Tetramethylene-1,4-bis(N,N-dodecylammonium bromide), cationic gemini surfactant, (12-4-12) was first synthesized with an one-step and shortened procedure and its interfacial and antimicrobial properties were compared with a conventional single-chain cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The interfacial and thermodynamic properties of both surfactants reveal that critical micelle concentration (CMC) of this novel synthetic cationic dimeric surfactant is lower than that of cationic monomeric surfactant at almost 15 times of its magnitude, which is due to the increase in hydrophobicity of the surfactant molecules by having dual hydrocarbon chains. In comparison with CTAB, the produced compound 12-4-12 yields much better interfacial and thermodynamic properties. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized gemini surfactant were tested against eight strains of bacteria, as well as two strains of fungi. The results showed that both 12-4-12 compound and CTAB exhibited higher inhibitory effects on the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and fungi than that of Gram-negative bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentrations in molar of 12-4-12 against all tested Gram-negative bacteria were lower than those of CTAB, which is hypothetically due to the lower HLB together with smaller CMC values of our gemini surfactant.

Cationic gemini-surfactant, namely 1,4-butane-bis(N-alkanoyloxyethyl-N,Ndimethyl)-diammonium bromide was synthesized and their inhibition effect on corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was tested by weight loss method. The synthesized product was confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy. Surface tensions were measured by surface tensiometer Sigma 70. Their c.m.c. values evaluated by surface tension method was $4.1{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}5.4{\times}10^{-5}$ mol/L. The Krafft point of the these surfactants were <0~$10.7^{\circ}C$. The emulsifying properties of synthesized cationic gemini surfactants and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) was investigated. Of these, 1,4-butane-bis(N-lauroyloxyethyl-N,N-dimethyl)- diammonium bromide, CGL 14-4-14 has been confirmed as a good emulsifier. The inhibition efficiency increases by increasing cationic gemini surfactant concentration. As a result, these surfactants are expected to be applied as corrosion inhibitors.

본 연구에서는 소수성 사슬의 길이를 증가시키고 1,4-부탄디올을 스페이서로 사용하여 양이온성 제미니형 계면활성제를 합성하였으며 $^1H-NMR$로 확인하였다. 합성한 계면활성제의 외형은 백색 분말로 나타났으며, Kraffts 점은 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하로 나타났다. 측정된 임계미셀농도(c.m.c)는 표면장력법에 의해 $1.8{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}6.5{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$이었고 표면 장력은 22.5~26.1 dyne/cm이었다. Ross-Miles 방법에 의한 CG 14-6E-14의 초기 거품 높이는 16 cm이었고 5 min 후 높이 14 cm를 나타내어, 가장 좋은 초기 기포력과 기포안정성을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 합성한 양이온 제미니 계면활성제와 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)의 기포력 및 유화안정성을 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 이소소르비드를 이용하여 양이온 제미니 계면활성제의 알킬기가 C₁₀~C₁₆개로 변화시키면서 합성하였다. 합성한 양이온 제미니 계면활성제에 대한 c.m.c는 5.13 × 10^-4~1.62 × 10^-4 mol/L의 범위에서 표면장력은 31.86~39.24 dyne/cm로 측정되었으며, 알킬기의 길이가 길어질수록 표면장력이 상승하였다. 또한, 흡착량는 감소하여 계면에 흡착된 계면활성제의 분자 당 차지하는 면적이 커지게 되면서 공기-물 계면에 기포력이 감소하였다. 벤젠에서의 유화력은 8 h이 지난 후 60 ± 5% 이상의 유화력이 유지되었으며, 대두유에서의 유화력이 50 ± 5% 이상 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 소수성이 강한 벤젠에서 우수하며, 유상과 수상의 프리에멀젼 제조 시, 유화 안정성이 일정한 시간 이상 유지되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 항균력은 Escherichia coli (E.coli)과 Staphylococcus aureus에서의 clean zone의 크기가 증가하여 합성한 양이온 제미니 계면활성제의 소수성 사슬의 길이에 의존하였다.

Amongst a number of potential nonviral vectors, cationic liposomes have been actively researched, with both gemini surfactants and bola amphiphiles reported as being in possession of good structures in terms of cell viability and in vitro transfection. In this study, a cholesterol-based diquaternary ammonium gemini surfactant (Chol-GS) was synthesized and assessed as a novel nonviral gene vector. Chol-GS was synthesized from cholesterol by way of four reaction steps. The optimal efficiency was found to be at a weight ratio of 1:4 of lipid:DOPE (1,2-dioleoyl-L-${\alpha}$- glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine), and at a ratio of between 10:1~15:1 of liposome:DNA. The transfection efficiency was compared with commercial liposomes and with Lipofectamine, 1,2-dimyristyloxypropyl-3-dimethylhydroxyethylammonium bromide (DMRIE-C), and N-[1-(2,3-dioleoyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP). The results indicate that the efficiency of Chol-GS is greater than that of all the tested commercial liposomes in COS7 and Huh7 cells, and higher than DOTAP and Lipofectamine in A549 cells. Confirmation of these findings was observed through the use of green fluorescent protein expression. Chol-GS exhibited a moderate level of cytotoxicity, at optimum concentrations for efficient transfection, indicating cell viability. Hence, the newly synthesized Chol-GS liposome has the potential of being an excellent nonviral vector for gene delivery.

Molecular aggregates of surfactant molecules consisting of one or more bilayers arranged in a hollow, closed, usually spherical geometry are termed “esicles”or “iposomes” In recent years it has been found that in certain systems the vesicular structure forms spontaneously and is long lived, and it has been suggested that these structures may in fact constitute the equilibrium state in these cases (as is true of micelles) This paper deals with the mixed CMC, vesicles, phase behavior, phase transition, geometrical structure, their formation and characterization in the aqueous solutions of mixed cationic/anionic surfactants systems. TEM micrographs revealed that the vesicles were of spherical shape and that their size was of around 180 nm. The zeta potentials are positive at CGS1-rich regions and negative at SLES-rich regions. In the region where SLES/CGS1 (6/4), the zeta potentials are very small, implying that the vesicles at this surfactant ratio may be less stable. At other surfactant ratios, the vesicles are thought to be stable, supported by large absolute values of zeta potentials and little change in UV absorbance for several months.

본 실험은 다양한 계면활성제를 이용해 수성 아크릴 에멀젼 접착제를 제조하고 그 특성을 조사하였다. 제조한 접착제의 특성으로 고형분, 전환율, 입도분포, 초기접착력 등의 물성을 통해 비교하였다. 접착제의 고형분을 측정한 결과는 60% 이상의 높은 값을 나타냈으며 에멀젼 중합의 전환율은 합성한 계면활성제를 2 wt% 농도로 첨가하였을 때 97%로 측정되었다. 입도분포의 분석 결과는 양이온 계면활성제를 첨가한 경우에 290~470 nm의 작은 입자의 접착제가 제조되었고 초기접착력과 접착 발현시간 또한 증가되었다. 최대 접착력은 단일의 계면활성제(POE 23)를 사용했을 때 2.55 kgf의 값을 나타냈고 다른 계면활성제를 사용한 경우보다 뛰어나다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 양이온 제미니 계면활성제를 첨가하여 제조한 접착제의 부식방지력은 48 h 동안 유지되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
