Abstract

Three oxy-diester-linked cationic gemini surfactants (2,2′-[(oxybis(ethane-1,2-diyl))bis(oxy)]bis(N-alkyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-oxoethanaminium) dichloride, Cm-DEG-Cm (m = 12, 14, 16), were synthesized. The physicochemical properties of the gemini surfactants and their mixtures with Brij 58 were studied by surface tension measurements at various mole fractions and 30°C. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the gemini surfactants are smaller than that of their corresponding single-chain counterparts having the same number of carbon atoms in the hydrophobic tail versus polar head. At all investigated compositions, the experimentally obtained CMC values of the surfactant mixtures are smaller than the CMCideal (ideal CMC – CMC of the solution at ideal state); the lower CMC of the mixed systems compared to those the individual surfactants and the negative β values (for both the mixed micelles and monolayers) indicate a synergistic interaction among both the surfactant components. The interaction parameters (βm and βσ) of the mixed surfactant systems were evaluated by using theoretical models. Negative values of β imply an overall attractive force in the mixed state. Also, the free excess energy of mixing was found to be negative for all the systems.

Kurzfassung

Es wurden drei kationische, mit Oxy-Diester verknüpfte Gemini-Tenside (2,2′-[(Oxybis-(ethan-1,2-diyl))-bis-(oxy)]-bis-(N-alkyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-oxoethanaminium)dichlorid, Cm-DEG-Cm (m = 12, 14, 16) synthetisiert. Die physikalisch-chemischen Eigenschaften der Gemini-Tenside und ihrer Mischungen mit Brij 58 wurden mittels Oberflächenspannungsmessungen bei verschiedenen Molenbrüchen und bei 30°C untersucht. Die kritische Mizellenbildungskonzentration (CMC) der Gemini-Tenside ist geringer als die der Tenside, die eine gleiche Anzahl an Kohlenstoffatomen im hydrophoben Teil gegenüber dem polaren Kopf besitzen. Die experimentell erhaltenen CMC-Werte der Tensidmischungen sind für alle untersuchten Zusammensetzungen kleiner als die ideale CMC (CMCideal = CMC der Lösung im idealen Zustand); die im Vergleich zu den einzelnen Tensiden niedrigeren CMC der gemischten Systeme und die negativen β-Werte (sowohl für die gemischten Mizellen als auch für die Monoschichten) deuten auf synergistische Wechselwirkungen zwischen den beiden Tensidkomponenten hin. Die Wechselwirkungsparameter βm und βσ der Mischtensidsysteme wurden unter Verwendung theoretischer Modelle bewertet. Die negativen Werte von β implizieren insgesamt eine Anziehungskraft im gemischten Zustand. Außerdem wurde gefunden, dass die freie Überschussenergie des Mischens für alle Systeme negativ ist.

Key words: Gemini surfactant; critical micelle concentration; mixed micelles; synergistic interaction
