Abstract

Synthesis of cationic polysaccharide (Aloe) Schiff base surfactants was described and their chemical structures were confirmed by using FTIR spectroscopic, H-NMR and UV analysis. The surface activities of these surfactants were measured, including surface tension, critical micelle concentration, effectiveness, efficiency, maximum surface excess and minimum surface area at 25 °C, interfacial tension and emulsification power at 25 °C. Adsorption and micellization free energies of these amphiphiles in their solutions showed a good tendency towards adsorption at the interfaces.
