To assess the remediation possibility of groundwater contaminated with MTBE, micellar solubilization by various surfactants was evaluated. Micellar solubilization is basic phenomena to apply micellar enhanced ultrafiltration for groundwater remediation contaminated with MTBE. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) shows the best removal efficiency among various nonionic, cationic and anionic surfactants. Molar ratio of SDS to MTBE was the most important factor for removal of MTBE using micellar solubilization. With the ratio of more than 13, the removal efficiency was saturated to 55%.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been regarded as a promising material for the fabrication of flexible conductors such as transparent electrodes, flexible heaters, and transparent speakers. In this study, a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) film was deposited on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using a spraying technique. MWCNTs were dispersed in water using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). To evaluate the effect of the weight ratio between SDS and MWCNTs on the electromechanical properties of the film, direct tensile tests and optical strain measurement were conducted. It was found that the CNT film hardly affected the mechanical behavior of CNT/PET composite films, while the electrical behavior of the CNT film was strongly affected by the SDS concentration in the CNT film. The electrical resistance of CNT/PET films gradually increased with the strain applied to the PET substrate, even up to a large strain that ruptured the substrate.

The separation of metallic and semiconducting single-wall carbon nanobubes (SWCNTs) by agarose gel method was carried out in this study. The effect of concentration of agarose, SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate), and pH in the solution on separation behavior was investigated. With increasing the concentration of agarose in the solution, it showed that the ratio of metallic SWCNTs, which was analyzed from UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, was increased in the solution phase, while the overall concentration of SWCNTs was decreased. With increasing the concentration of SDS, we could observe that the ratio of metallic SWCNTs was increased due to more affinity between SDS molecules and metallic SWCNT. The highest metallic SWCNTs ratio was reached up to 58.4% when the pH of solution was 8.2.

Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals were synthesized by pulsed laser ablations in de-ionized water and sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaC12H25SO4, SDS) aqueous solution for up-conversion (UC) luminescence bio-labeling applications. The influences of the SDS molecules on the crystallinities, crystal morphologies, crystallite sizes, and UC luminescence properties of the prepared Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals were investigated in detail. Under a 980-nm excitation, the Er3+/Yb3+-codoped nanocolloidal NaLa(MoO4)2 suspension exhibited a weak red emission near 670 nm and strong green UC emissions at 530 and 550 nm, corresponding to the intra 4f transitions of Er3+ (4F9/2, 2H11/2, 4S3/2) → Er3+ (4I15/2). When the SDS solution was used, a smaller average crystallite size, narrower size distribution, and enhanced UC luminescence were observed. These characteristics were attributed to the amphoteric SDS molecules attached to the positively charged Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals, effectively occupying the oxygen defect on their surfaces. The Er3+/Yb3+-codoped nanocrystalline NaLa(MoO4)2 suspension prepared in the SDS solution exhibited a remarkably strong green emission visible to the naked eyes.

Enhancement of surfactant on release of secretory enzyme, such as $\alpha$-amylase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase, was investigated during submerged culture of Rhizopus oryzae. Morphological changes of colony was occured; small pelletal form in 0.18mM of sodium dodecyl sulfate, pulpy form in 0.48mM of sodium deoxycholate, and filamentous form in absence of surfactant. It. Supplement of sodium dodecyl sulfate induced 9 times increasing activity of $\alpha$-amylase and that of acid phosphatase 25 times in cultural fluids. Alkaline phosphatase was increased 11 times in cultural fluid and also stimulated in cytoplasm with supplement of sodium deoxycholate.

Detergency and surface active properties of mixed anionic surfactants with amphoteric and nonionic were investigated. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and ammonium dodecyl sulfate (ADS) as anionic surfactants and cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) as an amphoteric surfactant were used. Nonionic surfactants, which are butyl glucoside (BG), octyl glucoside (OG), decyl glucoside (DG), lauryl dimethylamine oxide (AO) and saponin were also used. To study the synergy effects of mixed SDS/ADS anionic surfactant systems, amphoteric and nonionic surfactants were added into the mixed anionic surfactants. Investigated properties of surfactant mixtures were critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface tension (${\gamma}$), wettability. In addition, based on these properties, detergency of each sample was examined. Surfactant mixtures are anionics (SDS/ADS), anionic/amphoteric/nonionic (SDS/ADS/CAPB/saponin), and anionic/nonionic (SDS/ADS/BG/saponin, SDS/ADS/OG/saponin, SDS/ADS/DG/saponin, and SDS/ADS/AO/saponin). With the addition of amphoteric and nonionic to mixed anionic surfactants, CMC and ${\gamma}$ were decreased. Addition of CAPB, which is amphoteric, showed the best property at CMC and ${\gamma}$. Furthermore, as the chain length of hydrocarbon in alkyl glucosides was increased, the CMC and ${\gamma}$ were enhanced. However, the wettability did not exactly match up with CMC and ${\gamma}$. The surfactant mixture, which contained DG, showed the best performance at wetting time. Detergency was measured at various temperatures ($15^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$). The cleaning performance was enhanced by increasing washing temperature. Moreover, detergency was influenced by not only CMC and ${\gamma}$ but also wettability. Although CMC and ${\gamma}$ were not minimum at surfactant mixture that included DG, the best cleaning performance showed in that sample.

Heavy metals, Cd and Pb, in soil were extracted by using anionic surfactants such as AOS (alpha olefin sulfonate), SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate), and LAS (linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid). Metal extractability from soil was affected by the carbon number and solution pH of surfactants. LAS showed higher metal extractability due to the acidic solution condition. Although SDS has a fewer carbon number than AOS, it would produce smaller micelles and resulted in more efficient extraction of metals by increased soil contact. Cd extractability of surfactant was twice enhanced by adding NaI as a ligand. However, Pb extractability of surfactant was sometimes reduced by adding NaI. Those ligand effects were dependent on solubility of metal-ligand. The column experiment also showed that SDS having smaller micelles resulted in higher metal extractability than AOS.

Brucella abortus cell wall antigen was extracted from Brucella abortus 1119-3 by ultrasonication and followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) treatment. In order to confirm whether this preparation is serologically cross reactive with Yersinia enterocolitica 0:9, Western blot analysis with mouse anit-Brucella abortus1119-3 and with mouse anti-Yersinia enterocolitica 0:9 was performed. ELISA results from using those Brucella antigen and Yersinia antigen were assessed whether they had correlation. According to the results of western blot analysis and ELISA, there was no evidence of cross reactivity between the Brucella abortus 1119-3 antigen preparation and Yersinia enterocolitica 0:9. Therefore the SDS treated antigen prepared in this study could be suitably used as specific ELISA antigen without confusion in the interpretation of serological tests for brucellosis in cattle.

The effect of the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to a buffered mobile phase (pH 3.4) on the retention of nucleotides, nucleosides and bases was investigated with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) column. Depending on the concentration of SDS, two different trends in the retention of nucleosides and bases containing an $NH_2$ group were observed. If the concentration of SDS was less than 5.5 mM, the retention of compounds containing an $NH_2$ group increased as the concentration of SDS in the mobile phase increased. In contrast, if the concentration was greater than 5.5 mM, the retention of compounds containing an $NH_2$ group decreased. Thus, the SDS acted as an ion-pairing reagent at lower concentration but formed micelles at higher concentrations. The retention behavior of the nucleosides and bases in the presence of a micellar concentration of SDS in the mobile phase on the PVA column was compared to the retention behavior on other types of columns.

Micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) is a surfactant-based separation process and it can remove heavy metal ions from aqueous stream effectively. However, it is necessary to recover and reuse surfactants for economic feasibility because surfactant is expensive. Foam fractionation was investigated for both anionic and cationic surfactant recovery. Chelating agent such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was studied for the separation of heavy metals from surfactant solution. Anionic surfactants bound with heavy metals can be recovered by lowering pH (acidification). In this study, citric acid and imminodiacetic acid (IDA) were applied to release copper from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solution and compared with EDTA. Precipitation of copper by ferricynide and sodium sulfide were also investigated. As a result, ca. 100 % of copper was released from SDS micellar solution by 5 mM of EDTA and citric acid. And 3.3 mM of ferricyanide formed precipitate with 82.7 % of copper. 5 mM of IDA and sodium sulfide released or formed precipitate 82.5 % and 58.9 % of copper, respectively. Citric acid is harmless to environments and ferricyanide precipitates with Cu easily. Therefore, it is considered that citric acid and ferricyanide have competiveness over a famous chelating agent, EDTA, for the separation of Cu from SDS solution.
