✦ Synopsis

In this work, as a continuation of our studies concerning the preparation and surface properties of nonionic surfactants, derivatives of 1,3-dialkoxy-2-propanols and 1,3-dialkoxy(oligooxypropylene)-2-propanols with oligooxypropylene chains have been synthesized and investigated. The surface activity of these compounds has been determined, i.e., critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface excess concentration (⌫), surface area demand per molecule (A), surface tension at CMC (␥ CMC ), ⌬G°a ds , and ⌬G°m ic . A linear decrease of the log CMC vs number of oxypropylene groups is observed, and based on the Shinoda equation the work of cohesion per oxypropylene group when passing from molecular to micellar state is calculated for 0.43 kT. The equivalent of CH 2 in the aliphatic alcohol group is ca. 2.50 oxypropylene units. Surface properties of these surfactants, i.e., cloud point, wetting ability, contact angle, foam height, and emulsion stability type (O/W), have been determined as well.

The surface-chemical properties, critical micelle concentrations (CMC), and effect of salts on the cloud points (CP) of octoxynol 9 (Triton X-100) and tyloxapol (Triton WR-1339) were compared. The latter nonionic surfactant is essentially a heptamer of the former. Even though the molecular weight of
