Surfactant vs Phase Transfer Catalyst?
« on: April 30, 2011, 01:44:23 PM »
What is the difference between a surfactant and a phase transfer catalyst?
I've worked with PTCs in O chem lab, and I've come across the term "surfactant"...They seem similar, so curiosity abounds...

I'm a second year undergrad (biochem) and avoiding studying for finals by musing about chemistry :)

Cheers!
