(1) This is the result of there being too little of a substance known as a surfactant , which acts as a kind of detergent or wetting agent to lower the surface tension of the fluid in the lungs.(2) The third item on the list is a surfactant like liquid dishwashing detergent.(3) Common binders are a combination of waxes and organic materials, which may include thermoplastics or thermosets along with surfactants and other additives.(4) Finally, addition of cationic surfactants to lipid membranes leads to hole formation.(5) Also known as surfactants , these materials help stabilize the system by reducing the interfacial tension between the two phases.(6) In 1937 the first cationic surfactants were used in bituminous road construction and these were quaternary ammonium salts.(7) Similar approaches were used for the adsorption of surfactants and polymers.(8) The company's dishwashing liquid, for example, contains surfactants made from vegetable oil, as well as ingredients such as aloe vera and wheat protein.(9) The nonstick chemicals also serve in stain-resistant coatings and as surfactants in fire-fighting foams, floor polishes, and insecticides.(10) The most commonly used spray additives include oils, surfactants , and certain fertilizers.(11) They include such materials as thickeners, surfactants , defoamers, biocides, and pigment dispersants.(12) Research on surfactants and membrane solubilization showed that anionic surfactants interact more with lipid bilayers.(13) They act like surfactants and displace u2018foamingu2019 beer proteins from the surface.(14) Silicone surfactants , and amine and tin catalysts, are also used.(15) This same swimming response can be elicited by contact with several other seastars, or by surfactants such as soaps and detergents, or by strong salt solutions.(16) Water is a fabulous cleaning agent, but it's even better when tiny nanoscale particles, such as detergent surfactants , are dispersed in it.
