Surfactants are molecules (ionic or nonionic) that upon adsorption at the air-water interface
reduce surface tension of water. Therefore, surfactants are surface-active agents …

The ever-increasing environmental concern about surfactants triggers an interest in natural
surfactant. This review, which has an emphasis on work published since 1998, covers three …

Mallotus philippinensis is an important source of molecules with strong antioxidant activity
widely used medicinal plant. Previous studies have highlighted their anticestodal …

Nanoparticles with pH-sensitive behavior may enhance the success of chemotherapy in
many cancers by efficient intracellular drug delivery. Here, we investigated the effect of a …

In this review, we report the most important contributions in the structure, synthesis,

Amino acid-based surfactants constitute a class of bio-based surfactants with excellent
adsorption and aggregation properties, low potential toxicity and broad biological activity. In …

The present research describes the synthesis of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles from
Escherichia coli under the influence of bacterial enzyme sulphate reductase and study on …

New linear analogs of surfactin have been synthesized. Their physico-chemical parameters
were determined. The results indicate that these linear products show surface activities …

Cationic colloidal systems composed of arginine based surfactants (single or gemini
structures) and membrane additive compounds such as DLPC or cholesterol have been …

Ugni molinae Turcz, also known as “Murtilla”, is a plant that grows in the south of Chile.
Infusions of its leaves have long been used in traditional native herbal medicine. The …
