The apparent methanol carbon number (CMeOH) and polarity index （IP） values are determined on the investigated surfactants as stationary phases in packed columns. Similarly, CMeOH and IP values are determined on simulated hydrophobic tail （SHT） models. The obtained results reveal that the introduction of SHT approach permits the distinction between the polarities of different surfactants and their head groups. The measured polarity terms are discussed as related to hydrophile-lipophile balance （HLB） number and the hydrophobic group carbon number （RCN）. Some equations relating the measured polarity values and these variable have been developed.展开更多

From the measured methanol carbon numbers, polarity indices, （IP）S and （IP）HG, are calculated. The determined polarity terms are plotted against the head group weight fraction ( fHG ) of the investigated surfactants and several equations have been developed. The study reveals that the molecular structural gap between alkanolamides and polyoxyethylenated long chain amines diminished when HLB numbers of these surfactant classes are plotted against fHG values. Consequently, a general equation relating HLB and fHG is obtained.展开更多
