Research Summary
Surface-active substances, also known as surfactants, are compounds that lower the surface tension between two phases, such as a liquid and a solid or another liquid. Surfactants consist of molecules with hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) regions, allowing them to adsorb at the interface between different phases and reduce surface tension. This unique property enables surfactants to facilitate the dispersion, emulsification, wetting, and foaming of substances, making them essential in various industrial and consumer applications. Surfactants are widely used in detergents, cleaners, soaps, shampoos, personal care products, cosmetics, paints, coatings, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food products, where they help to stabilize emulsions, improve solubility, enhance spreading and wetting properties, and reduce surface tension. Surfactants play a crucial role in processes such as cleaning, foaming, dispersing, and lubricating, contributing to the efficiency, effectiveness, and performance of a wide range of products and formulations.
