Aj. Olenick et Jk. Parkinson, EFFECTS OF BRANCHING UPON SOME SURFACTANT PROPERTIES OF SULFATED ALCOHOLS, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 73(7), 1996, pp. 935-937
A study was undertaken to determine the surfactant properties of vario
us sulfated alcohols. Most notably, the Krafft point and the ability t
o emulsify decane were studied. A series of sulfated Guerbet alcohol a
nd Guerbet alcohol alkoxylate sulfates with 16 carbon atoms and an ana
logous series based upon cetyl alcohol, a linear C-16, were studied as
hydrophobes.
