Nowadays considerable research has been carried out on a new type
of surfactants called as gemini surfactants, using variety of
experimental methods. By far the most studied of gemini surfactants
are cationic gemini, m-s-m (N, N -bis(alkyldimethyl)-,
-alkanediammonium dibromide type) type surfactant. In particular,
the choice of cationic gemini surfactants was made in an effort
because of the low toxicity of quaternary ammonium surfactants as
well as low critical micelle concentration. In addition to low
toxicity, quaternary ammonium surfactants exhibit broad spectrum of
antimicrobial activity including antibacterial, antifungal and
antiviral. Gemini surfactants may be an appropriate alternative to
traditional quaternary ammonium compounds. The geminis used in the
present studies, though extensively studied, still lack a
quantitative interpretation of their mixed micellar behaviour with
the conventional surfactants. Therefore, a thorough investigation
and relative comparison among the mixed micellar properties with
the conventional surfactants would allow their appropriate
applications to achieve both fundamental as well as applied goals.
