Now in its fourth edition, Surfactants and Interfacial
Phenomena explains why and how surfactants operate in
interfacial processes (such as foaming, wetting, emulsion formation
and detergency), and shows the correlations between a surfactant’s
chemical structure and its action.
Updated and revised to include more modern information, along
with additional three chapters on Surfactants in Biology and
Biotechnology, Nanotechnology and Surfactants, and Molecular
Modeling with Surfactant Systems, this is the premier text on the
properties and applications of surfactants.
This book provides an easy-to-read, user-friendly resource for
industrial chemists and a text for classroom use, and is an
unparalleled tool for understanding and applying the latest
information on surfactants. Problems are included at
the end of each chapter to enhance the reader’s
understanding, along with many tables of data that are not compiled
elsewhere. Only the minimum mathematics is used in the
explanation of topics to make it easy-to-understand and very user
friendly.
