The Pluronic types of surfactants are block-copolymers based on ethylenoxide and propylenoxide. The are used to lubricate and decrease the surface tension in certain types of metal work.

Surfactant: any substance that when dissolved in water or an aqueous solution reduces its surface tension or the interfacial tension between it and another liquid
Is Pluronic a real word?
Do you mean a Pulmonary Surfactant? Try wikipedia.

Plueronic surfactant
Surfactant is a naturally produced detergent ,
In the human, it gives viscosity and elasticity = to lung tissue ,
allowing expansion of the alveoli , so increased oxygen absorbtion
Surfactant is absent, in some premature babies , causing breathing dificulties
Atrtificial surfactant , is now given to premature babies,
with a low level of surfactant .
To improve thier breathing capabilities .
