Properties and Applications of Quaternary Ammonium Gemini Surfactant 12-6-12: An Overview
Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules and one of the most versatile products of the chemical industry. They can be absorbed at the air–water interface and can align themselves so that the hydrophobic part is in the air while the hydrophilic part is in water. This alignment lowers the surface or inte...

| description | Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules and one of the most versatile products of the chemical industry. They can be absorbed at the air–water interface and can align themselves so that the hydrophobic part is in the air while the hydrophilic part is in water. This alignment lowers the surface or interfacial tension. Gemini surfactants are a modern variety of surfactants with unique properties and a very wide range of potential applications. Hexamethylene-1,6-bis(<i>N</i>-dodecyl-<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylammonium bromide) is one such representative compound that is a better alternative to a single analogue. It shows excellent surface, antimicrobial, and anticorrosion properties. With a highly efficient synthetic method and a good ecological profile, it is a potential candidate for numerous applications, including biomedical applications. |
