A series of betaine-type Gemini surfactants (Cs-BGS where C is the methylene of the spacer,s=2,4,6) were synthesized from sodium 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropanesulfonate,oleamidopropyl dimethylamine and bromoalkane.The chemical structures of the prepared compounds were characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR.Their critical micelle concentration (cmc)in the aqueous solution at 25 ℃ was determined by Wilhelmy and electrical conductivity methods.The results show that with the increasing length of the spacer,the values of cmc and equilibrium surface tension (γcmc)are increased.C2-BGS has exhibited the lowest cmc,nice efficiency in reducing surface tension (pc20),strong adsorption at the air-water interface,and relatively good foaming performance.In addition,the adsorption and micellization behaviors of Cs-BGS were estimated by pc20,minimum surface area per molecule (Amin),standard adsorption free energy (ΔG0ads)and standard micellization free energy (ΔG0mic).The results show that these properties of Cs-BGS are significantly influenced by the length of the spacer,and the ability to promote adsorption is stronger than to promote micellization.
