The lipid/surfactant mixed interactions between the lipids dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or egg phosphatidylcholine (EggPC) and the non-ionic surfactant C12E7 [C12H25(OCH2CH2)7OH] were studied by the use of the fluorescence properties of pyrene, namely the excimer to monomer emission intensity ratio, IE/IM. Previously, the behaviour of the C12E7/water system was also monitored. It was...

Fluorescent probes incorporated in ternary surfactant systems have proved valuable in elucidating structure, dynamics and phase behaviour. The intriguing case of microemulsions using non-ionic surfactants, such as alkyloligoethylene oxides, can form phases simultaneously bicontinuous in oil and water. Fluorescence analysis provides both sensitivity and selectivity to monitor these systems. We have...

Early detection of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers is one of most important concerns in medical field. Its detection at the earliest stage is crucial to increase the patient survival chances. Optical signals extraction and analysis, specifically diffuse reflectance and intrinsic fluorescence, may improve the ability to detect GI dysplasia, once some morphological and biochemical changes on the tissues...
This paper describes the design of a miniature, cost-effective spectroscopy system for assessing tissue biochemical and morphological information using a few wavelengths. This instrument will integrate thin-film optical filters and silicon photodiodes, avoiding the use of a spectrograph and optical fibers. The components in the set-up design are described. The feasibility of using only 16 wavelengths...
The phase transition of microemulsions involving the nonionic surfactant C12E5 [C12H25(OCH2-CH2)5OH], water, and alkanes (heptane, decane and tetradecane) has been investigated through the excimer formation of pyrene. On going to the microemulsion bicontinuous phase, by changing either composition or temperature, pronounced changes in the pyrene excimer-to-monomer fluorescence intensity ratio, IE...
