Molecular simulation of the structural and thermodynamic properties of n-alkane/brine interfacial systems with nonionic surfactants

The effect of aromatic side chains on the dilational rheological properties of N-acyltaurate amphiphiles at water–decane interfaces

“…In recent years, researchers have investigated the effects of the interfacial properties for different types of surfactants such as nonionic, anionic, cationic, and zwitterionic surfactants by using interfacial dilational rheology. [12][13][14][15] Aromatic side chained amphiphiles are surfactants that possess large, functionalized branches and exhibit good surface activity, solubility, and aggregation behavior. Gu et al 16 synthesized carboxylates and sulfonates with different aromatic side chains, and they noticed that the position of the aromatic side chain on the amphiphiles was critical in determining the stability and type of lyotropic liquid crystal phase.…”
