“…In the FTIR spectrum (Fig. ) of the zwitterionic surfactant before aging, the two stretching vibrations at 2920 and 2849 cm −1 were seen corresponding to the methyl (–CH 3 ) and methylene (–CH 2 –) groups in the hydrophobic tail (Dardir, Mohamed, Farag, Ramdan, & Fayad, ; El‐Lateef, Abo‐Riya, & Tantawy, ; Shaban, Aiad, Fetouh, & Maher, ). The stretching vibration of the carbonyl group was observed at 1641 cm −1 and C–N stretching vibration was detected at 1070 cm −1 (Zaky, Badawi, El Sabbah, Ghani, & Hendawy, ).…”
