Abstract: Classification and synthesis method of trimeric surfactans as well as effect of structure on their performance and applications were summarized.According to the different electrical property of hydrophilic head groups of trimeric surfactants,they can be classified into four classes,as cationic type,anionic type,nonionic type and amphoteric type.Based upon their structure characteristics,designs of various synthesis routes,for preparing trimeric surfactants with different head groups,different space groups and different tail chains were described.Finally,performance of trimeric surfactants and their applications in various domains,such as preparation of nanomaterials,emulsion polymerization and so on were introduced.The future trend of development in this field was predicted as well.

Key words: trimeric surfactants, synthesis method, structure, performance
