In order to investigate the effect of thermal stability of alkanolamide on oil/water interfacial tensions (IFT), lauric diethanolamide (LDEA) was synthesized. The effects of temperature and standing time on the composition and oil/water IFT was studied in detail. The results showed that the changes in composition and oil/water IFT at the same conditions were essentially in agreement. The best standing temperature range was from 30 to 60 °C with a standing time of more than 10 days. The inherent cause of thermal stability on oil/water IFT was revealed through structure characterization and composition analysis with FTIR spectrometry and GC–MS spectrometry. It was found that the composition's change of mixed LDEA systems disturbed the hydrophilic‐lipophilic balance, which influenced the ability to reduce the interfacial tension.
