Describes recent techniques applied to characterize surfactant systems, such as surfactant-stabilized colloids, micelles, microemulsions, emulsions and foams in both aqueous and nonaqueous fluids. The text probes adsorption and wetting phenomena at interfaces, including solid-liquid, liquid-vapour and liquid-liquid. It provides helpful examples and case studies illustrating how these techniques may be used in complementary ways.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
...this book...should prove useful for those developing a very broad range of commercial products.
---Polymer News
This is a wonderful book containing excellent reviews of 12 important techniques used to study surfactants. It is essential reading for scientists wanting both an introduction to these techniques and their advantages and limitations, and some recent results with surfactant systems.... ...each chapter of the book gives an excellent, understandable introduction to the theory and practice of each technique with sufficient references for the interested reader to follow up. Diagrams are clear and the whole book is well indexed. Overall, it is one of the best contributions to the Surfactant Science series.
---Journal of Surfactants and Detergents
...suggest[s] alternative ways of solving problems through novel techniques....many people working in this area, particularly in academic research departments, could find much of value in this book, and would certainly recommend it for those whodaily lives are spent trying to understand the behaviour of surfactants at interfaces.
