“…As suggested by the structural descriptors predicting antiseptic efficacy summarized in Cronin et al’s () work, hydrogen bonds help to strengthen the interaction between antibacterial compounds and the outer cell membrane, further contributing to enhanced antibacterial efficacy. QAC with polyethylene glycol chains synthesized by Abd‐Elaal and colleagues exhibited improved antibacterial efficacy owing to the presence of strong hydrogen‐bond interaction (Tawfik et al, ), in accordance with the finding of our work.…”

“…In the field of antimicrobial agents, QAC with various structures have been developed and thoroughly investigated (Aiad, Tawfik, El-Shafie, & Rhman, 2017;Massi, Guittard, Géribaldi, Levy, & Duccini, 2003;Massi, Guittard, Levy, & Geribaldi, 2009;Negm, Aiad, & Tawfik, 2010;Tawfik, Abd-Elaal, Shaban, & Roshdy, 2015). However, besides the positively charged nitrogen atom, other cation-containing antiseptics remain comparatively obscure.…”

“…Notably, these γ CAC values were significantly lower than those of hydrocarbon-based surfactants (30-40 mN/m) [31] and were similar to those reported for other trisiloxane surfactants (20-25 mN/m) [7,8] and fluorosurfactants (18-28 mN/m) [9], which might be attributed to the two hydrophobic trisiloxane groups of the gemini surfactant molecules better facilitating the self assembly into aggregates and more efficiently decreasing the surface tension than the corresponding monomeric surfactants. Moreover, other physicochemical parameters (Γ CAC , A CAC , △G θ mic , and △G θ ads ) related to surface activity were calculated according to previous studies [32][33][34][35]. The variables Г max and A CAC are also related to m and n, and an increase in the spacer group (CH 2 ) resulted in a slight decrease in Г max and an increase in A CAC .…”

“…Measurements of foam power were done after shaking 100 mL of 0.1% concentration of the synthesized cationic surfactant solution vigorously in a closed, graduated, 250-mL cylinder at 30°C. Foam formation was measured by the foam height (in ml) initially produced, and foam stability was recorded by the time [28]. The biodegradability was measured according to the previous work [29].…”
