Abstract
Research and applications relevant to human health are enabled by detergent chemistry. A multifaceted overview of this field is yet missing. To close this gap, this topical collection provides an overview of recent advances in detergent chemistry covering progress in synthesis, supramolecular characterization, and application. Our collection shows that detergent chemists operate usually interdisciplinary. Connecting molecular structures of detergents with properties relevant to applications is at the center of scientific exploitation. Detergent chemists deliver solutions to research and industry that aim at securing well‐being, hygiene, and new pharmaceuticals.
