Description
In response to intensifying interest on surfactant research brought on by recent innovation, “Structure-Performance Relationships in Surfactants, Second Edition” examines novel developments in our understanding of the properties and performance of surfactants at air-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid interfaces, highlighting seven new chapters and carefully updated material to reflect current trends. This edition presents new material on the adsorption of vesicle-forming surfactants at the air-water interface, fluorinated surfactants having two hydrophobic chains, surface-active properties of telomer-type surfactants having several hydrocarbon chains, and the association behaviour of amphiphilic dendritic polymers, among many other topics.
