VESICLES FOR CHEMICAL REAGENT STORAGE & RELEASE

该项目的目标是开发泡囊系统。 基于官能化表面活性剂的同时 化学战剂(模拟物)的去污和信号传递。 该项目的一个重要部分涉及合成和 新型离子表面活性剂的表征。经常刻画 包括低分辨率和高分辨率质谱分析，利用 快原子轰击(FAB)电离。我们的许多表面活性剂都是 不适用于燃烧分析，因此测量分辨率高 表面活性离子的组成证明了燃烧 分析不能。

The objective of this project is to develop vesicular systems based on functionalized surfactants for the simultaneous decontamination and signaling of chemical warfare agents (simulants). A significant part of the project involves the synthesis and characterization of novel ionic surfactants. Characterization often includes both low and high resolution mass spectral analysis utilizing fast atom bombardment (FAB) ionization. Many of our surfactants are not amenable to combustion analysis, thus high resolution measurements of surfactant ions provides proof of composition that combustion analysis cannot.
