The main role of this study is to prepare the green polymer based anionic surfactant as an alternativeto non-biodegradable surfactant for detergent applications. The detergent properties i.e., surface tensionmeasurements, foaming property, emulsifying ability, dispersing property, FTIR analysis and wettingbehaviour were studied using several rheological techniques. The critical micelle concentration (CMC)value was obtained at 6 mg/L of surfactant concentration showing no further remarkable changes insurface tension with increases in concentration. Low surface tension value was correlated with decreasein cohesive force exist between the molecules and allowed the surfactant easily adsorbed on the poresurface. The low surface tension value, reliable wetting characteristic, excellent emulsifying power,benchmark dispersing behaviour and suitable foaming property assuring the successful utilization ofpolymer based anionic surfactant for detergent applications
