sugar-based silicone surfactants are generally prepared by reacting (poly)siloxanes containing active functional groups such as amino groups, epoxy groups, and hydroxyl groups with glucose derivatives.
the researchers first prepared hydroxyl-containing polyether-modified polysiloxane through hydrosilation, and then reacted with glucose to prepare sugar-based silicone surfactant. they found that this type of sugar-based silicone surfactant is not irritating to the eyes and skin. , has excellent softness and softness, and is a very mild surfactant suitable for use in personal care products.
han et al. prepared a series of sugar-based silicone surfactants by connecting sugars and trisiloxane such as ethylenediamine, and conducted surface activity studies. they found that the surface tension of most sugar-based silicone surfactants was less than 25 mn. /m.
