SurfactantSurfactants are products used as detergents, dispersing agents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, foaming or anti-foam agents, and solubilisers. They also constitute the raw material for the formulation of household products such as fabric detergents, shampoos, housecleaning products, as well as industrial auxiliary products for facilitating work in the [..]

SurfactantA substance that acts to reduce the surface tension of the liquid it is immersed in, which has both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic end. It also reduces the interfacial tension between two liquids or a liquid and a solid and therefore increases the solubility of organic compounds. Examples of surfactants include detergents, foaming agents and dispe [..]

14 |
Surfactanta liquid that is secreted by the lung cells to coat alveoli. This liquid prevents alveoli from collapsing, thereby making gas exchange easier. Premature infants do not make much surfactant yet, and are therefore at risk of significant lung disease, which leads to "bronchopulmonary dysplasia" or BPD.

SurfactantFrom SURFace ACTive AgeNT. A substance which prefers to exist at the boundary between two other substances - for example, detergents have one end highly soluble in greasy, non-polar susbtances and one end soluble in water. Sodium dodecyl sulfate is a common surfactant. See also emulsifier.
