- The surface properties of amine oxides with a fluoroether chain
-
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) includes long-chained fluorosurfactants, for instance, perfluorooctanonate (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS). In order to find out alternative fluorosurfactants, we synthesized eight amine oxides with a fluoroether chain. Their surface properties were evaluated and compared with perfluoroalkyl and hydrocarbon analogues. The surface tensions at critical micelle concentration (γcmc) for the eight amine oxides with a fluoroether chain were at a range from 15.5 to 23.0 mN/m, and γcmc of four fluoroether amine oxides were below 17 mN/m comparable to perfluorooctyl analogues (16.4 mN/m) and much lower than perfluorohexyl (20.5 mN/m) and hydrocarbon analogues (24.2 and 24.7 mN/m). The critical micelle concentration (cmc) for the eight amine oxides with a fluoroether chain were 3 to 535 × 10?4 mol/L. The cmc of four fluoroether amine oxides were 3 to 21 × 10?4 mol/L (0.2 to 1.0 g/L) comparable to perfluorooctyl (0.4 g/L) and hydrocarbon analogues (4 and 10 × 10?4 mol/L) and much lower than perfluorohexyl analogue (36.9 g/L). The surface excesses, the limiting molecule areas and the free energies of micellization of amine oxides were calculated. Fluoroether surfactants are promising alternatives for PFOA and PFOS.

- Carboxamide derivative, processes for producing the same, and detergent composition
-
To provide: a carboxamide derivative having reduced content of amide ester; a method for producing thereof; and a detergent composition containing the carboxamide derivative and having excellent low-temperature stability. One method for producing a carboxamide derivative is to react carboxamide, produced with a manufacturing method of carboxamide including 0.02% by weight to 0.18% by weight of amide ester, with hydrogen peroxide, wherein the method includes a carboxamide synthesis process to synthesize carboxamide by reacting diamine with fatty acid ester at a molar rate of 1.20 to 1.60. Another method for producing a carboxamide derivative is to react the carboxamide with monohaloalkylcarboxylic acid or a salt thereof. A carboxamide derivative is produced by the method for producing a carboxamide derivative. A detergent composition includes the carboxamide derivative. The carboxamide derivative is preferably amidoamine oxide or amide betaine.
