This reference investigates the role and dynamics of surfactants and their solution properties in
the formulation of paints, printing inks, paper coatings, pharmaceuticals, personal care products,
cosmetics, liquid detergents, and lubricants. It describes methods to solve problems of reactant
incompatibility; model and control the mechanisms of gas—liquid, liquid—liquid, and solid—liquid systems;
and improve emulsion stability against sedimentation, flocculation, Ostwald ripening, coalescence,
and phase inversion.
Adsorption and Aggregation of Surfactants in
Solution also explores the relationship between
surfactant chemical composition and aggregate shape; the properties, structures, and forces affecting
suspensions, emulsions, and foams; the adsorption of surfactants and polymers at various interfaces; the effect
of surface charge on micellar structure; the effect of additives on micellar size and shape; and
much more.
From the Preface: “This volume embodies, in part, the proceedings of the 13th International
Symposium on Surfactants in Solution (SIS) held in Gainesville, Florida, June 11-16, 2000...As
surfactants play an important role in many and diverse technologies, ranging from high-tech (microelectronics)
to low-tech (washing clothes) applications, an understanding of their behavior in solution is of
paramount importance. Also, as we learn more about surfactants and devise new surfactant formulations,
novel and exciting applications will emerge...”
Target Audience: Physical, analytical, surface, colloid, polymer, and medicinal chemists and
biochemists; chemical technologists working in the paint, pigment, paper, textile, detergent, and
cosmetic industries; environmental scientists; toxicologists; microbiologists; food scientists; and
upper-level students in these disciplines.
