A new cationic gemini surfmer (polymerizable surfactant or surface‐active monomer) with an acrylic reactive group in its spacer group was synthesized and characterized, and its surface activity properties were examined in comparison with its intermediate surfactant 12‐3OH‐12·2Cl − , a previously‐reported gemini surfmer 12′‐2‐12′·2Br − , as well as monomeric surfactant dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide. It was found that neither the incorporation of a double bond onto the gemini surfactant nor the change of location of the double bond will affect surface activities of the gemini surfactant.
