Surfactants are often completely invisible to us and yet they are
present in almost every chemical that we use in our daily life.
They are found in toothpastes, cosmetics, sunscreens, mayonnaise,
detergents, and an array of cleaning products. Traditional
surfactants are known to have adverse environmental impacts
spurring research into eco-friendly and cost-effective surfactants
from renewable resources. Surfactants from Renewable Raw Materials
examines the class of surfactants synthesized using plant-based raw
materials detailing their properties, applications,
bioavailability, and biodegradability. The concluding chapter
reviews patent activity over the last decade. Additional features
include: Addresses the tremendous variation found in the raw
materials used to synthesize commercially available surfactants.
Explores the selection of raw materials based upon the desired
hydrophobic group or hydrophilic group to be incorporated into the
product. Examines the characteristics and medicinal applications of
pulmonary surfactants in preterm babies as well as their probable
contribution in COVID-19 Discusses the biodegradability of
surfactants to assist with the determination of truly green
surfactants. This comprehensive reference will prove indispensable
for professional and academic researchers creating or working with
bio-based surfactants.
