Medically reviewed by Marisa Garshick, MD Key Takeaways Surfactants help cleaning products mix with water to lift dirt and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
