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 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.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"..includes the progress in a number of important areas of surfactant chemistry and…a number of areas not included in the previous edition." (Energy Sources, June 2005)
"…a clear, concise tutorial on the fundamentals and applications of surfactants...a worthwhile investment, especially for newcomers to the field…" (Polymer News, May 2005)
"...provides readers with a very easy way to find specific literature for their own systems...for anyone needing to learn more about surfactants or applying general colloidal processes." (CHOICE, January 2005) --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
From the Back Cover
The premier text on the properties and applications of surfactants–now fully revised and updated
The past decade has seen significant developments in surfactant chemistry: the emergence of gemini surfactants, superwetting agents, and green surfactants. Coverage of their structure and applications makes this new Third Edition of Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena, already the best available text on the subject, especially timely.
Using a minimum of mathematics, this book clearly describes the properties and applications of surfactants. It explains the mechanisms by which these materials operate in interfacial processes such as foaming, wetting, emulsion formation, and detergency, and shows the correlations between a surfactant’s chemical structure and its action.
The new Third Edition features updates and revisions including:
- Coverage of relevant new literature appearing after the Second Edition
- An entire chapter on gemini surfactants
- Guidelines for selection of surfactant pairs to optimize surfactant properties
- A section on biodegradable surfactants in the context of renewable resources (green surfactants)
- Estimations of marine organism toxicity and bioconcentration from the physicochemical properties of surfactants
- Dynamic surface tension reduction
- Synergy in wetting and superwetting by surfactant mixtures
- Foaming of aqueous dispersions of finely divided solids
- Demulsification by surfactants
- Expanded tables of data not compiled in any other text
- Additional problems at the end of each chapter
Written by Milton Rosen, a widely known expert in the field, Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena, Third Edition provides an easy-to-read, user-friendly resource for industrial chemists and a text for classroom use, and is an unparalleled tool for understanding and applying the latest information on surfactants. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
