Dimeric and oligomeric surfactants are novel surfactants that are presently attracting
considerable interest in the academic and industrial communities working on surfactants …

Dimeric (gemini) surfactants are made up of two amphiphilic moieties connected at the level
of, or very close to, the head groups by a spacer group of varying nature: hydrophilic or …

The first reports on gemini surfactants concerned bisquaternary ammonium halide
surfactants. Their biological activity in aqueous solution was studied [13, 16, 17], and …

The literature, including patents, describing the emerging area of gemini surfactants is
reviewed. The differences in structure/property relationships between gemini and …

Gemini surfactant is the family of surfactant molecules possessing more than one
hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head group. These surfactants usually have better surface …

Recent years have seen significant advances in the field of gemini (dimeric) surfactants.
First, the effects of the length and nature of the spacer group on the behavior of gemini …

A total of 24 dicationic geminis surfactants were synthesized, having a 2-butynyl spacer and
chain lengths varying from 8 to 18 carbons. Geminis with more flexible butyl spacers were …
