摘要:
The present invention relates to novel two tail-two head and two tail-one head surfactants. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a novel composition of matter having the general formula:
wherein R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are selected from liner or branched hydrocarbon chains with carbon numbers 8 to 22; R3 is H, SO - y M + , or -O(CH2CH2O) n X; R4 is SO - y M + , or -O(CH2CH2O) n X; M is H, Li, Na, K. Rb or Cs; n is an integer from 2 to 50; y is 3 or 4; and, X is H or SO - y M + . Preferably, in the above composition when R3 is other than H, R3=R4.
