Formulation of Topical Protectants/Decontaminants

Abstract

A technique employing Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometry and the circle cell attachment was found to be useful for quantitating the amount of water solubilized in heptane by reverse micelles of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate. Use of FTIR spectrophotometry and the diffuse reflectance attachment to evaluate surface complexation reactions resulting from compression processes was less successful. Work was initiated on the catalysis of diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) decomposition by o-iodosobenzoic acid. This catalysis is insignificant in aqueous media unless a cationic surfactant is included at a concentration in excess of its critical micelle concentration. Keywords Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry; O-iodosobenzoic acid; Protective barriers; Skin decontamination.
