Effect of ZnO on the interfacial tension decreases with increasing spacer length. Surfactant efficiency in emulsion stability increases with increasing spacer length. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: 0 In this paper the interfacial behavior of aqueous solutions of cationic gemini surfactants of the, N,N - Received 9 April 2016 bis(dimethylalkyl)-a,x-alkanediammoniumdibromide type (known as the 12-s-12 series), in the absence Revised 26 September 2016 and presence of ZnO nanoparticles was studied.
