Synthesis and Physicochemical Properties of CO2-switchable Gemini Surfactants

Self-assembly and antimicrobial activity of cationic gemini surfactants containing triazole moieties

“…9,10 Compared to conventional single-tail surfactants, they are more effective and can oen attain much lower surface tension, critical micellar concentration and Kra point values. [11][12][13] Additionally, they have favorable interfacial and viscoelastic properties, as well as a rock wetting ability, making them the subject of numerous studies in the eld of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to replace conventional uids. 14,15 In the biomedical and biotechnological elds, numerous studies highlighted the potential of gemini surfactants as templates for the preparation of nanoparticles and selfassembled systems for the encapsulation and controlled delivery of drugs and other active ingredients.…”
