Solid
Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter along with liquid, gas, and plasma.
Sorbitan monolaurate
Sorbitan monolaurate is a mixture of esters formed from the fatty acid lauric acid and polyols derived from sorbitol, including sorbitan and isosorbide.
See Surfactant and Sorbitan monolaurate
Sorbitan monooleate
Sorbitan monooleate is a food additive with the E number E494.

Sorbitan monostearate
Sorbitan monostearate is an ester of sorbitan (a sorbitol derivative) and stearic acid and is sometimes referred to as a synthetic wax.
See Surfactant and Sorbitan monostearate
Sorbitan tristearate
Sorbitan tristearate is a nonionic surfactant.

Spermicide
Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that destroys sperm, inserted vaginally prior to intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
Sphingomyelin
Sphingomyelin (SPH) is a type of sphingolipid found in animal cell membranes, especially in the membranous myelin sheath that surrounds some nerve cell axons.
See Surfactant and Sphingomyelin
Spinning drop method
The spinning drop method or rotating drop method is one of the methods used to measure interfacial tension.
See Surfactant and Spinning drop method
Stain repellent
A stain repellent is a product added to fabric in order to prevent stains.
See Surfactant and Stain repellent
Steric effects
Steric effects arise from the spatial arrangement of atoms.
See Surfactant and Steric effects
Sulfonate
In organosulfur chemistry, a sulfonate is a salt, anion or ester of a sulfonic acid.
Surface rheology
Surface rheology is a description of the rheological properties of a free surface.
See Surfactant and Surface rheology
Surface tension
Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible.
See Surfactant and Surface tension
Surfactant leaching
Surfactant leaching of acrylic (latex) paints, also known as exudate staining, streak staining, streaking, weeping, exudation, etc., occurs when the freshly painted surface becomes wet and water-soluble components of the paint (dispersants, surfactants, thickeners, glycols, etc.) leach out of the paint in sticky brown streaks.
See Surfactant and Surfactant leaching
Toothpaste
Toothpaste is a paste or gel dentifrice used with a toothbrush to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth.
Triton X-100
Triton X-100 (n) is a nonionic surfactant that has a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and an aromatic hydrocarbon lipophilic or hydrophobic group.
See Surfactant and Triton X-100
Wetting
Wetting is the ability of a liquid to displace gas to maintain contact with a solid surface, resulting from intermolecular interactions when the two are brought together.
X-ray reflectivity
X-ray reflectivity (sometimes known as X-ray specular reflectivity, X-ray reflectometry, or XRR) is a surface-sensitive analytical technique used in chemistry, physics, and materials science to characterize surfaces, thin films and multilayers.
See Surfactant and X-ray reflectivity
Zwitterion
In chemistry, a zwitterion, also called an inner salt or dipolar ion, is a molecule that contains an equal number of positively and negatively charged functional groups.
