Article Synopsis
- The study synthesized a new series of block polyoxybutenol ethers (AEOBO) by combining existing polyoxyethylene components with 1,2-epoxybutane using a semicontinuous method and various analytical techniques for structural analysis.
- Surface tension and diffusion processes were measured before and after synthesis, revealing that the introduction of BO groups significantly lowered the critical micelle concentration and altered the surface properties of the compounds.
- Microscopic analysis showed that all synthesized systems formed spherical aggregates, with the AEOBO variant resulting in smaller aggregate sizes and revealing a faster foam decay process compared to other systems, indicating that the BO group influences the stability and behavior of foams.
Surfactant reduces the surface tension of liquids, resulting in improved emulsion stability, and there is great interest in pesticide additives. Ethoxylate is often used as a pesticide emulsifier. However, the degree of ethoxylation and the existence of dioxane byproducts can significantly affect the performance of emulsifiers.

Alcohol ethoxylates with a ratio of ethylene oxide/substrate near 3 were synthesized. The catalysts influenced the reaction rate, molecular weight distribution of adducts, and formation of byproducts.
