2-aminoethanothiol hydrochloride (cysteamine) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Polyacrylic acid (M w 5 kDa) 50 wt% solution was purchased from ACROS Organics. The electroactive cationic surfactant (ferrocenylmethyl)hexadecyldimethylammonium bromide (FcCDAB) was prepared in our laboratory following a protocol reported by Jeffrey Gold and coworkers [52, (link)53] (link). All the polyelectrolyte and surfactant solutions were prepared with deionized water: 1 mg/ml PAA 5kDa (pH 3.7), 2 mM CTAB, 2 mM FcCDAB and CTAB-FcCDAB mixed surfactant solutions presenting a 2 mM total surfactant concentration with the following CTAB molar fractions (X sc CTAB ): 0.9, 0.7 and 0.5. Solutions of 1 mg/ml PAA resulted in a pH value of 3.7; at this condition, the PAA is protonated around 90% [40] (link). The CTAB and FcCDAB solutions were prepared over the critical micelle concentration, 0.98 mM [54] (link) and 0.17 mM [33] (link), respectively (at 25 °C in the absence of salt).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
