Synthesis and Properties of Dissymmetric Gemini Surfactants

چکیده
A series of novel dissymmetric gemini cationics surfactants was synthesized by three-step reactions. The dissymmetric gemini surfactants contain a dodecanoic acid dimethylethylamine ester as the constant cationic part on one side of the hydroxypropyl center and a similar other cationic part, but with a different acid length (from octanoic to palmitic), on the other side. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the effectiveness of surface tension reduction (γ(CMC)) were determined. The surface tension measurements of dissymmetric gemini surfactants showed good water solubility, and low CMC had great efficiency in lowering the surface tension and a strong adsorption at the air/water interface. The CMC was observed to increase initially with the increase of the ester bond alkyl group. They also showed good foaming properties and wetting capabilites.

Generation of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon hybrid gemini surfactants controlled by micellar miscibility.
Hybrid surfactants were generated through the simple mixing of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon gemini surfactants in aqueous solutions at 25°C. Disulfide exchange between the disulfide in the spacer chain occurred in the mixed micelles. However, the generation of hybrid gemini surfactants was particularly inhibited by the addition of salt. The suppression of the electrostatic repulsion between the...
متن کاملGemini surfactants: A distinct class of self-assembling molecules
Gemini surfactant is the family of surfactant molecules possessing more than one hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head group. These surfactants usually have better surface-active properties than corresponding conventional surfactants of equal chain length. Geminis are used as promising surfactants in industrial detergency and have shown efficiency in skin care, antibacterial property, metal-enc...
