Study on Preparation, Properties and Synthesis of The Cleavable Acetal-type and Ketal-type Surpfactants

The surfactants with acetal group or Ketal group in molecular structure is a type of easily cleavable surfactants. The paper reviews the synthesis method , of three sorts of surfactants with acetal group , cyclic acetal , alkyl glucoside , and linear polyoxyalkylene acetal ,and their major research direction in the future were indicated.
