In this study, asphalt emulsion was manufactured by phase inversion emulsification method with nonionic surfactants(Span 80, Span 60, Tween 80, and Tween 60), anionic surfactant(SLS) and cationic surfactant(Imidazole) in different feeding ratio to make up for the week points of asphalt. Its stabilization was carefully investigated with respect to droplet size, viscosity, zeta potential, and water-proofing property. When the surfactants mixed with nonionic and anionic surfactant were used into the asphalt, a stabilization of the asphalt emulsion was good. As the amount of the mixed surfactant was increased, the droplet size of asphalt emulsion were decreased, while the viscosity and zeta potential were increased. When the surfactants mixed with nonionic and anionic surfactant were used into the asphalt, a stabilization of asphalt emulsion was good.

Polymerized vesicles were prepared from monomeric cholesterol-containing surfactant. These vesicles were used to extract the free cholesterol. A polymerized vesicle was formed both monomeric cholesterol-containing surfactant and monomeric surfactant containing two alkyl chain(50 : 50 weight ratio). This vesicle got the better extracting capacity compared with the vesicle which got the other weight ratio of the surfactants. This vesicle also exhibited the fastest substrate permeability. These all results showed that considerable vacant room is necessary in polymerized vesicles in order to extract more cholesterols.

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the counter ion binding constant (B) for the mixed micellizations of DBS (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate) with Brij 30 (polyoxyethylene(4) lauryl ether) and Brij 35 (polyoxyethylene (23) lauryl ehter) at 25 ${^{\circ}C}$ in pure water and in aqueous solutions of n-butanol were determined as a function of $\alpha$1 (the overall mole fraction of DBS) by the use of electric conductivity method. Various thermodynamic parameters (Xi, $\gamma$i, Ci, aiM, $\beta$, and ${\Delta}H_{mix}$) were calculated and compared for each mixed surfactant system by means of the equations derived from the nonideal mixed micellar model. There sults show that the molecules of DBS interact more strongly with Brij 35 than Brij 30 and that the DBS/Brij35 mixed system has greater negative deviation from the ideal mixed micellar model than the DBS/Brij 30mixed system.

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the counterion binding constant (B) in a mixed micellar state of the sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) with the polyoxyethylene(23) lauryl ether (Brij 35) at 25oC in water and aqueous solutions of n-butanol (0.1M, 0.2M, and 0.3M) were determined as a function of a1 (the overall mole fraction of DBS) by the use of electric conductivity method and surface tensiometer method. Various thermodynamic parameters (Xi, i, Ci, aiM, , and Hmix) were calculated by means of the equations derived from the nonideal mixed micellar model. The effect of n-butanol on the micellization of the DBS/Brij 35 mixtures has been also studied by analyzing the measured and calculated thermodynamic parameters.

In this study, the mixed toxicity of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Hg) and surfactants (SLS, ALS) was evaluated by using Vibrio fischeri and Daphnia magna. The sensitivity of ecotoxicity to heavy metals was sensitive to daphnia but the case of surfactants were more sensitive to Vibrio fischeri. Experimental results of Vibrio fischeri show that the toxicity value P(O) was lower than the predicted value P(E), and the antagonistic effect was observed when the heavy metal and the surfactant were mixed. It seems that SLS and ALS, which are anionic surfactants, have anionic form on the hydrophilic head, so that they have an antagonistic effect that they are bonded with heavy metal ion which is a cation type and the actual toxicity is lowered. In Daphnia magna, the results showed that antagonistic, additive and synergistic effects were in order as concentrations increased. As the concentration increases, Daphnia magna, which is highly sensitive to heavy metals, seems to have a synergistic effect with a rapid increase in mortality.

The surfactants applied in household detergents and industrial cleansers should satisfy the requirement of not just the basic function such as emulsification, solubilisation, dispersion, detergency, wetting and foaming, but also the economical efficiency and the safety to human and environment. In the viewpoint of the sustainable development, the surfactants, moreover, have to reduce raw materials and energy consumption and waste disposal when they are being manufactured and also consumed for their purposes. New high-performance surfactants have been extensively studied and developed in order to respond the change in social and economical environment. Noticeable progresses have been achieved so far, which are the significant increase in solubility and surface activity through the minor modification of existing surfactant molecular structure and the synergistic increase in a surface activity shown in the mixed surfactant system of anionic and cationic surfactants. In this review, the important and meaningful progresses achieved recently in technological advance and practical application will be summarized and discussed.

In this study, the effect of sosurfactant on microemulsion phase behavior was investigated in ternary systems containing alkyl ethoxylates nonionic surfactant, water and d-limonene. The addition of a cosurfactant produced a microemulsion phase over a wide range of temperature and promoted formation of a microemulsion phase at lower temperatures. In particular, small amounts of n-propanol, as a cosurfactant, were found to be the most effective in extending a microemulsion phase region over a wide range of temperature. Temperature sensitivity of a nonionic surfactant system was effectively relieved by addition of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. And the formation of one phase microemulsion was not affected by pH, hardness concentration and addition of an antioxidation agent. The cleaner candidates were determined from microemulsion phase behavior study, and their cleaning efficiency was tested using a dipping method. All the cleaner candidates selected during this study showed excellent removal efficiency for abietic acid over a temperature range from 30 to $40^{\circ}C$ presumably due to a decrease in interfacial tension.

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the counterion binding constant (B) in a mixed micellar state of the trimethyltetradecylammonium bromide (TTAB) with the polyoxyethylene (23) lauryl ether (Brij 35) at $25^{\circ}C$ in water and in aqueous solutions of n-butanol (0.1 M, 0.2 M, and 0.3 M) were determined as a function of ${\alpha}_1$ (the overall mole fraction of TTAB) by the use of electric conductivity method and surface tensiometer method. Various thermodynamic parameters ($X_i$, ${\gamma}_i$, $C_i$, ${a_i}^M$, ${\beta}$, and ${\Delta}H_{mix}$) were calculated by means of the equations derived from the nonideal mixed micellar model. The effects of n-butanol on the micellization of TTAB/Brij 35 mixtures have been also studied by analyzing the measured and calculated thermodynamic parameters.

critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the counter ion binding constant (B) in a mixed micellar state of the trimethyltetradecylammonium bromide (TTAB) with the polyoxyethylene (23) lauryl ether (Brij 35) at 25oC in water and in aqueous solutions of butanol isomers were determined as a function of 1 (the overall mole fraction of TTAB) by the use of electric conductivity method and surface tensiometer method. Various thermodynamic parameters (Xi, i, Ci, aiM, and Hmix) were calculated by means of the equations derived from the nonideal mixed micellar model. The results say that the effects of butanol isomers on the micellization of TTAB/Brij 35 mixtures have been in the order of n-butanol>iso-butanol>t-butanol> water.

Concrete, the mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water, is a suspension substance extensively used to construct building materials. When a concrete mortar is applied to the underwater construction, the rheology of concrete is of great importance to its flow performance, placement, anti-washout and consolidation. In this research, the anti-washout and rheological properties of concrete have been investigated with concrete admixtures prepared by adding anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and polymeric thickeners. The concrete mortar formulated by pseudo-polymeric systems with the electrostatic association of anionic and cationic surfactants, showed high viscosities and suitable anti-washout properties, but poor pumpabilities. The addition of poly methyl vinyl ether to the mixed surfactant system exhibits synergistic effects by improving the concrete mortar properties of the concrete mortar such as fluidity, visco-elastic property, self-leveling, and anti-washout.
