Bloom et al. 22 compared beractant vs calfactant in the prophylactic treatment of RDS in infants <1250 g. They showed no difference between these two surfactants in mortality or BPD. However, ...

The administration of exogenous surfactant has proven to be efficacious in the treatment and prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). However, premature infants may develop a ...

During titrations, it is crucial to select the right titrant. If the solubility of the formed compounds is lower (their oleophilic properties is greater), the potential jump of the titration curve is ...

Scientists have developed a new lung surfactant that is produced synthetically rather than relying on the use of animal tissues. With further development, the formulation could provide a cheaper and ...

Researchers from the Tohoku Univerisity, Japan, and Christian Albrechts University Kiel, Germany, critically review the use of surfactant-coated nanoparticles in the fields of nanomedicine and food ...

With several surfactants to choose from, the biopharma industry is still working to identify the most effective, environmentally friendly alternatives to the surfactant Triton X-100 (TX-100). The EU ...

New research into graphene flakes has discovered that the material can act as a surfactant, for the first time demonstrating how it can be a versatile 2D stabilizer ideal for many industrial ...

Personal care is going green at a breakneck pace. While most industries, including the chemical industry, are targeting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the consumer product brands that make ...
