  2. Surfactant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant

    Non-ionic surfactants are less sensitive to water hardness than anionic surfactants, and they foam less strongly. The differences between the individual types of non-ionic surfactants are slight, and the choice is primarily governed having regard to the costs of special properties (e.g., effectiveness and efficiency, toxicity, dermatological ...

  3. Ionic liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_liquid

    Low-temperature ionic liquids can be compared to ionic solutions, liquids that contain both ions and neutral molecules, and in particular to the so-called deep eutectic solvents, mixtures of ionic and non-ionic solid substances which have much lower melting points than the pure compounds. Certain mixtures of nitrate salts can have melting ...

  4. Wetting solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetting_solution

    A typical wetting solution molecule consists of a hydrophilic head and long hydrophobic tail. (From top to bottom: non-ionic, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic.) Wetting solutions are liquids containing active chemical compounds that minimise the distance between two immiscible phases by lowering the surface tension to induce

  5. Ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

    In ionic compounds there arise characteristic distances between ion neighbours from which the spatial extension and the ionic radius of individual ions may be derived. The most common type of ionic bonding is seen in compounds of metals and nonmetals (except noble gases, which rarely form chemical compounds).

  7. Non-ionizing radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-ionizing_radiation

    Different types of electromagnetic radiation. Non-ionizing (or non-ionising) radiation refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy per quantum (photon energy) to ionize atoms or molecules—that is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule.

  8. Thermodynamics of micellization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics_of_micelliz...

    This means that the surfactant adsorbs at low surfactant concentrations with its head-group contacting the surface. Depending on the type of head-group and surface, the attraction will have a short-range contribution for both non-ionic and ionic surfactants. Ionic surfactants will also experience a generic electrostatic interaction.

  9. Iodinated contrast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodinated_contrast

    Iodine-based contrast media are usually classified as ionic or nonionic. Both types are used most commonly in radiology due to their relatively harmless interaction with the body and their solubility. Contrast media are primarily used to visualize vessels and changes in tissues on radiography and CT (computerized tomography).
