N-丙基双链羧酸钠助剂的合成与不同pH下界面性能研究

    Synthesis and interfacial properties of N-propyl double-chain sodium carboxylate adjuvants at various pH values

    • 摘要: 农药有效利用率偏低是制约农业绿色可持续发展的关键问题之一,直接影响农业生态安全与资源利用效率。农药助剂可改善药液的分散、铺展、黏附与滞留效果,对保障农药活性成分精准传递、提升有效利用率发挥着关键作用。农药施用环境具有pH波动、温湿度多变等复杂特征,对农药助剂在复杂环境下的界面适配性提出了更高要求。本研究设计合成了5种不同碳链长度(C7~C11)的N-丙基双链羧酸钠表面活性剂,以氨基和羧基作为pH响应基团,通过pH变化改变分子的带电性,调控液滴的界面性质;并考察了碳链长度与pH值对其表面活性、润湿铺展性能、黏附性能的影响,明确了其对农药剂量传递关键界面作用的调控机制。结果表明:酸性条件下,所合成化合物的润湿黏附性能更佳,同时更长碳链的化合物黏附功更高,其中C11在pH 2条件下在油菜叶面的接触角为59.1°,显著低于pH 10条件下的72.8°,表明其有利于提高农药在酸性病灶的润湿附着性能,具有作为助剂开发应用的潜力。研究将含有酸碱敏感基团的表面活性剂引入农药助剂体系,可为构建具有环境适配特性的农药助剂提供理论参考,并对提升农药利用率具有一定指导意义。

       

      Abstract: Low pesticide utilization efficiency represents a major constraint on the green and sustainable development of agriculture. It also directly affects agricultural ecological security and resource use efficiency. Pesticide adjuvants, as essential components throughout the entire pesticide application, play a key role in controlling spray dispersion, spreading, adhesion and retention. Therefore, they are crucial for ensuring accurate pesticide dose delivery and enhancing effective utilization. In practice, pesticide application environments are highly complex, characterized by factors such as pH fluctuations, variable temperature and humidity. These factors impose strict requirements on the interfacial adaptability of adjuvants in complex environments. Surfactants containing acid-base sensitive groups, which can regulate interfacial properties under external conditions, have been studied in other fields but not yet systematically applied in the field of pesticides. In this work, five N-propyl double-chain sodium carboxylate surfactants with different carbon chain lengths (C7-C11) were designed and synthesized, using amino and carboxyl groups as pH-sensitive functional groups, which alter the molecular charge state under varying pH conditions, thereby regulating the interfacial properties of liquid droplets. The effects of carbon chain length and pH on surface activity, wetting behavior, and adhesion performance were investigated. Meanwhile, we clarified the response mechanisms underlying the key interfacial processes in pesticide delivery. The results indicate that these adjuvants exhibit superior wetting and adhesion performance under acidic conditions. Moreover, surfactants with longer carbon chains possess higher work of adhesion. Notably, compound C11 exhibited a contact angle of 59.1° on rapeseed leaf surfaces at pH 2, which was significantly lower than 72.8° measured at pH 10. These properties help pesticides wet and attach to acidic disease sites, indicating the potential of the synthesized compounds as surface-active adjuvants. This study introduces pH-responsive surfactants containing acid-base sensitive groups into pesticide adjuvant systems, providing a theoretical reference for developing pesticide adjuvants with environmental adaptability. It is also of significance for improving pesticide utilization efficiency.
