Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) includes long-chained fluorosurfactants, for instance, perfluorooctanonate (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS). In order to find out alternative fluorosurfactants, we synthesized eight amine oxides with a fluoroether chain. Their surface properties were evaluated and compared with perfluoroalkyl and hydrocarbon analogues. The surface tensions at critical micelle concentration (γcmc) for the eight amine oxides with a fluoroether chain were at a range from 15.5 to 23.0 mN/m, and γcmc of four fluoroether amine oxides were below 17 mN/m comparable to perfluorooctyl analogues (16.4 mN/m) and much lower than perfluorohexyl (20.5 mN/m) and hydrocarbon analogues (24.2 and 24.7 mN/m). The critical micelle concentration (cmc) for the eight amine oxides with a fluoroether chain were 3 to 535 × 10?4 mol/L. The cmc of four fluoroether amine oxides were 3 to 21 × 10?4 mol/L (0.2 to 1.0 g/L) comparable to perfluorooctyl (0.4 g/L) and hydrocarbon analogues (4 and 10 × 10?4 mol/L) and much lower than perfluorohexyl analogue (36.9 g/L). The surface excesses, the limiting molecule areas and the free energies of micellization of amine oxides were calculated. Fluoroether surfactants are promising alternatives for PFOA and PFOS.
