Effect of Alternation of Chloropropoxy and Propoxy Units and Impact of the Ethylol-Group Number on Properties of Surfactants

Surfactants based on myristic acid, epichlorohydrin, and propylene oxide were obtained in two ways. First, the ester of myristic acid and epichlorohydrin was synthesised, and then with propylene oxide. Second, myristic acid was first reacted with propylene oxide, and then with epichlorohydrin. In both cases, the reactions were carried out at 150-160°C using triethylamine as a catalyst. The obtained chloropropoxy-propoxy and propoxy-chloropropoxy esters of myristic acid are non-ionic surfactants. These products were transformed into cationic surfactants by interaction with several ethanolamines. The specific electroconductance and surface activity of the obtained surfactants, characters that vary with the colloidal-chemical parameters of the surfactants, depended on such factors as the sequence of the epichlorohydrin and propylene oxide units inside the polar group of the obtained ionic surfactants, the presence of the methyl group linked to the N-atom, as well as the number of ethylol groups. It was revealed that the synthesised surfactants possess a property of localising thin (thickness 1 mm) petroleum films spread over different types of water.

Synthesis of novel zwitterionic heterogemini surfactants derived from fatty acid and investigation of their behavior at the air-water interface

A series of novel cationic-non-ionic heterogemini surfactants (Cn-1EC-s-Cm where n and m represents the hydrocarbon chain length of fatty acid and aliphatic amine, n=12, 14, 16, 18, m=12, 14, 16) were synthesized from fatty acid, epichlorohydrin and aldciphatic amine. The chemicals tructures of the surfactants were characterized by IR spectra, NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. Their critical micelle concentrations (CMC) in the aqueous solutions were determined by surface-tension at 25°C.Relationship betweenγcmc and hydrophobic chain length was established which showed a large increase upon increasing of chain length with ester. The surface-tension measurements of Cn-1EC-s-Cm showed a low CMC, which greatly improve the efficiency in lowering the surface tension. Furthermore, adsorption and micellization behavior of Cn-1EC-s-Cm were investigated by measuring minimum average area per surfactant molecule and standard free energy.
