Abstract:
The effect of anionic surfactants (single-chained Na n-dodecyl sulfate (SDS), asym. double-chained Na bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT), and two-headed disodium oleoamido PEG-2 sulfosuccinate) on the crystn. process of Ca H phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) was studied. All surfactants, depending on the type and actual concn., showed inhibitory effects on the overall crystn. process. Below the crit. micelle concn. (cmc), electrostatic adsorption of surfactant anions on lateral crystal faces inhibited crystal growth and changed crystal morphol. Above the cmc, SDS and AOT caused phase changes; i.e., a mixt. of DCPD and octacalcium phosphate was formed. [on SciFinder(R)]
