Abstract

A series of cationic surfactants, dialkyldimethylammonium bromides with dodecyl as the primary alkyl chain and with methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl, and decyl as the second alkyl chain, as well as those with symmetric alkyl chains, dioctyl, didecyl and didodecyl ones, were synthesized, and their properties were investigated through measurements of the conductivity and air–liquid surface tension for their aqueous solutions to determine their ...
