The 20 standard amino acids (together with a few more that are not used in the biosynthesis
of proteins) constitute a versatile tool box for synthesis of surfactants. Anionic, cationic and …

Betaines are a key class of zwitterionic surfactant that exhibit particularly favorable
properties, making them indispensable in modern formulation. Due to their composition …

Two biodegradable, non toxic cationic gemini surfactants having ester linkage in the spacer
namely, C m H 2m+ 1 (CH 3) 2 N+(CH 2 COOCH 2) 2 N+(CH 3) 2 C m H 2m+ 1. 2Cl-(m-E2 …

Three ester-containing cationic gemini surfactants, two with decanoyl chains and either a
three-carbon or a six-carbon spacer unit and one with dodecanoyl chains and a three …

Volatile organic compounds serve in nature as semiochemicals for communication between
species, and are often used as flavors and fragrances in our everyday life. The quite limited …

Two cationic gemini surfactants having ester bonds between the hydrophobic tail and the
cationic moiety have been synthesized. The ester bonds were either with the ester carbonyl …

The review covers the development within the field of cleavable surfactants since 2003.
Cleavable surfactants are amphiphiles in which a weak linkage has been deliberately …

The paper describes synthesis and characterization of a new type of cationic gemini
surfactant, which has dodecyl tails and a spacer that contains an ester bond. The …

Surfactants with an ester bond connecting the polar headgroup and the hydrophobic tail are
common. They are easy to synthesize, they can often be made from natural raw materials …

Gemini surfactants, due to their unique structural features and enhanced properties
compared to conventional surfactants, are becoming more popular in the domain of colloid …
