An amine-oxide surfactant-based microemulsion for the cleaning of works of art

Abstract: Surfactant-based aqueous fluids, such as micellar solutions and microemulsions, are effective, safe and selective media for cleaning operations in conservation of cultural heritage. The search for better-performing systems and eco-friendly cleaning systems is currently a major goal in conservation science. We report here on a ternary o/w microemulsion, composed of diethyl carbonate (DC) as the oil phase and N,N-Dimethyldodecan-1-amine oxide (DDAO) as the surfactant. DDAO is a well known and widely used deterge… Show more

“…Amine oxides, which are nonionic at neutral or alkaline pH, turn cationic due to the protonation of the N-O bond at low pH. So, some researchers also consider them as zwitterionic surfactants [10], zwitterionic/cationic surfactants [11] or nonionic/cationic surfactants. Amine oxides possess outstanding performance abilities, such as good biodegradation [12], a low cloud point, strong hard water resistance, high solubilization capacity, good lather generation and stability, low skin irritation, and good compatibility with other surfactants.…”

“…Recently, a diethyl carbonate (DEC)-in-water fluid was formulated for cleaning murals, using N,NDimethyldodecan-1-amine oxide, DDAO as surfactant. [27] Amineoxides are benign and biodegradable, and alkyl carbonates are generally non-toxic and low-impact solvents, which opens to future applications. Possible improvements also concern water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions, which might prove beneficial on highly watersensitive substrates, e.g.…”

“…In recent years, amine‐oxide surfactants have found increasing uses in different fields, thanks to their low toxicity and ready biodegradability under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions (Garcia et al, ; McDonough et al, ; Rios et al, , ). Their applications depend on the length of the alkyl chain and on the substituents on the nitrogen atom of the head (Baglioni et al, ; Lim and Han, ; Singh et al, ). As a general feature, amine‐oxide surfactants are excellent foam boosters and foam stabilizers in blends including other anionic or amphoteric surfactants and are used extensively in highly concentrated hand wash liquids, detergents, and antistatic preparations.…”
