A major UK-led clinical trial has found that a treatment commonly used to help premature babies breathe offers no benefit for infants on life support with severe bronchiolitis—a seasonal viral ...

Surfactants’ viral inactivation mechanism “is influenced by both the surfactant’s properties and the characteristics of the target virus,” Heldt points out.

A novel human fetal lung-derived alveolar organoid model reveals mechanisms of surfactant protein C maturation relevant to interstitial lung disease ...

Solubilization emerges as the primary mechanism driving the dissolution of blind-end residual oil by the middle-phase microemulsion, as depicted in Figure 12. However, hindered by water column ...

Polyethylene (PE) is a hydrophobic polymeric insulating material. It has been found that adding hydrophilic additives can enhance the water tree resistance of PE. On the other hand, a surfactant ...

Business Indorama may spin off surfactants by Alexander H. Tullo March 14, 2024 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 102, Issue 8 ...

The solubilization of curcumin in surfactant micelles could bring the curcumin and the cells closer together in the aqueous phase. This is important as all ROS are unstable, and if generated too far ...

Surfactant–liposome interactions have been previously studied through different methods and techniques. We present here a classical physical chemistry study on liposome solutions added to ...

Surfactants have become a flexible and diverse class of fine chemical products due to their physical and chemical effects such as wetting or anti-sticking, emulsification or demulsification, foaming ...

A group of researchers critically review the use of surfactant-coated nanoparticles in the fields of nanomedicine and food nanotechnology.
