Soft nanosystems based on hydroxypiperidinium surfactants as adjuvants and micellar catalysts

Quantitative parameters characterizing aggregation behaviour and wetting effect of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperidinium surfactants have been obtained. Their ability to act as adjuvants in herbicidal compositions based on clopyralid has been revealed. The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of paraoxon and armine, organophosphorus ecotoxicants, in the surfactant solutions has been explored and it has demonstrated more than 100-fold micellar rate enhancement.
