Abstract
The increasing trend towards low Greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable sourcing and waste minimisation has led to a large number of new surface-active species being made available whose unique sourcing and physical properties render them important aids towards achieving nett zero carbon in Home and Personal Care formulations. The X-ray and neutron small angle scattering techniques together with cryo-TEM and molecular modelling are important tools for the characterisation of their self-assembled microstructures in aqueous solution. In this Chapter, some of the recent studies of mixtures of a selection of novel biosurfactants, sophorolipids, rhamnolipids and triterpenoid saponins, with other commonplace anionic and nonionic surfactants are presented and discussed.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications.
Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments.
Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
