Surfactants are used throughout industry as components in a huge
range of formulated products or as effect chemicals in the
production or processing of other materials. A detailed
understanding of the basis of their activity is required by all
those who use surfactants, yet the new graduate or postgraduate
chemist or chemical engineer will generally have little or no
experience of how and why surfactants work.
Chemistry & Technology of Surfactants is aimed at new graduate or postgraduate level chemists and chemical engineers at the beginning their industrial careers and those in later life who become involved with surfactants for the first time. The book is a straightforward and practical survey of the chemistry of surfactants and their uses, providing a basic introduction to surfactant theory, information on the various types of surfactant and some application details. This will allow readers to build onto their scientific education the concepts and principles on which the successful use of surfactants, across a wide range of industries, is based.
