General description
Brij® S20 is a surfactant that belongs to the class of polyoxyethylene ethers. It is majorly used in pharmaceutical applications to improve the solubility of the drugs. It can also be grafted on a variety of surfaces to enhance the intracellular uptake of dyes.
Application
- Nanostructured lipid carriers for oral delivery of silymarin: Improving its absorption and in vivo efficacy in type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome model.: This study utilizes Brij® S20 to develop nanostructured lipid carriers for oral delivery of silymarin. The findings demonstrate enhanced absorption and efficacy of silymarin in treating type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, highlighting the potential of Brij® S20 in improving drug delivery systems. (Piazzini et al., 2019).
- Water-stable all-biodegradable microparticles in nanofibers by electrospinning of aqueous dispersions for biotechnical plant protection.: The study uses Brij® S20 to create water-stable, biodegradable microparticles in nanofibers through electrospinning. These microparticles are designed for biotechnical plant protection, demonstrating the potential of Brij® S20 in agricultural biotechnology. (Bansal et al., 2012).

Alkyl-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) surfactants containing a terminal hydroxyl, sulfate, or carboxylate group were grafted at the surface of poly(ethylene) (PE) samples to improve their blood compatibility. Grafting was achieved by immobilizing PEO surfactants on PE using an argon plasma treatment.
