Unveiling an antimicrobial nonionic surfactant with enhanced surface activity, emulsification, and physicochemical performance

: A nonionic surfactant, tetraethylene glycol monopalmitate (PEG4-P), was produced with a 98% yield using a one-step imidazole-catalyzed esterification reaction. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based fatty acid esters have been extensively studied, although low-molecular-weight tetraet...
