Interfacial properties of dodecyl-946;-d-maltoside (DDM) and dodecyl-946;-d-fructofuranosyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (DFG) are being explored at both the air/water and dodecane/water interfaces. While surface tensiometry was employed for the study of the air/water interface, the dynamic drop volume technique was used to explore the oil/water (o/w) interface. Both surfactants are water soluble and non-ionic in nature. These surfactants differ slightly in their head group composition, whereas the structure of their alkyl tail is identical with same number of CH2 groups in it. Therefore they differ slightly in head group polarity, and therewith in HLB (hydrophilic–lipophillic balance) value.
