Molecular weights (MWs), critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of PPM and DDM, and hydrodynamic diameters (Dh) (mean ± S.D., n = 5) of their micelles in water
| Detergent | MW[a] | CMC (μM) | CMC (wt%) | Dh (nm)[b] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPM | 1533.5 | ~8 (~6)[c] | ~0.0012 (~0.009)[c] | 6.2±0.1 |
| DDM | 510.6 | ~170 | ~0.0087 | 6.8±0.1 |
[a]
Molecular weight of detergents.
[b]
Hydrodynamic diameter of micelles determined at 1.0 wt % by dynamic light scattering.
[c]
CMC obtained from using fluorescence intensity ratio (I375/I363) of the penta-phenylene unit.
