Eam. Gad et al., Surface and thermodynamic parameters of mixed N-dodecyl N-trimethylsilane ammonium chloride with isooctyl phenol ethoxylate, J SURFACT D, 2(1), 1999, pp. 39-43
Isooctyl phenol ethoxylate was mixed with N-dodecyl-N-trimethylsilane ammon
ium chloride and N-hexadecyl-N-trimethylsilane ammonium chloride, respectiv
ely. The surface tensions of aqueous solutions of cationic-nonionic mixture
s were measured as a function of nonionic concentration at 35 degrees C wit
h constant cationic concentration. By using the Hutchinson method, the surf
ace excess concentrations, surface mole fractions, and interaction paramete
rs of binary surfactant mixtures were calculated. A synergistic effect for
reducing surface tension was observed for adsorption at the surface at low
concentrations of N-dodecyl-N-trimethylsilane ammonium chloride.
