Abstract

In this study, three PEG-maleated rosin polyesters were produced by reacting between maleated rosin and PEG with different molecular weights and served as surfactants. The surface characteristics of these PEG-maleated rosin polyesters were detected. The conformational transition and adsorption characteristics of these polyesters were analyzed with the reorientation theory on the water–air surface. The surfactant mole fraction at the water–air surface increased as surfactant concentration increased, while the solvent mole fraction was decreased. The amount of surfactant on the water–air surface at state 1 with a maximal molar area appeared one unimodal in distribution and that at state 2 occupying a minimal molar area appeared a sigmoid distribution with П growth. The calculated adsorption free energy from CMC value is lower than calculated micellization energy obtained from molecular area at state 2 indicates the polyethylene glycol-maleated rosin polyesters firstly spread on the water–air surface and then aggregated into micelles. The results lay a foundation for better understand the adsorption and self-assembly processes.
