THE SURFACTANTS

American Journal of Perinatology, 2000
Surfactants have been routinely used since 1990 for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The use of surfactant has coincided with a decrease in mortality in infants due to RDS. This review focuses on clinical aspects of surfactant use. New information, particularly effects of ventilatory styles on surfactant function, is presented.

Coacervation with surfactants: From single-chain surfactants to gemini surfactants

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2017
Coacervation is a spontaneous process during which a colloidal dispersion separates into two immiscible liquid phases: a colloid-rich liquid phase in equilibrium with a diluted phase. Coacervation is usually divided into simple coacervation and complex coacervation according to the number of components.

Surfactant substitution

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1979
A mixture of synthetic phospholipids containing 90% Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and 10% Dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol was tested for its suitability as surfactant substitute. Different methods of preparation were employed. The substance was studied by chromatography, Wilhelmy balance, and in rabbits after tracheal instillation during mechanical ...

Inflammation and surfactant

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2002
An intact and well-functioning pulmonary surfactant system is critical for normal respiration and protection from lung infection. Surfactant is comprised of phospholipids that reduce surface tension and greatly reduce the work of breathing. The other major component consists of surfactant-associated proteins, which optimise the biophysical function of ...

Polymer–surfactant and protein–surfactant interactions

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2005
The phase behavior and some physicochemical properties of homopolymers (HP) and hydrophobically modified (HMP) polymers, as well as of polyelectrolytes (PE) and proteins (PR), in the presence of aqueous surfactants, or their mixtures, are discussed.

Surfactants and Nanoscience

2014
Surfactants are molecules with dual characteristics that give rise to adsorption at interfaces and aggregation in solvents: as such, surfactants have found a multitude of applications in nanotechnology. This chapter describes the fundamental properties that are the origins of the rich phase and structural behavior resulting in formation of adsorption ...
