Silverson Machines has released its latest “how-to” video demonstrating the benefits of high shear mixing to dilute high active surfactants, or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). This is a common ...

Scientists have made a surfactant based on nanoparticle dimers, which is responsive to multiple stimuli. The nanosurfactant combines several characteristics of each 'active' molecular surfactant which ...

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules that contain hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. Surfactants orient themselves at the air-water interface so that the hydrophilic part is in water and the ...

Oil and water can for the first time be mixed and separated on demand thanks to a new, reversible surfactant. The liquid molecule could prove invaluable in mitigating the environmental damage caused ...

The reluctance for oil and water to mix is so well-known that it's even used to described things that don't go well together - it's why salad dressing separates if it hasn't been mixed for a few ...

The lung provides an extensive surface area mediating gas exchange between epithelial cells and the capillaries in the alveolus. Since lung cells are in direct contact with environmental gases and ...

Oil and water famously don't mix - until surfactants get involved. These molecules act as tiny brokers between two opposites, one end binding to the oil and the other to water, allowing shampoos, ...

A study reveals that froth in the Yamuna results from human and natural surfactants, worsened by poor sewage treatment and sudden barrage openings.

When people hear of surfactants, they normally think of a static chemical compound used to stabilize droplets in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, or paints. Research has shown that active forms ...
