This paper discusses the effect SDS micelles have on Rhodamine-B diffusion in hydrogels. Diffusion cells where a solvent is sheared in place over a solution of diffusant have been designed and used with viscous solutions and are also used here with some modifications. The concentration of SDS is varied and the diffusion rate of Rhodamine-B is monitored in the cells.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
