Abstract :
The synthesis and physico-chemical investigation of a cationic, water-soluble surfactant of formula C8F17CH2CH(OH)CH2NH2+CH2CH(OH)CH2OH, Lac− (Lac = lactobionate), bearing a single-fluorocarbon tail and the lactobionate moiety as a counterion is reported. It forms spontaneously in water bilayer vesicles with a polydisperse distribution in size. This behavior could be attributed to a possible asymmetry of the bilayers due to an excess of the counterion outside the vesicles and possible stabilization by hydrogen bond interactions between the aminoalcohol polar heads of the cationic surfactant inside the vesicle.
