Bloom et al. 22 compared beractant vs calfactant in the prophylactic treatment of RDS in infants <1250 g. They showed no difference between these two surfactants in mortality or BPD. However, ...

Surfactant flooding is a well-established method of heavy oil recovery; by pumping the surfactant into a reserve, the oil and ...

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex of surface-active lipids, especially dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), and at least four specific surfactant proteins, SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D. It is ...

A study published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts establishes quantitative structure-activity relationships ...

Researchers have developed a surfactant spray that counters the mosquito’s natural water-resisting properties, offering a safe and effective means of taking down mosquitoes without using insecticides.

What happens to soap and detergent surfactants when they run down the drain? Do they seep into the groundwater, lakes and streams, where they could pose a risk to fish and frogs? Not likely. This is ...

With several surfactants to choose from, the biopharma industry is still working to identify the most effective, environmentally friendly alternatives to the surfactant Triton X-100 (TX-100). The EU ...

New research into graphene flakes has discovered that the material can act as a surfactant, for the first time demonstrating how it can be a versatile 2D stabilizer ideal for many industrial ...

Scientists have developed a new lung surfactant that is produced synthetically rather than relying on the use of animal tissues. With further development, the formulation could provide a cheaper and ...

Unconventional reservoirs typically yield less than 10% oil recovery. In the Permian basin, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes include CO 2 injection, huff and puff, water injection, and, to a lesser ...

Personal care is going green at a breakneck pace. While most industries, including the chemical industry, are targeting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the consumer product brands that make ...
