title: Evaluation of the interfacial properties of a new potent antimicrobial surfactant C31G.
abstract: The surface activity of a new potent antimicrobial mixture (C31G) of alkyl betaines and alkyl amine oxides were evaluated in order to determine the relationship between its antimicrobial effectiveness and physical properties. Therefore the surface tension measurements were performed at different temperatures using an interfacial tensiometer. Critical micelle concentrations, interfacial and thermodynamic parameters of C31G were obtained from the surface tension data.
