Abstract

Nonionic gemini surfactants HBA(EO)80 were synthesized and characterized by means of surface tension measurements. CMCs of two mixed system, nonionic gemini mixed with anionic gemini (HBA(EO)80/C11pPHCNa) and nonionic gemini mixed with anionic monomeric (HBA(EO)80/SL) and the effect of salt on the two mixed system were investigated. Freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate the mixed aggregates' morphologies. The results show that large spherical aggregates were formed in the mixed solution, which trend to transfer into micelles with the increases of the salt concentration.
