A series of cationic silicon-based gemini surfactants (Cm-PSi-Cm) having different hydrophobic chains length (m = 8,10,12,14,16,18) were synthesized. Subsequently, surface parameters including equilibrium surface tension (γCMC), critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface pressure at CMC (∏ CMC) and maximum surface excess (Γ max) were calculated according to the surface tension measurements. The importance of hydrophobic chains length on the surface activity of Cm-PSi-Cm was revealed in detail. With the increasing hydrophobic chains length, the equilibrium surface tension (gCMC) values follow the order of C8-PSi-C8 > C10-PSi-C10 > C12-PSi-C12< C14-PSi-C14< C16-PSi-C16< C18-PSi-C18. The thermodynamic parameters of micellization process, namely, standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG0 m), enthalpy (ΔH0 m) and entropy (ΔS0 m), were derived from conductivity measurements at different temperatures. The aggregation of the cationic silicon-based gemini surfactants (C12-PSi-C12) in aqueous solution at different concentrations was studied by DLS and TEM measurements. The formation of micelles and vesicles in C12-PSi-C12 solutions was observed at a concentration well above the CMC. Moreover, the morphology of vesicles changed from sphere to rod-like, dumbble-like and finally string dumbbell-like with the increasing of the surfactant concentration.
