Construction of Gemini composite based on TiO2 pillared montmorillonite for efficient oil-water separation

Self-assembly and antimicrobial activity of cationic gemini surfactants containing triazole moieties

“…Gemini surfactants, also referred to as dimeric surfactants, consist of two hydrophilic heads and two hydrophobic chains that are connected by a rigid or flexible spacer. 1 Over the last two decades, they have attracted particular interest in different fields including material sciences, wastewater remediation, 2,3 surface treatment, 4,5 catalysis, 6,7 analytical separation, solubilization and flotation processes 8 and paint additive industry. 9,10 Compared to conventional single-tail surfactants, they are more effective and can often attain much lower surface tension, critical micellar concentration and Kraft point values.…”
