Perfectly Wetting Mixtures of Surfactants from Renewable Resources

The Interaction and Synergistic Effects on Adsorption and Micellization
Industrial detergents, wetting agents and conditioning compositions are generally mixtures of different types of surfactants. This paper presents a study of the surface properties of mixtures of surfactants originating from renewable sources. The main objective was to optimize the surfactant ratio that produces the highest wetting properties during analysis of the solution of the individual surfactants, two- and three-component mixtures, and at different pH values.
