Surfactant spreading on liquid films in the Stokes regime
AIP Advances, 2022 Characterizing the spreading of surfactants on the surface of a liquid film is central to our understanding of natural and technological processes ranging from cell propulsion and drug delivery in pulmonary airways to cleaning food processing surfaces ...

Surfactant for pulmonary haemorrhage in neonates [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2008 In the 1960s and 1970s, pulmonary haemorrhage (PH) occurred mainly in full-term infants with pre-existing illness with an incidence of 1.3 per 1000 live births. Risk factors for PH included severity of illness, intrauterine growth restriction, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), coagulopathy and the need for assisted ventilation. Presently, PH occurs in 3%

Ionic Surface Active Compounds in Atmospheric Aerosols
The Scientific World Journal, 2002 Surfactants in the atmosphere have several potential roles in atmospheric chemistry. They can form films on aqueous surfaces, which lowers the surface tension and possibly delays water evaporation and gaseous transportation across the aqueous interface ...
