Now in its fourth edition, Surfactants and InterfacialPhenomena explains why and how surfactants operate ininterfacial processes (such as foaming, wetting, emulsion formationand detergency), and shows the correlations between a surfactant'schemical structure and its action.

Updated and revised to include more modern information, alongwith additional three chapters on Surfactants in Biology andBiotechnology, Nanotechnology and Surfactants, and MolecularModeling with Surfactant Systems, this is the premier text on theproperties and applications of surfactants.

This book provides an easy-to-read, user-friendly resource forindustrial chemists and a text for classroom use, and is anunparalleled tool for understanding and applying the latestinformation on surfactants. Problems are included atthe end of each chapter to enhance the reader'sunderstanding, along with many tables of data that are not compiledelsewhere. Only the minimum mathematics is used in theexplanation of topics to make it easy-to-understand and very userfriendly.
