Be the first to write a review

Overview

"Using a minimum of mathematics, this book clearly describes the properties and applications of surfactants. It explains the mechanisms by which these materials 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." Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena, Third Edition provides a resource for industrial chemists and a text for classroom use, and is a tool for understanding and applying the latest information on surfactants. ...

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

“The book is recommended to all who want to enter the interesting and yet further growing field of surfactants at interfaces. It can serve äs textbook for graduated students attending courses on surfactants and their applications. The book is also excellent for experts working in fundamental and applied research äs they can find the main principles of the modification of interfaces via the impact of surfactants.” (Tenside Surfactants Detergents, 1 May 2012)
