Synthesis of newly cationic surfactant based on dimethylaminopropyl amine and their silver nanoparticles: Characterization; surface activity and biological activity

Three cationic surfactants have been prepared and used in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The hydrophobic chain length effect on the stability and the amount of the formed silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles enhanced the biological activity of the synthesized cationic surfactants.
