ABSTRACT Since surfactants have distinct structures made up of two different molecular sections and a wide range of selection, they are frequently employed in various industrial items including detergents, medications, and anticorrosive treatments. Additionally, surfactants have made a substantial contribution to a wide range of scientific areas, particularly nanotechnology. For instance, the stabilization of hydrophobic nanoparticles in water through the amphiphilic character of surfactants has opened up a wide range of scalable solution-processed nanomaterial-based applications. Another essential ingredient in the creation of precisely regulated nanoparticles is surfactant. The development of colorimetric sensors, which are highly desirable for a wide range of interdisciplinary applications due to their affordability, practicality, high stability, and selectivity, has been made possible via surfactant-assisted metallic nanoparticle synthesis. Because surfactants directly alter the characteristics of nanoparticles, they are essential for optimizing sensor sensitivity and selectivity during nanoparticle manufacturing. In addition, a brand-new class of magnetic surfactants has been developed for use in medication delivery systems. We give an outline of the principles of surfactants and how they are used in the advancement of nanotechnology in this brief review.
