Palm oil-based polymeric surfactants of anionic and non-ionic charges, AS1 and NS1, were successfully synthesized via polyesterification reaction. Both AS1 and NS1 demonstrated limited solubility in aqueous medium. Surfactant solutions were prepared before adding into the partially de-ammoniated HA...
