Characteristic features of surfactants -- Adsorption of surface-active agents at interfaces : the electrical double layer -- Micelle formation by surfactants -- Solubilization by solutions of surfactants : micellar catalysis -- Reduction of surface and interfacial tension by surfactants -- Wetting and its modification by surfactants -- Foaming and antifoaming by aqueous solutions of surfactants -- Emulsification by surfactants -- Dispersion and aggregation of solids in liquid media by surfactants -- Detergency and its modification by surfactants -- Molecular interactions and synergism in mixtures of two surfactants -- Gemini surfactants |
| Summary |
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 |
