Abstract
Ester-adduct derivatives of rosin were synthesized by reacting rosin with polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG 600) or 2000 (PEG2000) and maleic anhydride (MA) at elevated temperature. These derivatives were evaluated for acid number, FTIR spectroscopy, molecular weight (Mw), and polydispersity. The derivatives were soluble in organic solvents; aqueous solubility was pH dependent. Rosin-imides were synthesized from a rosin ester-maleic anhydride adducts. It was condensed with diaminobutane or triethylene tetramine to obtain rosinimides. This imide was etherified by reaction with PEG in the presence of β,β′-dichlorodiethyl ether as a linking agent and NaOH as a catalyst. The surface properties of the prepared surfactants were determined by measuring the surface tension at different temperatures. The surface tension, critical micelle concentration and surface activities were determined at different temperatures. Surface parameters such as surface excess concentration (Γmax), the area per molecule at interface (Amin), and the effectiveness of surface tension reduction (πCMC) were determined from the adsorption isotherms of the prepared surfactants. Some thermodynamic data for the adsorption process were calculated and are discussed.
