Sodium Hydroxide → L-Leucine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A similar dispersion was prepared with the use of Pluronic F-68 as stabilizer. An amount of 0.152 grams of leucine hydrochloride was added to 0.852 grams of nanostructured reverse bicontinuous cubic phase material as above, and an upper phase consisting of 0.08 grams of F-68, 1.0 gram of 1 M sodium hydroxide, and 3.0 grams of water was overlaid on the nanostrucrured reverse bicontinuous cubic phase material and sonicated. Again, a milky-white dispersion of leucine-coated microparticles was formed, where this time the F-68 amphiphilic block copolymer surfactant coated the outer (leucine-based) surface of the particles.
