The premier text on the properties and applications of surfactantsnow fully revised and updated
The past decade has seen significant developments in surfactant chemistry: the emergence of gemini surfactants, superwetting agents, and green surfactants. Coverage of their structure and applications makes this new Third Edition of Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena, already the best available text on the subject, especially timely.
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 surfactants chemical structure and its action.
The new Third Edition features updates and revisions including:
Written by Milton Rosen, a widely known expert in the field, Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena, Third Edition 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.
