Abstract

Gemini surfactants are most exciting new types of surfactants. They have two hydrophilic head groups and two hydrophobic groups in a molecule separated by a spacer group. Nowadays different types of geminis have been synthesized. Geminis show some characteristic features like low cmc, high surface activity, high solubility in water, good foaming and wetting properties, as well as low Krafft temperature. Geminis imply low eye and skin irritation. These surfactants are widely used as antifoaming and antimicrobial agents. This review paper deals with synthesis, properties and applications of various gemini surfactants.

Kurzfassung

Gemini-Tenside sind hochinteressante neue Tensidtypen. Sie besitzen, getrennt durch ein Spacer-Gruppe, zwei hydrophile Kopfgruppen und zwei hydrophobe Gruppen innerhalb eines Moleküls. Heutzutage werden verschiedene Typen an Gemini-Tensiden synthetisiert, die einige charakteristische Eigenschaften wie niedrige cmc, hohe Oberflächenaktivität, hohe Wasserlöslichkeit, gute Schaum- und Benetzungseigenschaften sowie eine niedrige Krafft-Temperatur aufweisen. Gemini-Tenside implizieren geringe Augen- und Hautirritationen und werden häufig als Entschäumer und antimikrobielles Hilfsmittel eingesetzt. Dieser Übersichtsartikel behandelt Synthese, Eigenschaften und Applikationen verschiedener Gemini-Tenside.

Key words:: Gemini; foaming and wetting properties; Krafft temperature; antimicrobial agents

Stichwörter:: Gemini-Tenside; Schaum- und Benetzungseigenschaften; Krafft-Temperatur; antimikrobielles Hilfsmittel
