A team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities engineering researchers has analyzed the fundamental properties and structures of lung surfactant—a naturally occurring substance that helps human and ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used a surfactant to disperse insulating boron nitride nanotubes and coat them onto surfaces without bundling. The team demonstrated ...

Because of their useful surfactant properties, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been massively produced for non-stick coatings, water-repellant fabrics and firefighting foams. However, ...

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 ...

During titrations, it is crucial to select the right titrant. If the solubility of the formed compounds is lower (their oleophilic properties is greater), the potential jump of the titration curve is ...

A research team analyzed the fundamental properties and structures of the naturally occurring substances that help human lungs expand and contract, providing insight into how the substances help us ...
