The Second Edition has been updated to reflect recent advances in our knowledge of theory and practices. New applications run the gamut from microelectronics and magnetic recording, to biotechnology and nonconventional energy conversion. There is a new chapter on the interactions between surfactants. New sections have been added, and original sections expanded, on such topics as ultralow liquid-liquid interfacial tension, microemulsions, miniemulsions, and multiple emulsions, liquid...
More DescriptionThe Second Edition has been updated to reflect recent advances in our knowledge of theory and practices. New applications run the gamut from microelectronics and magnetic recording, to biotechnology and nonconventional energy conversion. There is a new chapter on the interactions between surfactants. New sections have been added, and original sections expanded, on such topics as ultralow liquid-liquid interfacial tension, microemulsions, miniemulsions, and multiple emulsions, liquid crystal formation, hydrotropy, and steric forces in the stabilization of dispersions. There is also new material on lime soap dispersing agents, fabric softeners, adsorption and wetting of solid surfaces--both equilibrium and nonequilibrium, the relationship between adsorption and micellation in aqueous solutions and its effect on surface tension reduction, and factors determining micellar structure and shape.
