Preparations and Properties of the Antimicrobial Surfactants

Abstract

[2-(p-Alkylphenylsulfonylamino) ethyl]trimethylammonium chlorides (alkyl: C₄H₉, C₈H₁₇, C₁₀H₂₁, C₁₂H₂₅, C₁₄H₂₀, C₁₆H₃₃) were prepared and identified by elementaly and instrumental analysis. Studies on the surface activities and antimicrobial properties of the samples were carried out according to the ordinary methods. It was proved that the samples, R 10 and R 12, were excellent as dispersing, emulsifying, solubilizing, wetting and antimicrobial agents.
