New class of cocogem surfactants based on hexamethylenediamine, propylene oxide, and long chain carboxylic acids: Theory and application

Six cocogem surfactants were synthesized from N,N,Nʹ,Nʹ-tetra-(propane-2-olyl)-1,6-hexanediamine and higher monocarboxylic acids: capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic and oleic. N,N,Nʹ,Nʹ-tetra-(propane-2-olyl)-1,6-hexanediamine was synthesized from hexamethylenediamine and propylene oxide at room temperature, without utilizing any catalyst or solvent. Surface tension, conductivity, foaming ability, foam stability, emulsion stability,...
