Abstract

In the present work some exthoxylated polyalkylphenol surfactants have different alkyl chains (nonyl and dodecyl) were synthesized. The static surface tension for these surfactants in water and jet fuel A1 was measured and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) for each surfactant was determined. The data show the general trend of decreasing the CMC against the molecular weight of the synthesized polymeric surfactants. The HLB of these surfactants was also calculated. The dynamic surface tension for the synthesized surfactants was measured at CMC. The dynamic interfacial tension for these surfactants with jet fuel A1 at CMC was also measured using the spinning drop technique. The results showed that the effect of the synthesized surfactants on deceasing the time of droplet maturation was significant remarked. The decrease of this time leads to enhance of jet fuel atomization.
