Abstract

The effects of 1,3-Butanediol, 1,2-Pentanediol, and 1,2-Hexanediol in surfactant solutions on cmc, surface tension, foaming and emulsifying properties were determined. The addition of diols in aqueous surfactant solution decreased cmc and surface tension, and enhanced the foaming and emulsifying power. This trend is more significant by the longer hydrocarbon chain length of the diols. This property was confirmed because the diol's alkyl chain and the hydrophobic interaction with the surfactant reduce the cohesive force of water and increase the interaction between the head groups of the surfactant at interface. In addition, MIC test was conducted to determine the preservative power of each diol, and as a result, the antibacterial activity was effective in the order of 1,2-HDO > 1,2-PDO > 1,3-BDO. The results of this study show that diol can be applied to cosmetics as an auxiliary surfactant and antibacterial agent.

본 연구에서는 계면활성제 용액에서 1,3-Butanediol, 1,2-Pentanediol, 1,2 Hexanediol 들이 cmc, 표면장력, 기포력 및 유화력에 미치는 영향을 연구 하였다. 계면활성제 수용액에 diol의 첨가는 cmc와 표면장력 저하를 초래 하였으며 기포력 및 유화력은 향상 되었다. 이러한 경향은 diol의 사슬길이가 길수록 현저 하였다. 이러한 특성은 diol의 알킬사슬과 계면활성제 분자간에 소수성 상호작용이 물분자간의 응집력을 감소시키고, 계면에서 계면활성제 headgroup간 상호작용을 증진시키기 때문이다. 또한 각 diol의 방부력을 평가하기 위하여 MIC 측정을 수행 하였으며 방부력은 1,2-HDO > 1,2-PDO > 1,3-BDO 순서였다. 본 연구의 결과들은 diol들이 화장품에서 보조 계면활성제와 방부제로 이용될 수 있음을 확인 시켜 주웠다.
