Abstract

A novel polymer based on sorbitol, polyethylene glycol, citric acid has been synthesized using HCl as catalyst. The experimental conditions, order of addition of ingredients, ratio of ingredients, catalyst, time and temperature have been standardized to get desired molecular weight, HLB ratio and viscosity characteristics. Spectroscopic studies of I.R. & N.M.R. of polymers has been undertaken which reveal presence of ester, ether, free Hydroxyl and free acid groups in the polymer. The selected polymer has been used as replacement of conventional linear alkyl benzenesulphonate in liquid detergent formulations. The compositions are ecofriendly and economical as they depend upon vegetable source polymers.
