Three Miami students are working with proteins to see their effect on surfactant mixtures, a type of substance that reduce the surface tension of a liquid. Jared Coffin, a chemical engineering ...

The reluctance for oil and water to mix is so well-known that it's even used to described things that don't go well together - it's why salad dressing separates if it hasn't been mixed for a few ...

A jar containing a clear liquid that looks like water, but is actually an emulsion of oil and water at the nanoscale. MIT Water and oil have been foes forever. It is widely established these two ...

Oil and water can for the first time be mixed and separated on demand thanks to a new, reversible surfactant. The liquid molecule could prove invaluable in mitigating the environmental damage caused ...

The study, published in the journal Food Hydrocolloids, suggests that using a mixture of commonly available emulsifying proteins and solid particles could lead to more stable emulsions and foams. The ...

A new study reveals how lower temperatures improve the activity of surfactant, a molecular mixture that is essential for breathing. This indicates that therapeutic hypothermia is a potential treatment ...

Market valued at $46.59B in 2024, projected 7.31% CAGR growth driven by bio-based adoption, detergent demand, and ...

Mixtures called alpha-gels are thick, do not flow easily, and can hold much water. Therefore, many skincare products are based on them. A group of scientists from Japan has made an alpha-gel with a ...
