This review focuses on synthetic and natural amphiphilic systems prepared from straight-
chain and macrocyclic compounds capable of self-assembly with the formation of nanoscale …

In this review, structure-property trends are systematically analyzed for four amphiphilic
properties of sugar-based surfactants: critical micelle concentration (CMC), its associated …

Due to negative effects of conventional fluorinated surfactants with long perfluorocarbon
chain (C x F 2x+ 1, x≥ 7) like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate …

Alkyl glycosides as modern industrial manufactured products are important. Furthermore, the
better water solubility should make them a greater potential application value. In this study …

Exopolysaccharide produced by lactic acid bacteria has various functions. In the present
study, one anti-oxidant polysaccharide fraction, namely S1-EPS, was extracted and purified …

Alkyl di-/tri-/tetraoxyethyl β-d-xylopyranosides as derivatives of alkyl xylosides are a class of
non-ionic sugar-based surfactants. They were stereoselectively synthesized by the Helferich …

Alkyl thioglycosides are a class of nonionic sugar-based sulfur-containing surfactants and
bioreagents. The surfactants 1, 2‑trans alkyl β‑d‑thioglucopyranosides with different alkyl …

Due to the inherent defects of the long alkyl chain in the related hydrophilicity and water
solubility, alkyl α-D-xylosides (7) had hardly the practical application as sugar-based …

A series of nonionic surfactants n-alkyl α-d-mannopyranosides (C n Man) with different alkyl
chain length (n= 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14) have been prepared and the influence of the …

To overcome the inherent weakness of the traditional alkyl α-d-glucopyranoside in water
solubility and surface activity, a series of sugar-based surfactants alkoxyethyl α-d …
