Abstract
A new kind of surfactant with chelating properties named N-acyl ethylenediamine triacetate (N-acyl ED3A) of different hydrocarbon chain lengths was synthesized from anhydrous ethylene diamine, fatty acid chlorides (capryloyl, lauroyl, myristoyl, palmitoyl, stearoyl, or oleoyl chloride) and chloroacetic acid. Surface parameters and thermodynamic parameters were investigated. The prepared surfactants were tested for their biodegradability and their antimicrobial activity against different strains of bacteria, yeast, and fungi was investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
