Polymer–surfactant and protein–surfactant interactions
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2005The 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 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 ...

American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 2006
The pharmacology, clinical efficacy, and cost considerations of exogenous lung surfactants are reviewed.Exogenous pulmonary surfactants, along with advancements in ventilatory care, have significantly reduced the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and its related complications in infants.

Medical Hypotheses, 1977
In previous publications (1,2) the hypothesis was put forward that atheroma is caused by some pathogen or metabolic fault which impairs the transportability of cholesterol in the plasma. The lipoproteins containing the faulty metabolites are assumed to be incapable of traversing the capillary endothelium and continue to circulate uselessly in the blood

Surfactant–Amino Acid and Surfactant–Surfactant Interactions in Aqueous Medium: a Review
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2015An overview of surfactant-amino acid interactions mainly in aqueous medium has been discussed. Main emphasis has been on the solution thermodynamics and solute-solvent interactions. Almost all available data on the topic has been presented in a lucid and simple way.

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 ...

Synfacts, 2006
Many industrial applications that rely on emulsions would benefit from an efficient, rapid method of breaking these emulsions at a specific desired stage. We report that long-chain alkyl amidine compounds can be reversibly transformed into charged surfactants by exposure to an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, thereby stabilizing water/alkane emulsions or,

Pulmonary surfactant reduces the surface tension of the alveolar air-liquid interface, thereby providing mechanical stability and preventing alveolar atelectasis. More than 50% of surfactant is dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, a material that is capable of reducing the surface tension of the alveolar interface to uniquely low values.

Surfactant is a metabolically active assembly of phospholipids and surfactant-specific proteins that is essential for normal lung mechanics. The surfactant proteins SP-A and SP-D also have important innate host defense functions. Surfactant metabolism in the developing lung differs from the adult lung by having slower kinetics of secretion with a ...

Resuscitation, 1989
This paper presents the rationale for surfactant replacement therapy. In 6 animal models in which respiratory failure was induced by damaging the bronchial surfactant, surfactant depletion by lung lavage, by free oxygen radicals, by influenza virus and by anti-lung serum, it is demonstrated that surfactant instillation always led to an improvement in ...
