A Small Chemical Lever With Big Implications for Self-Assembling Materials
Researchers are examining how sulfur oxidation states shape the behavior of sugar-based surfactant molecules, a subtle molecular change that could matter for how soft materials organize in water.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers examined how sulfur oxidation states affect sugar-based surfactant molecules.
- These amphiphilic molecules contain a hydrophilic sugar headgroup and a hydrophobic segment.
