Abstract

The scientific network of the surfactants and related subjects has been analyzed with the CoPalRed© knowledge system. The actors studied have been countries, research centers and laboratories, researchers, and journals. The thematic map of the major research areas has been established. Most of the research areas, and those that have the greatest representation in terms of number of documents, are related to physics and chemistry. However, biochemistry and cell biology, medicine (pediatrics and pulmonary physiology), and, to a lesser extent, veterinary medicine and food science and technology are also noteworthy in the field of surfactants, which presents a markedly multidisciplinary profile. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
