Abstract:
Adsorption kinetics of Gemini surfactant C-12-2-E-x-C(12)(.)2Br (x= 1, 2, 3) at the water-air interface was studied by maximum bubble pressure technique. The kinetics effect of adsorption was enhanced when the bulk concentration or the temperature was increased because the surfactant molecules moved faster from the bulk to the surface. Since the molecules with short spacer chains were easy to pre-aggregate as compared with those with long spacers, the concentration of mono molecules of the latter in the bulk was higher than that of the former, which promoted the diffusion of the former molecules to the surface in the short time and decreased the gamma(t), more quickly. However, in the long time as the surface was nearly completely covered, the gamma(m). of surfactant with long spacer was high because this kind of molecules occupied large surface areas resulting in less endmost methyls of them protruding into the air. Compared with the conventional surfactant C(12)TABr which had the same kind of head group and the same length of hydrophobic chain as C-12-2-E-x-C(12)(.)2Br, the latter seemed more favorable to adsorb at the surface than the former.
