Sugar-Based Ester Quaternary Ammonium Compounds and Their Surfactant Properties

  • Original Article
  • Published:
Journal of Surfactants and Detergents

Abstract

Two sugar-based ester quaternary ammonium compounds were synthesized and their surface behavior and antimicrobial activity were investigated. The compatibility with anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was further studied. Results indicated that the synthesized cationic surfactants showed high surface activity and good synergistic effects with SDS.
