A unique chemical compound at MIT is making a splash in the surfactant field. Surfactants are chemicals that lower the surface tension between two liquids, making them easier to mix. They are more commonly found in products like shampoos, soaps and detergents. But the same function has been a challenge to find in surfactants that are also compatible with proteins, another key ingredient in many formulations.
Learn how well MIT plays with proteins. Proteins are the building blocks of life and carry out an astonishing variety of functions. They exist in everything from our muscles to our hair. Combining surfactants and protein-based systems isn't easy when it comes to product formulation, either.
MIT provide a multimodal tool for surfactants and proteins. Based on the findings, Puyuan scientists believe that MIT has special compatibility with the surfactants as well proteins, hence its application in many products. Such versatility permits new and novel types of formulations which were never before achievable.
20% of MIT in difficult formulations exposed. One of the most interesting learnings on MIT to date is its 20% compatibility with challenging formulations containing surfactants and proteins. This means MIT can be incorporated into products that rely on a high degree of compatibility between these two key groups.
The physics behind why MIT can with surfactants and proteins. The ability of MIT to be incorporated into surfactants and proteins so successfully is due to its molecular architecture. MIT has the special feature in that it can interact at a molecular level both with surfactants and with proteins, thus facilitating the perfect mixing of these two important constituents. This interaction leads to formulations which are stable and efficient and have improved performance.
