Design and Selection of Performance Surfactants is the resource for clear,
informative, in-depth reviews of the most topical areas of surfactant science
and technology. This is the second volume in an annual series already recognized as an
essential resource for major developments in the field.
Topics in this volume include spontaneous polymerization in organized micellar
media, the catalytic and kinetic effects in ethoxylation processes, narrow
and secondary alcohol ethoxylates, plus the latest advances in flurosurfactants
and carbohydrate-derived surfactants.
Further readings cover the cutting-edge, microbial and enzymatic production
of biosurfactants advances in the computer modeling of surfactants. International
contributors detail the latest applications in oil drilling, floor polishes, and
food emulsification.
Features
- Provides a readily accessible source of detailed information on the major
developments
- Applies surfactant research and developments to the food, oil, cleaning
products, and other industries
- Boasts contributors from leading industrial and academic laboratories
around the world
