Abstract

A novel three series of anionic polymeric surfactants were prepared by polymerization of sulfonated styrene and allyl ester of long chain fatty acid chloride (decanoyl, lauroyl and palmitoyl chloride). The unique structural features of these surfactants were confirmed by different spectroscopic tools (IR and 'HNMR). The surface properties of these compounds such as surface tension, interfacial tension, emulsion stability, wetting power, foam height, solubilization and dispersant properties in disperse dye systems were determined and evaluated. A comparison studies were done between the chemical structures and surface properties of such compounds. Biodegradability and stability to hydrolysis in acidic and alkaline medium were determined and evaluated.
