Biosurfactant conventional surfactant mixing at the hydrophilic solid liquid interface.

Abstract: The biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, demand that Home and Personal Care industries develops frameworks for deploying sustainably sourced alternative materials. Biosurfactants tend to be very similar to nonionic and mild anionic surfactants but with significantly higher molecular weights. Saponins are naturally occurring glycolipids with between one and 5 sugar groups as headgroups and are of growing interest as natural detergents. We wish to understand the way that these biosurfactants mix at a more relatistic surface than the air water interface by studying their adsorption in mixtures with a conventional surfactant at the model hydrophilic glass surface.
