Structural elucidation of co-polymer-like surfactants using MALDI High-Energy Collision Induced Dissociation

  • Despite the extensive use of surfactants in household and industry, there is a lack of accessible data in the literature describing their analysis.

  • Most of this information is generally proprietary and not available in public domain. The rising interest in surfactant analysis relies in the heavy pollutant power of untreated wastewaters that diffuse in environments and represent a high risk of contamination for ecosystems and population.

  • In this regards, MALDI analysis appears particularly suited for polymer-like structures such as surfactants, offering an easy and versatile technique to investigate with high accuracy structural details such as chain derivatisations and terminal groups.
