Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension between two liquids, between a gas and a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants can be used as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents and dispersants. Visit http://www.alfa-chemistry.com/products/surfactant-124.htm for more information.

2 Overview Hydrophobic groups Hydrophilic groups Amphiphilic A surfactant contains both a component and a water-soluble component Activity Surfactants will diffuse in water and adsorb at interfaces between air and water or at the interface between oil and water, in the case where water is mixed with oil. The water- insoluble hydrophobic group may extend out of the bulk water phase, into the air or into the oil phase, while the water-soluble head group remains in the water phase.。
2 Overview Hydrophobic tails The hydrophobic tails of the surfactant ions remain inside the oil because they interact more strongly with oil than with water. Hydrophilic Head The hydrophilic heads of the surfactant molecules coating the micelle interact more strongly with water, so they form a hydrophilic outer layer that forms a barrier between micelles.

1 Nonionic Surfactant Water-solubility The water-solubility of the oxygen groups is the result of hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding Hydrogen bonding decreases with increasing temperature, and the water solubility of nonionic surfactants therefore decreases with increasing temperature.
2 Anionic Surfactant Sulfate Phosphate Sulfonate Carboxylate Ammonium lauryl sulfate Sodium lauryl sulfate Sodium laureth sulfate Sodium myreth sulfate
3 Cationic Surfactant 02 01 03 Amine salt type Quaternary ammonium salt type Heterocyclic type
4 Amphoteric Surfactant Cationic part Anionic part Be more variable Primary, secondary, or tertiary amines or quaternary ammonium cations Ø Phospholipids phosphatidylserine Ø Phosphatidylethanolamine Ø Sphingomyelins
