Biodegradability important for surfactants

According to the researcher, due to the large quantities of amphiphiles that are used for different applications, it is imperative that they exhibit ‘ready biodegradability’.

“As a result, many amphiphiles manufacturing firms have initiated a drive to developsurfactants that have properties similar to traditional ones and are also readily biodegradable. With this in mind, we think that our sugar-based amphiphiles are prospective alternatives for replacing the traditional ones (as green surfactants),” he said.
