropy/enthalpy controlled process at high temperatures. Accordingly, the micellization process of the CTACl/PVP system depends on the simultaneous changes in the enthalpy and entropy [43]. 17

Journal Pre-proof For the micellization of pure CTABr in water, although the enthalpy is negative, the entropy is positive at all temperatures. The micellization of CTABr in water is thus an entropy/enthalpy controlled process. However, the addition of PVP to the mixture results in positive entropy (∆S) and enthalpy (ΔH) values; thus, the micellization becomes entropy-controlled. Their positive values indicate the importance of hydrophobic interactions [37]. A negative enthalpy value suggests that Londondispersion interactions are a significant attractive force in micellization, whereas a positive value implies the break-up of the water structure around the hydrophobic chains of the molecule [42]. The positive entropy value for the mixed surfactant

of

micelles might be caused by (1) variations in the hydrophobic section moving from the hydrated form in the aqueous environment to the non-polar micellar interior and (2) the

increased freedom of the hydrophobic parts in the micellar interior compared with that

in the aqueous medium [31, 42].

Conclusions

An electroconductivity method was employed to study the interactions between a

na

neutral polymer and cationic surfactant. The surfactant-PVP interactions are observed to be inherently cooperative and dependent on the temperature. It is therefore assumed that

Jo ur

for cationic surfactants, the polymer combines with the surfactant to form aggregates due to hydrophobic interactions between the polymer and aggregate. The counter ion of the surfactant affects the aggregation and thermodynamic properties. For both CTABr and CTACl interactions in pure water, the driving force was proposed to result from hydrophobic effects [44]. When PVP is added to the water and temperature is increased, the PVP-CTABr interaction is an entropy-controlled process, whereas the PVP-CTACl interaction is an entropy/enthalpy-controlled process, which can be explained by the fact that the Br counter ion is more chaotropic (disorder maker) than the Cl counter ion. Thus the Br counter ion forms more easily destabilized hydrophobic aggregates and increases the solubility of the hydrophobic chains. Accordingly, when the CTABr surfactant forms a micelle, the water structure around the hydrocarbon part is easily broken down, and an entropy change is the driving force in the presence of PVP. In addition, the Br counter ions have a much larger affinity to the interface than the Cl

18

Journal Pre-proof counter ions; hence, the repulsion of Cl from the interface is larger than that of Br due to the greater polarizability of Cl [27]. The polymer-surfactant interaction and the protein folding process resemble each other [25]. Accordingly, the present study is hopefully expected to contribute to comprehension of the process involved.
