Gemini quaternary ammonium salts
Apr 08, 2019Gemini quaternary ammonium salts are composed by two single chain single head surfactants connected by chemical bonds at the ion head groups, which would inhibit the head group separation force in the orderly aggregation process of the surfactants, and greatly improve the surface activity with better flexibility, wettability and biodegradability.
The application fields are as following:
Disinfectants, thickener, corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, softener, papermaking assistant, etc. This series are the upgrading materials of 1231, 1631, 1831, Dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride...
Therefore, Gemini surfactants are becoming the direction of many research groups in world Colloid and Interface Science fields.
