Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Homogeneous polyoxypropylene (PO)-polyoxyethylene (EO) alkyl ether type nonionic surfactants comprising alkyl, EO, and PO chains with identical chain length distributions (CnEOxPOy; alkyl chain length n = 10, 12, 14, or 16; EO chain length x = 4, 6, or 8; and PO chain length y = 1, 2, or 3) were synthesized from homogeneous polyoxyethylene alkyl ether bromide and monosodium polyoxypropylene by Williamson ether synthesis. The adsorption and aggregation properties of these surfactants were characterized (cloud point, surface tension, dynamic light scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, polarization microscopy, and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy) and compared to those of conventional homogeneous EO alkyl ether type nonionic surfactants (CnEOx).
