Abstract
A series of new cationic surfactants was prepared by condensation of lactic acid with N,N-dimethyl propylamine, followed successively by acetylation w ith acid chloride or ester and by quaternization with dimethylsulfate. Each surfactant and its precursors' structural assignments were based on infrar ed spectra and H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Critical mi celle concentrations, contact angles, kinetics of drop spreading, and foam capacities were determined.
