Abstract: The synthesis of novel glycerol based non-ionic gemini surfactant was carried out in two stages in the present research work. Initially glycerol was esterified using cotton seed oil at higher temperature followed by reaction with 1, 2, 7, 8-Diepoxideoctane to form the non-ionic gemini surfactant. The new gemini surfactant was characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of surfactant on Solubilization of polar and non-polar solute was studied. Contact angles with respect to different solid probes were measured. It can be concluded that the new glycerol-based non-ionic gemini surfactant exhibit generally good solubilizing and wetting behaviour.
