Abstract:

Surfactants are one of the important chemical products, which have important applications in the fields of daily chemicals, industry, high technology and life science. It is a hot research topic to control the structure, function and properties of surfactants and to realize their cycle utilization, whereas switchable or stimuli-responsive surfactants have given a key to solve these problems. In this lecture, the fundamental knowledge of switchable or stimuli-responsive surfactants and relative smart systems have been introduced, focusing on various responsive groups and triggers including pH, CO2/N2, light, redox, magnetism and temperature.

Key words: switchable surfactants, stimuli-responsive surfactants, smart systems, responsive group, trigger
