Synthesis and interfacial properties of sugar‐based surfactants composed of homo‐and heterodimers

Abstract

Dimeric sugar-based amphiphiles were synthesized starting from D-glucose and a commercial mixture of dodecyl and tetradecyl alcohols by a simple procedure. Three different spacers (glutaryl, succinyl, and terephthaloyl) were used to link the sugar moieties through O-2 or O-6. Dimeric compounds are composed by mixtures of homodimers (C-12/C-12) and heterodimers (C-12/C-14). The interfacial properties of these nonionic gemini surfactants are described.Paper no.

Adsorption and micellization behavior of novel gluconamide-type gemini surfactants

“…With the expectation for the biodegradability, non-toxicity and biocompatibility, the absence of the cloud point enables us to use the sugar-based surfactants in a wide variety of applications such as detergents, dish-washing agents and personal care products [9,10]. During the last decade gemini surfactants containing sugar moieties in their headgroups have been synthesized and the aqueous solution properties have been studied: one typical series of this type of gemini surfactants is made from monosaccharides (or their derivatives) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and the other is made from disaccharides (or their derivatives) [13,14,21]. In addition, sugar-based gemini surfactants with a disaccharide spacer have been synthesized by Menger and Mbadugha [22].…”

Synthesis and Properties of Biodegradable and Chemically Recyclable Cationic Surfactants Containing Carbonate Linkages

“…Therefore, the development of surfactants with an improved biodegradability and recyclability using renewable resources by an environmentally benign process is now needed with respect to the establishment of a green and sustainable chemistry. Biodegradable and cleavable surfactants, such as amino acid-based, sugar-based and ester containing surfactants, have so far been synthesized [4][5][6][7][8] .…”

Synthesis and Properties of pH‐Dependent Gemini Surfactants Containing Multiple Carboxyl Groups

“…In order to increase the performance of surfactant formulations and provide new properties to interface or in solution, a new class of surfactants has unremittingly appeared (Castro et al, 2006;Gao and Sharma, 2013;Kang et al, 2018;Sakai et al, 2014;Tan and Xiao, 2008). One of these classes is the Gemini surfactants, which have two hydrophilic headgroups and two hydrophobic groups per molecule.…”
