Sol–gel encapsulation of cresol red in presence of surfactants

Résumé

Cresol Red (CR) pH indicator was encapsulated into silica network using the sol–gel process. Transparent monolithic disks of entrapped CR were obtained in the presence of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) or dodecyl dimethyl amino oxide (Genaminox LA,GLA) alkyl hydroxyethyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (HY, R = 12–14) and TX-100 surfactants. UV/VIS spectra showed that the encapsulated CR retains its structure in terms of its response to pH. At the neutral conditions it is found that the HY surfactant is considered as proton donor as favor the cationic form of the indicator, while CTAB surfactant favor the neutral, however GLA surfactant, the anionic form of CR is more favored because GLA has a zwitterionic head. The surfactant GLA with TEOS has shifted the equilibrium to the ionized form of CR due to the electrostatic interaction between the surfactant and the CR anion. Therefore their pH range is dependent on the nature of a surfactant used. It is found that the HY surfactant is more efficient as far as loading of CR is concern and it widened the working pH range.
