Knowledge from functional tests of surfactant action , its immunochemistry , kinetics and homeostasis are important also for improving therapy with animal - derived surfactant preparations and for the development of modified surfactants .
In the past decade newly designed artificial surfactants and additives have gained much attention and have proven different advantages , but their particular role still has to be defined .
