Abstract

A series of catanionic surfactants based on the general formula CH3CH2(CH2)11CH2N+(CH3)3 · −OOCCH2(CH2)nCH2CH3 (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) were synthesized, and measured their critical micelle concentrations (CMC) and the corresponding surface tension at CMC (γCMC). The results revealed that the surface tensions of water were decreased to 21–34 mN · m−1 when applying these surfactants at a concentration range from 10−3 to 10−4 mol · L−1. Moreover, the performance of foaming, emulsification, anti-static and rewetting of the surfactants were investigated and the results showed that both the rewetting and emulsifying ability of the prepared surfactants were much better than that of conventional surfactants. In addition, the anti-static and foaming properties were also improved at the same condition compared to that of conventional surfactants.

Kurzfassung

Eine Reihe katanionischer Tenside basierend auf der allgemeinen Formel CH3CH2(CH2)11CH2N+(CH3)3 · −OOCCH2(CH2)nCH2CH3 (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) wurde synthetisiert und ihre kritischen Mizellbildungskonzentrationen (CMC) und ihre entsprechenden Oberflächenspannungen bei der CMC (γCMC) wurden bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die Oberflächenspannung von Wasser auf 21–34 mN m−1 sinkt, wenn die Konzentration der Tenside im Bereich von 10−3 bis 10−4 mol L−1 liegt. Des Weiteren wurde die Leistung der Tenside bei der Schaumbildung, die Emulsionsbildung, der Antistatik, und der Benetzung untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass beides, die Benetzung und die Fähigkeit der Emulsionsbildung der hergestellten Tenside deutlich besser waren als die der konventionellen Tenside. Zusätzlich wurden die antistatischen und die schaumbildenden Eigenschaften bei den gleichen Bedingungen im Vergleich zu den konventionellen Tenside verbessert.
