“…Analogous results have been previously [1] obtained for the perturbation of the dynamics of the oscillating BZ reaction with polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and the chemical mechanism have been proposed on the base of the polymer chain (or backbone) and terminal group reaction. The experimental results conformed a chemical mechanism which implies that the effects caused by polymer backbone reactions resulted more important at low polymer concentrations while the terminal group reactions dominate at high concentration.…”

“…These peculiar species can be properly exploited to initiate radical polymerization reaction [9,10]. Recently [1], we have carried out systematic studies to determine how polymers, like polyethylene glycols (PEGs), can affect the dynamics of the BZ reaction. The chemical reaction mechanism associated with the perturbation has been proposed and successful corroborated by doing model calculations applying the latest model of the BZ reaction [2], the Marburg-Budapest-Missoula (MBM) mechanism.…”

“…6,7 The combination of a chemical oscillator with peculiar reaction environments is a subject extensively studied during the past years. In particular, examples about BZ reaction include gels, 8 synthetic membranes, 9 ion-exchange resins, 10 micelles, 11,12 polymers, 13,14 water in oil reverse microemulsions, 15,16 and lipid bilayers. 17,18 Among the above-mentioned modifying reaction media, surfactant forming micelles revealed to be very intriguing and promising.…”

“…Moreover, due to its surface activity properties, SDS has often been used to favor the spreading of BZ mixtures over glass Petri dishes in order to create thin solution layers (almost two-dimensional). [20][21][22] Systematic studies [11][12][13][14] dealing with the effect of organized systems have been recently undertaken in our group to both elucidate the reaction mechanism and to observe the appearance, if any, of new nonlinear phenomena. In particular, the presence of SDS, both below and above critical micelles concentration (cmc, the concentration at which micelles are formed), influences the temporal dynamics of closed stirred BZ systems.…”

The effects of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the spatio-temporal and temporal dynamics of the ferroin-catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction have been studied over a wide surfactant concentration range. For the first time, investigations were performed also for unstirred systems. The presence of SDS in the reaction mixture influences the oscillatory parameters to an extent that significantly depends on the surfactant concentration. The trend of the wave speed V upon the increasing amount of SDS was found to have a maximum at [SDS] ) 0.075 mol dm -3 (V ) 0.071 mm s -1 ), after which the speed decreased to 0.043 mm s -1 at [SDS] ) 0.5 mol dm -3 , which is below the value found in the absence of the surfactant (V ) 0.055 mm s -1 ). The response of the oscillatory BZ system to the addition of SDS has been ascribed to two different causes: (a) the peculiar capability of the organized surfactant assemblies to affect the reactivity by selectively sequestering some key reacting species and (b) the modifications induced by SDS on the physical properties of the medium. These hypotheses have been corroborated by performing spectrophotometric investigations on the stirred BZ system. Complementary viscosity measurements gave useful hints for the clarification of the surfactant role.

“…Among the model systems that have attracted the attention of researchers, the oscillating reaction of Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) is one of the most extensively studied. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In fact, the first study was undertaken in order to mimic the Krebs cycle. In its "classic" version, the BZ reaction consists of the bromuration and oxidation of an organic substrate (the malonic acid) in strongly acidic medium, in the presence of a catalyst (one electron redox couple, usually the system Ce(IV)/Ce(III) or Ferroin/Ferriin).…”

The response of the Belousov-Zhabotinsy (BZ) system to the addition of increasing amounts of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was monitored at 25.0°C in stirred batch conditions. The presence of SDS in the reaction mixture influences the oscillatory parameters, i.e., induction period and oscillation period, to an extent that depends on the surfactant concentration. The experimental results have shown that the induction period increases slightly on increasing surfactant concentration and, then, a further increase in the [SDS] leads to an enhancement while the oscillation period increases monotonously on increasing SDS concentration. It has been proposed that the response of the oscillatory BZ system to the addition of SDS is due to the peculiar capability of the organized surfactant assemblies to affect the reactivity by selectively sequestering some key reacting species. Indeed, explanations of the experimental results have been given on the basis of the role played by the micellar shape, which in turn dictates the hydrophobic nature. The suggested perturbation effects have been supported by performing viscosity measurements on the aqueous SDS solutions and by the spectrophotometric estimation of the binding constant of the bromine species to the micellar aggregates. This study has indirectly corroborated the existence of two kind of micelles and unambiguously revealed that the bromine species show a different affinity toward the spherical and rod-like micelles.
