Abstract

Four cationic Gemini surfactants with different length of the hydrophobic chain (abbreviated as C12-CGB, C14-CGB, C16-CGB and C18-CGB) have been synthesized. The structures were confirmed by MS and 1H NMR. Their basic surface chemical properties and antistatic properties were investigated. The result indicated that upon increasing the number of carbon, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the equilibrium surface tension (γCMC) decreased initially and then increased. The products' Krafft points were all below 0°C except that of C18-CGB, it was 16.5°C. Emulsifying properties were determined by the water separation time method. The data show that the emulsifying capability increased gradually with the increase of concentration and then stabilized. In addition, the static voltage and static half period values of the calicoes treated with the four products were measured. These products exhibited excellent antistatic properties.

Kurzfassung

Es wurden vier kationische Gemini-Tenside mit unterschiedlicher Länge der hydrophoben Kette (abgekürzt als C12-CGB, C14-CGB, C16-CGB und C18-CGB) synthetisiert. Die Strukturen wurden durch MS und 1H-NMR bestätigt. Ihre grundlegenden oberflächenchemischen Eigenschaften und antistatischen Eigenschaften wurden untersucht. Das Ergebnis zeigte, dass bei Erhöhung der Kohlenstoffanzahl die kritische Mizellenbildungskonzentration (CMC) und die Oberflächenspannung bei der CMC (γCMC) anfänglich abnahmen und dann zunahmen. Die Krafft-Punkte der Produkte lagen alle unter 0°C, mit Ausnahme des von C18-CGB mit 16,5°C. Die Emulgiereigenschaften wurden nach der Methode der Wassertrennungszeit bestimmt. Die Daten zeigen, dass die Emulgierfähigkeit mit zunehmender Konzentration allmählich anstieg und sich dann stabilisierte. Außerdem wurden die statischen Spannungswerte und die statischen Halbperiodenwerte der mit den vier Produkten behandelten Kattunstoffe gemessen. Diese Produkte zeigten hervorragende antistatische Eigenschaften.
