Nonionic surfactants, diglycerol N-acyl glutamates were prepared through the esterification of N-acryl glutamic acids and glycidol in the presence of quarternary ammonium salts. Their cmc evaluated by the surface tension method was $0.15{\sim}0.75mol/{\ell}$, and the surface tension of aqueous solution was decreased to 28~35dyne/cm. L-DGLG with acyl group of carbon number of 12 showed good foaming power and emulsifying power, and the emulsifying power in toluene was stronger than in soybean oil. Dispersion effect of L-DGPG and L-DGSG with acyl group of carbon number of 16 and 18 in carbon black and ferric oxide were higher than L-DGLG. All of them showed good biodegradability at $20^{\circ}C$.

Reactive hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (reactive HPMCP) was synthesized by using a stepwise urethane reaction with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and 2-hydroxyethyl moth acrylate (HEMA). Molecular weight, acid number, and critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the synthesized reactive HPMCP and pristine HPMCP were measured and used as a polymeric surfactant in the emulsion polymerizations of styrene. In the preparation of HPMCP-hybrid poly styrene nanoparticles, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 wt% of HPMCPs were introduced, and the maximum rate of polymerization ($R_{p,max}$), the average number of radicals per particle (n), particle size distribution were investigated. In addition, core - shell morphology of the nanoparticles were observed by using TEM and their thermal stabilities were measured by using TGA. Reactive HPMCP showed higher $R_{p,max}$, smaller particle size, larger values of n and gel contents as compared with pristine HPMCP, due to the vinyl groups from HEMA, which can be reacted with styrene oligomers, in the reactive HPMCP.

As the surfactants that were used in micellar reaction, emulsion polymerization and phase-transfer reaction etc. have the problems, the cleavable surfactant was converted to inactive compound after such as the reaction in the condition. Because 1, 3-dioxolane ring by ketal or acetal reactioc is lack of stability in acid condition, it is easily made to acid-hydrolysis. And cmc value of the surfactant is assumed $1.0{\times}10^{-5}mol/L$ and surface tension in cmc is 31 dyne/cm. Compared with other surfactant, this surfactant foam property is not better. But emulsion property was relatively good. According as acid-hydrolysis property was observed the interface tension change between aqueous solution and benzene by the variation of pH and time, this surfactant was made to hydrolysis within about 300minutes in pH 1${\sims}$4. Therefore this surfactant is expected to be a good emulsifier that has the bad foam property and the acid-hydrolysis property in acid condition.

In this study, cationic gemini surfactants were synthesized by increasing the length of the hydrophobic chain and using 1,4-butanediol as a spacer, and the result was confirmed by $^1H-NMR$. The synthesized surfactant was a white powder, and Kraffts point was below $0^{\circ}C$. Surface tension measurements revealed that the evaluated critical micelle concentration (c.m.c) was $1.8{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}6.5{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$ with a surface tension of 22.5~26.1 dyne/cm at the c.m.c. The initial foam height for CG 14-6E-14 estimated by Ross-Miles method was 16 cm and after 5 minutes the height was 14 cm. It was confirmed that the initial foam force and foam stability were the highest. The foam test and emulsion stability of synthesized gemini cationic surfactants were also compared to those of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a commoly used surfactant.

The objective of this study is to investigate the change of physicochemical properties of humic acid, surfactants and water by pulsed electric field treatment. Critical micelle concentration(CMC) of surfactants and physicochemical properties of water were determined by the conductivity measurement, FT-IR and NMR, respectively. In electric field processing, structural changes of C-N complex and C=O were founded by FT-IR analysis. The increase of Hertz wave was in the range of 2.3 to 9.9 Hz in NMR analysis. CMC of cation and anion surfactant decreased to 1.3% and 9.2%, respectively, while the value of UV-vis increased. UV-vis of humic acid decreased by pulsed electric field. Therefore, application of pulsed electric field systeme was directly indicated to influence the physicochemical properties of water and organic compounds.

Vegetable fatty acid solid soap requires a drying process for moisture evaporation and hardness after being manufactured through saponification. Although the soap is manufactured by mixing additives mainly from natural ingredients, existing studies have focused primarily on the usability of vegetable solid soap. Consequently, research into the physical properties of vegetable fatty acid solid soap mixed with natural ingredients has been unsatisfactory. Therefore, this study attempted to compare and observe the changes in the physical properties (pH, surface tension, critical micelle concentration, and cleansing power) of solid soap in accordance with the drying period and additives (tea tree E.O and $TiO_2$) using pH paper, the Du Nouy measurement method, sedimentation method, and ultrasound washer. Regardless of the mixture with additives, vegetable fatty acid solid soap showed the same pH, and there was no change in the pH while maintaining pH 8 beginning from the $2^{nd}$ weeks to $12^{th}$ weeks of drying. In addition, as a result of measuring the surface tension and CMC, regardless of the drying period, only the soap added with $TiO_2$ showed an even value of 62.5mg/L, whereas the other soap specimens showed a decline in CMC to 25mg/L on the fourth week of drying. As a result of measuring the detergency, the removal efficiency of vegetable fatty acid solid soap mixed with tea tree E.O and $TiO_2$ and dried for four weeks was 4.50~4.65%, which was higher than that of the vegetable fatty acid solid soap without additives (3.62~3.92%).

To develop carriers of hydrophobic anticancer agents based on chitosan, chitosan oligosaccharide lactate (COS) was chemically modified with lithocholic acid (LA) which is one of the bile acids as a hydrophobic group. The physicochemical properties of the lithocholic acid conjugated chitosan nanoparticles (COS-LA) were investigated using $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and spectrofluorophotometer. COS-LA-paclitaxel (CLs-Tx) nanoparticles loading paclitaxel as an anticancer agent were prepared by a dialysis method and its loading efficiency was measured through HPLC. On the basis of DLS results, the estimated particle sizes of CLs-Tx were around 300 nm. Also, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) was proven to be dependent on the degree of substitution of lithocholic acid. It showed that the CLs-Tx has the superior potential for the application as a paclitaxel carrier.

In order to improve the adhesion of water-based adhesive, gemini type nonionic reactive surfactants were synthesized and applied to water-based adhesives. The surfactants were synthesized by using maleic acid and polyoxyethylene cetyl ether having different length of ethylene oxide and confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$. Their appearance was light yellow wax. The cloud point of the compound was more than $78^{\circ}C$. The measured critical micelle concentration (c.m.c) was $1.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}7.0{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$ and surface tension at c.m.c was 25.9~32.0 mN/m. As the number of ethylene oxide increased, the emulsifying power was improved. The foaming height of each compound by Ross-Miles method was 1.4~4.5 cm. The synthesized surfactants was then used as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization of water-based adhesives and its physical properties were evaluated. The solid contents of prepared adhesives was 59%. The average particle size and initial tackiness of the prepared adhesives were 164~297 nm and ball no. of 20~32, respectively. The peel strength was $1.8{\sim}2.1kg_f/mm$. The retention rate of adhesives viscosity was evaluated to 99% during 30 days. Therefore, synthesized gemini type nonionic reactive surfactants are expected to be applied as an emulsifier for the high adhesive force.

In this research, polymeric anionic surfactants having various molecular weights and acid values were synthesized using a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The CSTR has an advantage of higher production rate and more constant product properties compared to batch and semi-batch reactors. The polymeric surfactants were made using butyl acrylate as a hydrophobic group and acrylic acid as a hydrophilic group. The synthesized polymeric surfactants were ionized with alkali solution and were used as an anionic surfactant. To investigate the properties as a surfactant, the properties of the synthesized surfactant, such as acid value, critical micelle concentration (CMC) and molecular weight, were measured. The results showed that the acid values of the polymeric surfactants were 60 to 380 and a number average molecular weight were 8,000 to 13,000 g/mol. Also, it was found that the CMC was around 0.01 g/ml, which showed similar level values with ordinary surfactant. To prove the performance of the polymeric surfactant, acrylic emulsion PSAs were synthesized using the acquired polymeric surfactant. The results showed that the maximum peel strength of 21.24 N/25mm when acid value was 150 and molecular weight was 8,500 g/mol. The values of peel strength and initial tack of acrylic emulsion PSAs using polymeric surfactant synthesized in this study showed much higher than those of reference PSAs synthesized using ordinary anionic surfactant, SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) and SDS/TRX (Triton X-100).
