The Effect of an Amide Group on the Surface Properties and Aggregation Behavior of the Gemini Cationic Surfactants

Abstract

Abstract:

Amide groups are usually introduced in the molecular structures of surfactants to improve their biodegradability. In this paper, the Gemini cationic surfactants with/without amide were synthesized and their properties were measured. The effect of the amide group on the surface properties and aggregation behavior of the Gemini cationic surfactants was investigated. When amide groups are introduced in the molecules of the Gemini cationic surfactants, the values of cmc, Г_max and the micelle microviscosity increase and N_agg value decreases. It is concluded that hydrogen bonding between amide bonds contributes to the adsorption process of the surfactants at the surface of the solution.

Key words: Gemini surfactant, surface property, aggregation, amide group, fluorescence
