Abstract: The synthesis of cationic,anionic,nonionic and zwitterionic Gemini surfactants using ethylene glycol as raw materials has been reviewed.The synthetic routes have been summarized and analyzed,and the properties and applications of the products have been described.The Gemini surfactants with ethylene glycol as raw material have higher surface activity,lower critical micelle concentration,and good wetting and antibacterial properties,which have a wider application range.

Key words: ethylene glycol, Gemini surfactant, cationic, anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic
