PREPARATION AND AMPHIPHILIC PROPERTIES OF CATIONIC AND AMPHOTERIC POLYMERIZABLE SURFACTANTS DERIVED FROM 5-F-ALKYL 4-OXA 1-DIMETHYLAMINO HEX-5-EN-2-OLS

In this work, we synthesized new reaction intermediates 5-F-alkyl 4-ox a 1-dimethylamino hex-5-en-2-ols which allowed us to obtain, simply an d in satisfying yields a broad range of single-chain and double-chain surfactants with two F-alkylated chains or mixed chains, possessing a polymerizable methylene lateral group and at least one hydroxyl functi on. Their amphiphilic properties were investigated by measuring their surface tension in aqueous solution. The critical micellar concentrati on (CMC) of some of them could be determined from surface tension curv es versus concentration.
