Description
Surfactants play an important role in many human endeavors, ranging from consumer products (cosmetics, foods, and powdered soaps) to many
aspects of biology and pharmaceuticals. This book presents researchers with the basic principles governing phase behavior of surfactants,
the relationship between phase behavior and molecular structure, and the various ways in which this information can be applied. Coverage
includes qualitative concepts and relationships between phase science and thermodynamics, as well as how this information can be used
to describe surfactant systems.
Audience
Graduate students and researchers in both academia and industry working on surfactant science and technology
