SIX series of cationic polyurethane surfactants were synthesized by the reaction between different six esters (which prepared by condensation of fatty alcohols namely: octanol, decanol, dodecanol, tetradecanol, hexadecanol and octadecanol with bromoacetic acid) and polyurethane as quaternizing agent. The chemical structures of these surfactants were confirmed using elemental analysis, FTIR spectra, + HNMR and UV analysis. The surface activities of the synthesized cationic thiol polyurethane surfactants showed their tendency towards adsorption at the air/water interface. The adsorption tendency was estimated from the values of surface tension and the depression of surface tension at the critical micelle concentration. The studied surfactants were evaluated as antimicrobial agents against pathogenic and sulfur reducing bacteria using inhibition zone diameters and minimum inhibition concentration values. The synthesized cationic thiol polyurethane surfactants showed good antimicrobial activities against the tested microorganisms including Gram positive, Gram negative as well as fungi. The synthesized compounds were tested for the activity as corrosion inhibitors against carbon steel corrosion in 2N H 2 SO 4 at 50, 100, 200, 400 and 600 ppm. The inhibition efficiencies of the tested compounds showed good inhibition and protection of the carbon steel. The corrosion inhibition tendency correlated to the surface activity and chemical structure of the compounds.Keywords: Cationic surfactants, Surface activity, Adsorption , Antimicrobial activity, Corrosion inhibition, Polyurethane. IntoductionCorrosion inhibitors are added to prevent metal dissolution during its surface cleaning from oxides and other adherent materials [1]. Also, corrosion inhibitors may be liquids or powder form that effectively reduces the corrosion rate by adsorbing on the metal surface [2,3]. Corrosion inhibition efficiency of organic compounds is related to their adsorption properties [4]. Corrosion protection of steel in acidic media is of great importance for both industrial facilities and theoretical aspects [5]. The adsorption of these molecules depends mainly on certain physicochemical properties of the inhibitor molecule such as the presence of heteroatoms including: oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen atoms and multiple bonds in the molecule through which they are adsorbed on the metal surface [6][7][8][9][10].Heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are capable of forming coordinate covalent bond with metal owing to their free electron pairs and thus acting as inhibitor. Compounds with π bonds generally exhibit good inhibitive properties due to the interaction of π orbital with metal surface [11][12][13]. The selection of a suitable inhibitor for a particular system is a difficult task because of the selectivity of the inhibitors and wide variety of corrosive environment. As a result, several types of corrosion inhibitors were developed to fit the different types of corrosion processes and also the medium where the corrosion takes place. Cor...

“…Then the mixture was cooled and allowed to quaternization with excess amount of triethyl amine and pyridine individually. The obtained products were designated as PET400Br, PET600Br and PET1000Br [Negm and Aiad, 2007], Scheme 2.…”
