Application of Comb-Type Fluorocarbon Polymer Surfactants as Dispersants in Insecticidal and Fungicidal Suspension Concentrates [PDF]
MoleculesTo investigate the application of novel comb-type fluorinated polymeric surfactants in suspension concentrates (SCs), we used the optimized surfactants (Comb-S 1, Comb-S 2, and Comb-S 3) as dispersants, with commercial dispersants as controls, to prepare

Halloysite nanotubes as delivery mechanism for feather protein-based multi-surfactant systems in crude oil dispersion application [PDF]
HeliyonChicken feather protein (CFP), and lecithin (L), Tween 80 (T), and DOSS (D) surfactant systems were loaded onto halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), a natural clay aluminosilicate product to form particulate dispersants at different surfactant concentrations and

A normalized parameter for comparison of biofilm dispersants in vitro [PDF]
BiofilmDispersal of infectious biofilms increases bacterial concentrations in blood. To prevent sepsis, the strength of a dispersant should be limited to allow the immune system to remove dispersed bacteria from blood, preferably without antibiotic ...

Do biosurfactants as anti-biofilm agents have a future in industrial water systems?
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Biofilms are bacterial communities embedded in exopolymeric substances that form on the surfaces of both man-made and natural structures. Biofilm formation in industrial water systems such as cooling towers results in biofouling and biocorrosion and ...

Regulatory policies for using oil dispersants in the Barents Sea [PDF]
Polar Research, 2015 Use of dispersants requires assessment of which environmental values are at stake. In the Barents Sea this issue is of high concern as large oil spills can cause transboundary pollution, affecting the interests of two neighbouring countries.
