Identifying Hydrocarbon and Fluorocarbon Surfactants in Specialty Chemical Formulations of Environmental Interest by Fast Atom Bombardment/Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
Hydrocarbon- and fluorocarbon-based surfactants are used in specialty or 'niche' chemical formulations that are designed for applications such as aircraft deicing and anti-icing, 'spreaders' that increase the effectiveness of pesticide ...

Trimethylsilyl hedgehogs – a novel class of super-efficient hydrocarbon surfactants [PDF]
Presented here are the results for a novel class of hydrocarbon surfactants, termed trimethylsilyl hedgehogs (TMS-hedgehogs), due to the presence of silicon in the tails.

Self aggregation of fluorocarbon surfactants and fluorocarbon- hydrocarbon surfactant mixtures
The aggregation and phase behavior of fluorocarbon surfactants in micellar, and liquid crystalline phases, and micellization in nonideal mixed fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon surfactant system have been investigated by means of a variety of techniques.The ...

Fluoro- vs hydrocarbon surfactants: why do they differ in wetting performance? [PDF]
Fluorosurfactants are the most effective compounds to lower the surface tension of aqueous solutions, but their wetting properties as related to low energy hydrocarbon solids are inferior to hydrocarbon trisiloxane surfactants, although the latter ...

Disclosing Environmental Ligands of hL-FABP and PPARγ: Should We Re-evaluate the Chemical Safety of Hydrocarbon Surfactants? [PDF]
Chemical contaminants can cause adverse effects by binding to the liver - fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) and peroxisome proliferator-activated nuclear receptor γ (PPARγ), which are vital in lipid metabolism.

A Novel Approach to Stabilize Foam Using Fluorinated Surfactants
Selection of surfactants for enhanced oil recovery and other upstream applications is a challenging task. For enhanced oil recovery applications, a surfactant should be thermally stable, compatible with reservoir brine, and have lower adsorption on ...

Emulsification of Hydrocarbon Fermentation Broth by Surfactants [PDF]
In order to perform hydrocarbon fermentation satisfactorily, it was necessary to get the sample representing the real feature of the broth. However, Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus S10B1, which could accumulate a good deal of l-glutamic acid, formed a coagulated mass of cells like pellet as they grew up, making the broth heterogeneous, To obtain ...
