SPERMICIDAL ACTIVITY OF SURFACE-ACTIVE AGENTS [PDF]
Reproduction, 1962 Summary. The spermicidal activities against human spermatozoa of a range of non-ionic, anionic and cationic surface-active agents have been determined with the method of Baker, Ransom & Tynen (1937). Although it has been concluded that surface-tension-lowering properties do not directly influence spermicidal ...
