conclusions potato peels were proved to be potentially useful substrates for biosurfactant production by b. pumilus dsvp18. the strain possessed a unique property to reduce surface tension of the media from 72 to 28.7 mn/m. in addition, it showed a stable surface activity over a wide range of temperatures, ph, and saline conditions and had strong antimicrobial activity. this potential of the id...

suspension polymerization processes are significantly important in polymer bead formation. one of the important factors for bead size control in these processes is variation in surface tension. in this research, the prediction of optimum concentration of a surface active agent was investigated on the basis of the experimental surface tension diagrams. the experimental data show that the desired...
