The Effect of Hydrophile and Hydrophobe Part on Surface Activity of Ester Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

Abstract

This study deals with the synthesis of six cationic surfactants forming two groups. Using alkyl diols, bromoacetic acid, triethyl amine and triethanol amine, these surfactants were synthesized. From the analysis, it was found that the surfactants prepared are ester quaternaries. Du nouy tensiometer has been used for obtaining the surface activity of surfactants. In terms of their hydrophilic and hydrophobic part, different surface parameters were discussed. All showed the biological features such as antimicrobial activity.
