Abstract: A novel twin-head surfactant，N,N-bis[3-(dimethylsulfopropylammonio)-propyl)] palmitylamide，was synthesized using palmitic acid，tetramethyldipropylenetriamine and 1,3-propane sultone as starting materials. The structure of this sulfobetaine surfactant was confirmed by FT-IR and ESI-MS spectrum，and surface chemical properties of the product were measured. The lowest surface tension was 50.1mN/m，and critical micelle concentration was 1.78×10?4mol/L at 25℃. At the concentration was greater than cmc，the distribution coefficient of nitrobenzene in this product micellar phase lgKmc was 3.12；calcium soap dispersing index LSDR of this surfactant was 4%；stability level of resistance to hard water of this surfactant was 5.
