Combine with sugar and you get a mild nonionic surfactant so gentle it's even used in baby shampoos.

Our results indicate that nonionic surfactant, tween 20 in ppm scale, could inhibit the coagulation removal of polystyrene MPs significantly.

The study suggests that this sugar-based double-tailed nonionic surfactant could be promising nano-vesicular system for delivery and enhancing oral bioavailability of the hydrophobic Levofloxacin.

Indeed, we found that formamide solutions of nonionic surfactants did not form stable foam films at concentrations below the critical micelle concentration.

Nonionic surfactants impeded the adsorption of both cationic and anionic pollutants due to the steric resistance of the hydrophilic polyethelene glycol chains.
