Amphiphile (from the Greek αμφις, amphis: both and φιλíα, philia: love, friendship) is a term describing a chemical compound possessing both hydrophilic (water-loving, polar) and lipophilic (fat-loving) properties.
Micelle
A micelle (/maɪˈsɛl/) or micella (/maɪˈsɛlə/) (plural micelles or micellae, respectively) is an aggregate (or supramolecular assembly) of surfactant molecules dispersed in a liquid colloid.
Adsorption
Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface.
Brownian motion
Brownian motion or pedesis (from Ancient Greek: πήδησις /pέːdεːsis/ "leaping") is the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) resulting from their collision with the fast-moving atoms or molecules in the gas or liquid.
Emulsion
An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible (unmixable or unblendable).
Solution
In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.
Suspension (chemistry)
In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation.
Viscosity
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress.
Gel
A gel is a solid jelly-like material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough.
Tyndall effect
The Tyndall effect, also known as Tyndall scattering, is light scattering by particles in a colloid or else particles in a very fine suspension.
Colloidal gold
Colloidal gold is a sol or colloidal suspension of submicrometre-size nanoparticles of gold in a fluid, usually water.
Sedimentation
Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier.
Interface and colloid science
Interface and colloid science is an interdisciplinary intersection of branches of chemistry, physics, nanoscience and other fields dealing with colloids, heterogeneous systems consisting of a mechanical mixture of particles between 1 nm and 1000 nm dispersed in a continuous medium.
Mycosubtilin
Mycosubtilin is a natural lipopeptide with antifungal and hemolytic activities and isolated from Bacillus species.
Surfactin
Surfactin is a very powerful surfactant commonly used as an antibiotic.
Zeta potential
Zeta potential is a scientific term for electrokinetic potential in colloidal dispersions.
Thermodynamics of micellization
The surfactant’s critical micelle concentration (CMC) plays a factor in Gibbs free energy of micellization.
Ammonium perfluorononanoate
Ammonium perfluorononanoate (APFN) is an anionic surfactant that in water forms liquid crystalline phases (Lyotropic liquid crystal).
