[0043] Table 1 Properties of the surfactant
[0044] After testing, the aqueous solutions of the surfactants prepared in Examples 1-4 were found to be transparent, free of precipitation, and exhibited low surface tension, high surface activity, large foaming height, and good foaming performance. They also demonstrated high inhibition zone diameters against *Escherichia coli* and *Staphylococcus aureus*, exhibiting excellent antibacterial properties. This is primarily because the surfactant's main chain is a hydrophobic polyester structure, with hydrophobic alkyl long chains in the side chains, and simultaneously containing hydrophilic carboxyl and amino hydrochloride groups, exhibiting amphiphilicity and strong surface activity. The resulting low surface tension and good foaming performance, along with the presence of amino hydrochloride N... + The positive ion antibacterial structure and the N-acetylcysteine bioantibacterial structure exhibit good bactericidal and inhibitory properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
[0045] Comparative Example 1's surfactant precursor lacks the hydrophilic structures of carboxyl groups and amino hydrochloride, exhibiting very poor water solubility. Its aqueous solution contains a large amount of precipitate, exhibits high surface tension, low foaming height, and poor surface activity and foaming performance. Furthermore, it does not contain amino hydrochloride N. + The positive ion antibacterial structure and the N-acetylcysteine bioantibacterial structure have very poor antibacterial properties.
[0046] Comparative Example 2: glutaric acid and the surfactant prepared from it do not contain amino hydrochloride structures, have poor water solubility, high surface tension of the solution, low foaming height, poor surface activity and foaming performance, and poor antibacterial properties.
[0047] The octadecylserine alcohol of Comparative Example 3 and the surfactant precursor prepared therefrom do not contain alkenyl groups and cannot undergo addition reaction with the thiol group of N-acetylcysteine. The prepared surfactant does not contain the N-acetylcysteine structure, has poor water solubility, high surface tension of the solution, low foaming height, poor surface activity and foaming performance, and poor antibacterial properties.
[0048] The surfactant (prepared in Example 4) was added to deionized water and stirred to prepare an aqueous solution with a concentration of 5-30 g / L. The solubility of the solution was observed, and the surface tension, foam height and antibacterial properties of the solution were tested.
