Abstract

The micelle formation of N-alkyl-N-methylmorpholinium bromide (C_nMMB, n = 12, 14, 16) surfactants in aqueous solution has been investigated. Their critical micelle concentration (CMC), effectiveness and efficiency of the surface tension reduction, and the maximum surface excess concentration were derived from the surface tension curves. Thermodynamic parameters were then evaluated in the temperature range of 25 °C ∼ 45 °C. The results showed that with increasing the alkyl chain length, the CMC values were decreased gradually, which is consistent with the enhancement of hydrophobic effect. Due to the existence of an oxygen atom in the headgroup, an unusual surface activity of C_nMMB surfactants was obtained. The obtained results should help to better understand the effect of the hydrophilic headgroup on the micelle behavior of cationic surfactants containing saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycles.

Kurzfassung

Die Mizellenbildung von N-Alkyl-N-methylmorpholiniumbromidtensiden (C_nMMB, n = 12, 14, 16) in wässriger Lösung wurde untersucht. Ihre kritische Mizellenbildungskonzentration (CMC), ihre Effektivität und ihre Effizienz bei der Reduktion der Oberflächenspannung und die maximale Oberflächenüberschusskonzentration wurden aus den Oberflächenspannungskurven bestimmt. Anschließend wurden die thermodynamischen Parameter für den Temperaturbereich von 25 °C bis 45 °C ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass mit zunehmender Alkylkettenlänge die CMC fortschreitend abnahmen, was mit der Verstärkung des hydrophoben Effekts konsistent ist. Aufgrund des Sauerstoffatoms in der Kopfgruppe zeigten die C_nMMB-Tenside eine ungewöhnliche Oberflächenaktivität. Die erzielten Ergebnisse sollten helfen, den Einfluss der hydrophilen Kopfgruppe auf das mizellare Verhalten der kationischen Tenside, die Heterozyklen mit gesättigtem Stickstoff enthalten, besser zu verstehen.
