| Abstract | ||||
| Surfactants are specialty chemicals that are widely used in food, medicine, textile, agriculture, adhesive, leather, cleaning, and cosmetic industries. Structurally, because surfactants possess both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, they easily adsorb at the surface or the interface of a solution when dissolved in solvents such as water and oil. This subsequently reduces the surface or interfacial tension of the solution, imbuing it with unique properties such as wettability, emulsibility, foamability, and dispersibility. Surfactants may also be required for detergency, level dyeing, and other functions, and the selection of a particular surfactant for a given function is based on how well it interacts with the fibers and/or other system components. Unit procedures in textile processing include desizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing, printing, and the application of functional finishes. | ||||
