Surfactants are amphiphiles, ie, they have a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic moiety that
confer these molecules peculiar properties, in fact they collect at interfaces between two …

Many of the amphiphilic molecules, or surfactants, are produced from fossil-based raw
materials. With the increasing awareness of the climate situation, focus has shifted toward …

Surfactants are often completely invisible to us and yet they are present in almost every
chemical that we use in our daily life. They are found in toothpastes, cosmetics, sunscreens …

Sugar fatty acid esters are a relevant class of surfactants. Base catalyzed transesterification
of lower esters may be carried out on an industrial level. Direct esterification of fatty acids …

Surfactants, also called surface-active agents are organic chemicals that change the
properties of water by lowering the surface tension of water. In the paper industry there are …

Sucrose aspartates were synthesised on kg-scales using a simple, high-yielding one-pot
procedure from inexpensive sucrose, fatty amines and maleic anhydride and tested for their …

The dicarboxylic anhydrides are used in preparation of surfactants. Among these succinic
anhydride is considered as a good precursor, or starting material for production of surface …

Society is becoming progressively more worried with safety issues while wishing for a
sustainable future. Sustainable chemistry represents an area of innovation, which not only …

This work reviews the use of carbohydrates and their derivatives as renewable raw materials
in the production of surfactants. Methods to attain state‐of‐the‐art carbohydrate‐derived …

Science has greatly contributed to the advancement of technology and to the innovation of
production processes and their applications. Cleaning products have become indispensable …
