Synergistic Effects of Surfactants
Observed when surfactants having relatively similar structure or ionic property are mixed
Resulted in the formation of liquid crystal structures or complexes at the interface by intermolecular interactions between surfactants
Examples
Anionic and nonionic in synthetic latex emulsion polymerisation,
Mixture of a dispersant and a hydrating agent to increase dispersion stability in agricultural chemicals
