This book is the premier text on the properties and applications of surfactants. The third edition is completely updated and revised, including new information on gemini surfactants (a new type of powerful surfactant), superspreading (or superwetting) by aqueous surfactant solutions of highly hydrophobic surfaces (important in agricultural applications), and dynamic surface tension (an important interfacial property not covered in the first two editions).
* Clearly explains the mechanisms by which surfactants operate in interfacial processes
* Uses a minimum of mathematics in explanation of topics, making it easy-to-understand and very user-friendly
* Problems are included at the end of each chapter
* Includes many tables of data as reference that are not compiled elsewhere
* Milton J Rosen is an expert in the field of Surfactant research
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"..includes the progress in a number of important areas of surfactant chemistry and...a number of areas not included in the previous edition." (Energy Sources, June 2005) "...a clear, concise tutorial on the fundamentals and applications of surfactants...a worthwhile investment, especially for newcomers to the field..." (Polymer News, May 2005) "...provides readers with a very easy way to find specific literature for their own systems...for anyone needing to learn more about surfactants or applying general colloidal processes." (CHOICE, January 2005)
