Biosurfactants, natural alternatives to synthetic surfactants: Physicochemical properties and applications.

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2019
Biosurfactants comprise a wide array of amphiphilic molecules synthesized by plants, animals, and microbes. The synthesis route dictates their molecular characteristics, leading to broad structural diversity and ensuing functional properties.

Impact of the charge density on the behaviour of polycarboxylate ethers as cement dispersants

Construction and Building Materials, 2018
The charge density of polycarboxylate ethers (PCEs) is the driver for adsorption of these polymers on the surface of hydrating Portland cement, which is the necessary step for the PCE to disperse and plasticise Portland-based materials.
