Dimeric and oligomeric surfactants are novel surfactants that are presently attracting
considerable interest in the academic and industrial communities working on surfactants …

Amphoteric surfactants have long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and hydrophilic positive
as well as negative charged center connected with each other by a spacer group. Thus, this …

The first reports on gemini surfactants concerned bisquaternary ammonium halide
surfactants. Their biological activity in aqueous solution was studied [13, 16, 17], and …

Gemini surfactant is the family of surfactant molecules possessing more than one
hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head group. These surfactants usually have better surface …

A gemini surfactant is an amphiphile possessing (in sequence) the following: hydrocarbon
tail/polar group/spacer/polar group/hydrocarbon tail. Widespread interest in geminis has …

This sixth part of the multi-volume Handbook of Detergents focuses on the production of
surfactants, builders and other key components of detergent formulations, including the …

Sulfobetaine-type zwitterionic gemini surfactants of 1, 2-bis [N-methyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-
alkylammonium] ethane (2CnSb, where n represents hydrocarbon chain lengths of 6, 8 and …

Using surfactants for the remediation of aquifers is more challenging due to the interaction
with soils of heterogeneous chemistry and potential toxicity concerns. In this review …

A composition is provided comprising a novel cationic lipid compound having hydrophobic
tails and two quaternary ammonium headgroups bridged by a linker. The composition is …

Easily “tunable” zwitterionic gemini surfactants were prepared with a wide variety of chain
combinations. These geminis self-assemble into micelles, vesicles, and tubules at low …
