This journal publishes research on the synthesis, characterization, and application of surfactants and detergents. Studies investigate their self-assembly behavior, including micellization and the formation of various nanostructures in different solvent systems. Applications explored include enhanced oil recovery, corrosion inhibition, heat transfer fluids, and use in cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical formulations. Research also addresses the development of sustainable and biodegradable surfactants from natural sources.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
